[DeTomaso] New California Exhaust Fine

Back in the 70s I was riding a Norton Commando to school, and the California Highway Patrol periodically set up a roadside check near the college to nail students.  I was flagged over, and revved up the Norton, and got a fit it ticket.  I was a little ticked off because I had stock exhaust, and went by the local Highway Patrol office to ask them to actually measure the sound level.  Before I could explain why I was there, and office asked me to start the bike.  This time I didn't rev it much, and he signed off and I was done.  So I guess the message is, don't make more noise than you have to.

When I lived on Maui, that was the MPD’s take on loud pipes. That said, they did take exception to Honda Civics with a Yuban can for an exhaust. Bikes, exotic and muscle cars with loud exhausts were never ticketed, unless you were showing off and reviving the engine like mad. I had several close calls while driving my car (tourists are too busy gawking at the scenery then to watch for other vehicles), but that went to zero after I installed a set of Flowmaster 10s.
