Ontario is the worst... anything modified any you get a ticket. I needed a new can for 98 mach once it rotted out. Can wasn't any louder than stock. Buddy had a loud pipe and got our group pulled over. Modified exgaust ticket later...Every state is different.... Wisconsin is 88 decibels at 13.1 feet and that is at idle.
This was in Michigan last year when they were trail side and we were all checked. The piped Polaris in our group got a hefty fine...Think is was $250?

So if they pull you over in a car or truck and make you pop the hood - you get a ticket for not using stock spark plugs???Ontario is the worst... anything modified any you get a ticket.

I hear yah... total bs... don't see them yanking the straight pipes harley guys. Who am I disturbing the damn deer???So if they pull you over in a car or truck and make you pop the hood - you get a ticket for not using stock spark plugs???
IN USA this is called -----------violation of federal restraint of trade laws and is engaging in discriminatory and monopolistic actions
That's because Harley fights any regulation that will affect their noise level. They are organized and have very good lawyers and sound experts. These experts will help any club fight by doing legal sound tests using $100000+ equipment. When the town tried to shut our ride area down these sound experts proved we weren't making anymore noise outside our club property than the normal traffic on the road makes and this held up legally all the way to the WI State Supreme Court. I am not a Harley guy but I do have respect for them and what they did. Basically noise is objective and Decibles are facts. When I was a third shifter was a dang Mourning Dove that would sit out my window and really tick me off. Same thing. Now that said I do agree when the windows are shaking from loud pipes or the Bass Boomers at 3 in morning it's bull.Nothing chaps my #*$&@ more then the Harley guys that get a pass in WIS.. Nothing personal against bikes at all . But its bad here

I got one on my Viper it was an OSP can. Way too loud. Rode with it about 200 miles and sold it.4 strokes dont seem to get bothered much. Pretty much everyone in my riding group has a sled louder than stock. Only person to ever get a ticket was a few years ago, buddy was on an srx with a loud muffler. We even have a couple turbo cats with 3 inch exhausts in our group, no tickets the last 2 seasons. Only one cop mentioned about being louder than stock.
Awesome stuff thanks for the info on testing in WI. Thinking that can will pass easy..
They usually give a TINY bit of slack on them depending on the Warden.
Michigan does give some leeway for sure. At least from what I read and hear from others..
Kinda depends what your getting stopped for also(if you blow a stop sign or speed and or drive out of control)(AKA hot dogging it) - you better be UNDER for sure.
