The Portland Maine City Council is considering a motorcycle noise ordinance. According to a news release on September 10th by ABC affiliate WMTW, the ordinance would enforce a federal law that all motorcycles made after Dec. 31, 1982, have mufflers with an EPA exhaust system label, certifying the mufflers meet EPA standards.
Any idea how this will impact my decision on pipes? I've been considering Rush slip-ons and their fine print states that mufflers may not meet EPA and/or CARB emmissions and noise guidelines.
I don't go to Portland very often but I'm a little concerned what the rest of the state will do if this ordinance passes.
