Ricers and fart pipes

In NSW (pretty sure it would be similar for other states), there are different noise limits for different types of vehicles. I.e. cars have a different limit to bikes which are different to trucks etc. Bikes are legally allowed to be louder than cars. Which is pretty stupid I reckon, cos noise is noise, no matter where it's coming from!

well for one thing its easier to fit more mufflers onto a car than a bike

My mate has a skyline with large exhaust, he tries to set car alarms off. He keeps a running total while driving through the carpark at uni (i know, what a ********)

90db seems pretty loud, i mean, the new HSV is limited to 74db for the ADR test (which is driveby), so at idle it should be quiet as all hell. Imagine a 90db car at idle, you'd be deaf by the time you hit 60km/h
