That may work to a point, people who get off on their noisy shits are more than willing to put in the work themselves.

Yep, 99% of the time that's the case around here. Live next to a well trafficked road and have heard enough to identify a modded exhaust. It's very rare that the loud assholes have stock exhausts, they usually put money into buying loud shit or just slice their old one off for good measure.

Also, even the modded exhausts wouldn't be so bad if the drivers didn't intentionally gun it just to make noise.

Then come the motorcycle groups, they're the absolute worst. Even one is bad, but when a group of 50 travel through here on a quiet day it's just.. sad, enraging etc.

They're the loudest we get around where I live, if ANYONE is breaking a noise ordinance it's them, 50× over but I've never seen them pulled over or ticketed.

I don't care if they're loud, go do that on a "back road" where the houses are an acre away, don't do it on a small street where babies are sleeping barely 20 feet away from you. At that volume, being that close they'd might as well knock on your door and scream in your face.
