very loud exhaust - the law?

[ritch]

Whats the law regarding very loud exhausts? not sports exhausts, but straight through unbaffled stupid loud?

I'm getting somewhat annoyed with a idiot in a supra with a very very loud exhaust ripping it up a private residential street every morning at 5.30am every morning to pick up his mate.

would prefer to know the legalities around loud exhausts / anti social behaviour regarding cars etc to see what the police can do? - if anything before anything else...

Look, not everyone who drives a Supra with the silencer removed is an antisocial git who likes to make sure everyone hears him coming no matter what the hour - but I am!
If anyone asks, it was like that when I bought it. And as far as I know, that's how it's supposed to be.

well done!

There have been many posts discussing this. The Search function is your friend. Try: Noise limit for road cars one of several found using "exhaust" as the keyword – Streaky

Thanks – thats great info. Apologies for not thinking about search – I'll blame the lack of sleep.

I suggest adapting Motorrad's approach to dealing with another noisy driver...

Like the idea, but not keen on being punched in face!
