Meanwhile I’m getting pulled over multiple times for my loud exhaust because my muffler fell off and I don’t have the money to fix it.

Then the cop pulling me over has to stop talking as a motorcycle drives by so loud he can’t even hear himself.

Yes you’re right fuck poor people how dare they have bills to pay.

Oh and btw my muffler only broke because I was delivering pizzas on shitty side streets. So maybe the problem is cities should maybe fix their roads?

Is car owned by you or by company? If first, bill your delivery company. If last, it’s company’s headache.

EDIT: Downvotes? FYI in some countries with strong labour laws if employer requires something and does not provide it, then if employee spends money on it, said money should be compensated by employer.

If the road can’t handle you at your worst then it doesn’t deserve you at your best.

That’s because the law wasn’t made because rich assholes, but because broken exhausts, wether by design or by negligence, are a god damn nuisance.

And yet the people who’s cars are loud by design are largely ignored because fuck the poor.

“Hey I see your muffler is broken”

“Yeah I don’t have the money to fix it”

“Well now you’ll have even less money, here’s your $150 ticket”

Compared to straight pipe, you would have a short pipe. Being so much closer to the engine, you’d get more noise. Even straight pipe dampens the noise a bit.

In Germany its usually the fast cars that get pulled over for being too loud, my exhaust pipe on my old car was completely rusted through and I drove through a police check where they pull everyone over.

They didnt say anything regarding the exhaust.

I replaced it before the next inspection, because I would have never passed with it rusted through.
