Lets face it, this has got "sure fire money earner" written all over it, so it'll be here soon

Im going to be the little tw@t that sits with my exhaust right next to them, revving the nuts off my car when someone drives past

And every time a G-Wizz or Pious drives past, red line it just to make sure!

Absoltely, the smaller the hair dryer the more revvs it will recieve.

Oh great, so my side exits will give an even higher reading as they will be in the direct firing line.

Now wonder what would happen if, say, she was over fueling, and flames happened to appear and possibly damaged the reader

Not my fault obviously - dodgy Lambda sensor sir..

OK, this may sound weird but after 20 years here I have never heard of this newspaper, Think you may have fallen for a joke. Having said that I would not be surprised by the Nazis here.

There was me thinking we were approaching Christmas but obviously my calender is wrong. It's actually April 1st!

You need two things. A Crow scarer to provide the regular loud noise, and a piece of plywood with the words "bugger off and stop interfering" written on it. Position this in front of the camera and annoy the people that thought up this idiot scheme.

What if a lorry is heading in the opposite direction adding to the noise?

Thats a good point, how could they determine which vehicle is causing the noise if there are two going in opposite directions?

I agree its a crazy idea

To answer your question i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to develop some software that can identify individual noise sources. However as a counter a white noise emitter would also cancel that out [anyone more teckie pls correct me!]

I would be fairly screwed myself with this due to the performance exhaust, I like to think that my exhaust is a warning to school kids crossing the road etc... that way they can HEAR me coming, isnt that what that adverts all about on TV lately? Kids listening to stereos and not hearing cars as they go to cross the road?

So they would prefer more dead kids and quieter cars... oh and money!? Or have I missed the point?

Can someone please explain,

a) Why it's necessary or desirable to drive around with a stupidly loud exhaust

when

b) People seem to be getting orgasmic about the Tesla with no exhaust noise at all?

[dazsmith69]

go and chase some real criminals, thats just pathetic

Have you logged-on to the wrong forum?

Unfortunatly most 'tuning enthusiasts' put 'sports' exhausts on their cars/bikes as their first 'upgrade', despite the fact that they have no idea wether it actually improoves their stboxes' performance. It just sounds louder. This puts them clearly in the league of antisocial retards imho.

[otolith]

You have to keep in mind that this originates in a country which creates laws specifically outlawing "hooning":

If this deals with those little sts that put thoose ridiculous U-bend exausts on 49.999999cc scooters that make such a horrible noise, I wouldn't be against it.

[Fury1630]

They can put one ouside my house.
40 limit A-road & I'm really P'd off with being woken up at 2:00am by some eejit going past on thier bike doing 90 in 2nd.

Nothing against loud exhausts as such, but but how about keeping the revs down dring the wee small hours?

PS should these come to the UK, I'm going into the manufacture of side exit exhausts - on the off-side, just like my kit-car has!
