Agreed. That sounds like needless legislation. Especially considering that there have been studies that show that "loud pipes DON'T save lives." The interior of modern cars are so soundproofed that most people won't hear those really loud motorcycles until they are right next to them. Same for many sirens I would wager.
More to do with the Doppler effect than anything dealing with sound deadening. You also don't point the pipes the direction your going .
Don't give those assholes any ideas.
Even if they did, it would work terribly.
