Guide to Modified Exhaust Systems: A Reference for Law Enforcement
Officers and Motor Vehicle Inspectors is a slim, portable manual for
law enforcement officials, motor vehicle inspectors, prosecutors, and
legislators, as well as all citizens who desire peace and quiet.
Excessive noise is a major public health issue. High noise levels are
associated with hearing loss, heart disease, sleep deprivation, chronic
fatigue, ringing of the ears, and aggressive behavior. Loud noise also
damages communities, reduces property values, and denies individuals the
right to peacefully enjoy their own home and property.
One of the major sources of excessive and unnecessary noise is from
motorcycles equipped with modified exhaust systems. By definition, a
modified exhaust is not of the type installed at the time of
manufacture, does not meet the manufacturer's specifications, does not
comply with manufacturing regulatory standards, and is the root cause of
excessively loud vehicles.
Guide to Modified Exhaust Systems: A Reference for Law Enforcement
Officers and Motor Vehicle Inspectors concisely provides law
enforcement personnel and regular citizens the tools they need to fight
back against excessive vehicle noise levels. The book includes numerous
color photographs to make it easy to visually identify the illegal
equipment installed on some motorcycles that is responsible for the
great majority of nuisance noise levels.
