My M5, with a valved exhaust, wails under load, and it's legal.

Super frustrating, and I will win the current dispute, I just don't want to keep doing court on stuff like this - it is counter productive.

i say, **** greta thunberg, and fight the power.

The cops here use these laws for the gangbangers that hang out at clubs at night, rev their engines and mostly drive Subarus and Honda's. To my knowledge they don't mess with Porches and don't mess with middle aged guys.

I used to have muffler bypass with 200 cel cats on my 993 turbo (listen to video below). My neighbors used to love the sound and called it the growling beast, but complained about the racing brakes squeeling. It sounded great but I don't require such a loud car anymore.

( or used to ).

= and you're right when you say that "they use" these laws.

I am not an anarchist, I do try to be PC, and I know that the line is not clear, at least in BC.

I fight on principle; I work in a world where quantifiable data drives decisions. If they got me in that way, I would accept defeat.

They didn't, so we fight.
