I came across a post today from one of those influencers I usually follow this time lecturing about modified exhausts, which, let’s be honest, is just a polite way of saying “making your car obnoxiously loud.”
He brought up Germany as the gold standard: first time you get stopped, you’re warned; second time, they take your car. Clean, efficient, very German. And yes, he has a point especially when you compare it to places where enforcement is a joke and the usual “connected” crowd can drive around with exhausts that sound like a Glock pistol having a nervous breakdown, blasting through the streets and annoying everyone within a kilometer.
Now, let’s not pretend this is some public health crisis nobody’s dropping dead because of a loud exhaust. It’s irritating, sure, but survivable. Personally, I’d argue for a bit more freedom. When you stop obsessing over something, it tends to fade out on its own. Trends die faster when you don’t feed them with constant outrage.
That said, maybe don’t let it sound like a nuclear test every time someone touches the accelerator. There’s a line.
And honestly, there’s an upside: it’s a remarkably efficient way to identify idiots from a distance.
