The exhaust rusted in half on my old truck and made it sound like it’s straight piped.
It was so fricken loud and I hated it. I don’t understand how people like loud exhausts

Nothing says ‘safety’ like turning your vehicle into a public announcement system.
Damn, I’m going to work hungry because I stuffed my breakfast banana in a car’s tailpipe.
um how to remove banana from tailpipe, not damage banana
Part of the problem is that half of the loud vehicles in my area are just broken. It costs money to replace broken exhaust but it's free to leave it loud, unfortunately.
Also, many places have noise ordinances that are probably just not enforced. One in my local area is based off complaints so people would need to call and lodge one before enforcement has the chance to happen.
Then it says the police will investigate. A good joke, certainly.
Umm, it’s really just erasing a muffler
If the police confiscated loud cars/motorbikes, the offenders would have to make do wearing sandwich boards reading “MY DICK IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!!!”
Damn, some people like cars.
D-Bag: (Revs overly loud Honda)
Hot lady: I dare say I wish to mate with this fellow.
SITUATION WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED.
Somehow this reads like it was said by T-Rex of Dinosaur Comics (qwantz.com)
Edit: this was not a criticism, I now wish to mate with you
Fuck your Honda Civic, I've a horse outside.
don't need no tax!
According to The Fast and the Furious, it happens. ALL. THE. TIME.

Fun trivia:
Volvo, for a time, sold 60-degree, Yamaha V8s in their XC90:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_B8444S_engine
Engine geometry essentially determines sound, and a 60 degree V8 is very rare. Hence it gave what was supposed to be a safe, boring SUV a hilariously burbly pipe:

And that’s cool. It’s neat, and exotic; the engine earned that noise.
During the 90's you could get this beauty with a tiny 3.4l 60deg Yamaha V8.
Unfortunately the exhaust note was the only redeeming quality. The car and engine both were junk.
Just last week I saw an SUV with the sticker "SLOW AND LOUD" across their entire rear windshield. And indeed, they revved their loud exhaust while waiting at a stoplight.
It's now becoming a meme in my friend group to call idiots "slow and loud." It's honestly really fitting

Cheaper option? Disconnects exhaust manifold
And bonus, if you add some speed holes you can see the flames pop out the bonnet too!
inb4 the “loud pipes save lives” folks.
I ride motorcycle and I always love that argument. I have stock pipes on my bike and I prefer them to be as quiet as possible so that I hear as much of the road as possible, as well as other vehicles.
Yes loud motorcycles do make others aware of your presence ... especially if they are very loud pipes.
What no one ever wants to admit is that you usually hear the loud pipes AFTER the bike/vehicle has passed you or is moving away. You seldom hear a loud motorcycle coming at you, especially if you are in a car with sound proofing or sound dampening. You definitely hear the big loud motorcycle pipes as the idiot is driving away from you.
The other thing I love about morons that enjoy big loud motorcycle pipes is that they are the same idiots that want an open air sound system for their motorcycle. So they get the loud pipes and then get a really powerful sound system so that they can listen to their muffled music over the sound of loud pipes, the highway and the buffeting winds as they drive down the highway. Usually, these are the same idiots that lose their hearing by the time they're 50.
And fuck us cyclists... We get run over AND lose our hearing because we're not protected by 1ton of soundproofed metal.
And if that logic was true, we would already have a problem worse than the yank tank issue, where the cars get bigger and bigger for "protection". Every vehicle would get louder and louder to be heard above the other loud vehicles, and eventually living in a city would mean enjoying the non stop sound of atomic bombs exploding everywhere 100 times per second per car.
But unlike the yank tank issue, everyone would be deaf, and then the noise wouldn't matter anymore. I guess that's the best case scenario that those kinds of sadists hope for. They can't hear anymore, so they want everyone else to be deaf as well.
The other thing those people fail to mention is that loud noises are disorienting, and the one thing you want when you sandwich yourself between a couple of 2 tons pieces of metal moving at 110 km/h is to disorient everybody and make them unable to move in straight lines.
The same applies to very bright lights.
shhh don't tell the headlight lobby that these new blinding LED headlights are actually less safe because they blind oncoming drivers coming at you at 100km/h four feet away on a narrow turning road
The yellow headlights are excellent for not blinding everyone infront of you, unfortunately I think they're illegal in most countries.
better than white, but I've seen bright enough yellow LEDs to still be blinding lol
we need better regulation and enforcement

I wonder how much specifically traffic noise contributes to premature deaths compared to noise pollution in general.
I'm betting it's most of it haha

This is my fucking neighbor who leaves his loud ass truck sit running in his driveway for a FUCKING HOUR! He does this every morning and every night. And randomly during the day.
I call bullshit! Not one of those assholes who feel they didn't get enough attention as a child, and so want to force the world to give it to them now would ever be so kind as to ask nicely using "please."
