Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Modified exhausts to be banned in Ireland!

i think it's the manufacturers they need to target... not the consumers... and it should only effect the people whom have bought the product after a certain introductory date... anyone who had purchased their exhaust or wotever before that dont shouldnt be effected unless it really is excessively loud..

people who have bought their exhaust after the introductory date that are found to have over the allowed dB limit should be protected and it should therefore be the manufacturer to put it right

This is the reason why a blanket ban will be bought in if any; there are just far too many ifs and buts, a blanket ban is the simple answer to solve all the problems im afraid mate.

How the hell are the police going to prove someone bought an exhaust after a certain date??

Simple doesn't allways work. But neither does the law most of the time!

They'll ban crashes next as they make too much noise lol!

if u cant prove it, ie: u get given somethin similar to a producer where u get so long to prove payment, ie: via recept or bank statement or wotever.. if u cant prove it due to carelessness of ur receipts etc then that's ur problem if that makes sense?

while a blanket ban would just cut it all out, it would not be fair nor sensible... but then, the law is rarely either

I agree with the loudness thing, it does get a bit annoying. However, you can't silence a V8.

wot comes from a V8 is glorious, not noise

Lol, I was in a cemtrey (St Hilary's, Wallasey) before with someone visiting a grave, and it would have been lovely and peaceful but every few seconds all you could hear was muppets with loud exhausts driving around.

They really do cause an annoyance sometimes. She wanted a few quiet moments, and couldnt because of the exhausts flying around everywhere.

On the odd moment there wasnt any, it was very peaceful

will they not just do something like they have on bikes atm? my understanding is that with bike exhausts it has to be e-marked for it to be road legal. most bike exhausts have a removable baffle for track days ect..
