bowfer said:If you want your car to be noisier than stock,you're an anti-social menace and it should be an endorseable offence,IMO.

...Also I presume you dont ride around on that bike in your profile picture?
bowfer said:The 100% stock and road legal bike,you mean ?
I'm all for noisy exhausts being an endorseable offence,bikes or cars.
jonnyc said:Still, im pretty sure an S3 with a full Milltek system would be quieter than your bike..
bowfer said:I can't be ***** looking up the relevant noise regulations.
The point is,if I were reported for noise,my bike is 100% legal.
I doubt Milltek exhausts display the appropriate BSAU/EU stamps,so if I were to report 'you' for excessive noise,you would face the hassle of having to put the standard exhaust back on and take it to a testing station to prove it.
You would also face a fine.
With specific reference to your car,you are probably breaking two laws.
1/Noise
2/No cat
Well done for having an illegal car,I'm sure it makes you very proud.
I consider illegal exhaust noise,car or bike (but cars are more prolific),a massive social problem at the moment.
Quite honestly,thank feck you don't live near me.
You should be grateful too,as I would report you in a flash.
The thing that gets me is that you probably consider yourself 'better' than the chavved up Corsa down the road.
I don't see the difference myself,you're both noisy twits to me.
Sorry to go on,but noisy exhausts do my fecking head in....

You just come across on here as a bit uptight. Maybe I'm wrong. Sorry.bowfer said:And where do you get the impression I'm not chilled ?
Merely discussing the current obsession with louder than standard,and therefore illegal,exhausts,espeicially on a brand that used to be above this sort of thing.
I'm afraid I used to enjoy illegal exhausts,20 years ago.
Until I realised I was being an attention seeking fool.
I was able to recognise that and do something about it though.
CJP80 said:Let me say one thing. I'd hate my exhaust to sound like it was bolted on in a Halfords car park. The reason I have chosen to get a Milltek is for the perfromance gain, not a boomy exhaust note, hence the reason I have chosen an emissions legal resonated variant.

Can I also point out that a motorbike, whether legal or not will always be louder than my car. Using the logic you apply, if an exhaust is certified road legal then you're happy with it yes?
If everyone in your street owned a Gallardo or a some other exotica then I'm sure you'd have no complaints about the noise levels! Or would you be campaining for a ban on Supercars?
siu00adg said:Also, I wouldn't report someone to the police for something as trivial as a loud exhaust, forgive me for saying but thats a bit anal, and IMO a waste of police time.
siu00adg said:I'm sorry, what!?
bowfer said:If you run an illegal exhaust,you only have yourselves to blame for either being reported now,or for being part of a wider problem that eventually leads to draconian measures for all.
I'm sorry,but it really is this simple.
Just as you don't have the right to open your house windows and impose your music choice on other people,you don't have the right to impose your 'fruity' exhaust note on others.
Just grow up and go about your business quietly,for the love of god.
Are you kidding?bowfer said:Firstly,where is your proof that a road legal bike is louder than a road legal car ?
Ok, but a road legal Ferrari on full throttle is going to sound louder than any boy racer buggy!bowfer said:If you stay near a dual carriageway,for example,it's tyre noise you'll hear.
If a car has a legal exhaust,I can have no complaint.
Perhaps its the attitude of the inconsiderate driver that causes the excessive noise?bowfer said:Down my street,I have a Maserati something-or-other,several Porsche 911's,a Porsche Cayenne,several big Mercs and a BMW M6.
None of them are anywhere near as annoying as a car with an aftermarket exhaust.
Perhaps its the attitude of the inconsiderate driver that causes the excessive noise?
siu00adg said:Who said I have ever run an illegal exhaust? I haven't, not once. You're the one who has fitted illegal loud exhausts (and even worse than that, to a motorcycle), so isn't it you that is to blame?
madalex said:****** pethetic , people need to live there own lives , not try and make people unhappy like them selves , If you want an s3 sounding like an Enzo so be it ,
bowfer said:Whilst I agree with you in principal,you don't have the right to impose your choice on other people.
Do you want your neighbours blaring out music all hours ?
No,which is why we have anti-social noise laws.
Illegal exhausts are being looked at more and more closely by councils and the government.
It's such a completely pointless and incredibly selfish thing to do,IMO.
Enjoy them while you can though eh ?
