    most states already have these laws on the books,
    here in fl you can't change them unless to manuf or similar
    model with same level of db.

    nobody does and unless you are stupid
    riding around with porker straight drags
    and letting them brapppppappatpapapapap as loud
    as you can to be "cool" you get left alone..

    Here's fl

    Muffler: No person shall modify the exhaust system in such a manner that the noise emitted is above that emitted by the vehicle as originally manufactured. No person shall operate a vehicle with an exhaust system so modified.
    Decibels/Maximum Sound: Maximum allowable A-weighted sound levels based on measurements taken at a distance of 50 feet from center line of travel (Sec. 316.293): 1) Manufactured before 1/1/79--82dBA (35mph or less); 86dBA (over 35mph) 2)Manufactured after 1/1/79--78dBA(35mph or less); 82dBA(over 35mph).

    Just don't go to NH or ride loud...

    Its time to STOP all of this NOw.
    If the law was written the citizens can have it changed. Just cause the Politicians wrote it don't mean its in stone and can't be changed.
    And in states where its not written, you need to git up and speak

    Went to the Tax office today to renew the tag on my 4x4. Haven't had the money in Months.
    The 1st thing out of the ladies mouth. Have you had any ticket. No Why have you.
    WEll you are trying to renew a tag for a truck.
    Lady I'm retired. Do you think just cause the State sends me a notise in the mail I have the money to just jump up and go out and get the tag renewed.
    Have you drove the truck. How the heck can I drive the truck with no tag on it.
    The police will stop me and give me a ticket.
    Where did you go to school at.
    Do you bust the chops on all the senior citizens that comes in her.

    The Cities, states, and federal goverment does nothin but make new laws so they will have more ways to collect more money so they can continue to overspend.
    Its time for it to STOP now.
    And word has already been said. Obama is gonna get 4 more years.:gah:

    I hope that word is wrong, all the citizens of this country who work hard everyday at a legitimate job, and those retired from the same, need to get out and vote Oooobama out of office, even though the media is doing their best at finding dirt on the candidates that may have made a difference. Anyone would be better than what we got to help show politicians we won't stand for the crap they keep putting out! and they can be replaced :mad:

    Most that we're on unemployment stopped drawing unemployment for reasons like, they can't get any more extensions or gave up. This was reported on Fox news today. It made the employment records look better. :rolleyes:
