New exhaust noise rules

[The Stranger:Me]

The good thing (for me) is:

When it comes to boiracercars I can stick a green sticker on their windscreen because I believe the zorst noise is "louder than the vehicle originally was from the factory"

Hoo-haa!!

A couple of questions please.

You can harass innocent law abiding citizens (yes some do exist Scummy) simply because the exhaust is non factory, even if it is not loud?
I'm thinking for example a mellow big bore on a Holden. Actually knowing your affliction that's a bad example, but you get what I mean.

What is the effect of a green sticker?

I have a noise meter - a Dick Smith one, whcih I have checked against the calibrated one of the fire alarm certifiers.
IMO, 100db/500mm from the pipe at 45 deg is going to nail a lot of bikes, including OEM exhausts of older bikes.
IMO the testing procedure should be a % of redline or similar. My K100 redlines aroudn 7500rpm, a CBR350 os 22k - both 4 cylinders that shoudl be tested at 4500rpm.
Must test mine

Would you pull me over if you thought my Harley was too loud?

Ah what a lot of moans!

A cop is picking on you after pulling you over? - why did you get pulled over? I have personally found when they are doing a bike blitz and checking 'papers' unless your bike looks or sounds like a piece of shit they do not look any further than the paperwork.

Bastards - now I feel like an old fart.

Half the times I've been 'pulled over' I wasn't even moving to start with, they just decided they should check me over. The time inbetween those (all within 1 week I should add) I was out seeing if I had fixed the miss that my car had, when I got pulled over and accused of setting fire to a car, merely because I have an old Commodore.

Just had my Vmax complied just over a week ago , it flew thru but said there wasnt much in it (stock twin exhausts ) they said its more just targeting the modded ones .

Got a WoF for the Vriago on Friday, from a VTNZ type place. It's non standard zorst , two into one (though only a biker would realise) and fairly loud, subjectively. Not that absurd Hardley loud, but loudish. Though deep note. tester didn't even look at it, all good.
