A city council member said he only had problems with four-cylinder cars with aftermarket exhaust systems. To be fair, these are particularly shroud and ridiculous, but the stricter regulations will also apply to the V8, so its comment really doesn`t mean anything at the end. Ontario has come a long way since horse-drawn vehicles (although the Highway Traffic Act still includes laws about them). Cars have powerful engines that can accelerate the vehicle quickly, causing the tires to squeak or smoke. Vehicles produce exhaust gases that need to be regulated, and they can also make necessary or unwanted noise. While much of this may seem like common sense and basic general courtesy to other drivers and pedestrians, so is the law. Counsel. Chris Mayne, detached from Coun. Mark King will support and support the Town of Ajax`s motion to set a maximum number of decibels for Ontario`s exhaust systems at the regular North Bay City Council meeting on Tuesday. In addition, Belleville will send the same letter to Ontario leaders to other communities in the province. It is a way to gain support because Ontario is apparently trying to become the California of Canada. I don`t think they`ve heard that people have a hard time finding a U-haul available to get out of this state, because cracking down on aftermarket exhaust systems instead of focusing on the real problems is a wonderful strategy for any government.
There are probably other ways to deal with the shrill exhaust noises of the Honda Civic and Hyundai Veloster aftermarket. Has anyone thought about social shame and ridicule? Yes. There are two exceptions to the muffler or smoke laws under section 75 (2) of the Road Traffic Act: Coun. Tyler Allsopp agreed, adding that “standard exhaust systems reach over 80 decibels” and said he would support the letter if it only applied to aftermarket mufflers and not to new high-performance cars that stand out with noisier exhaust systems. Ontario`s exhaust noise laws are fairly straightforward. To make sure everyone knows the rules, it`s important to have a good understanding of what an exhaust muffler is and what it does.

The quiet streets of Belleville are disrupted by deafening exhaust systems and complaints are piling up at City Hall, City Council learned Monday.
The argument usually revolves around the fact that if you don`t have a super noisy exhaust, it shouldn`t affect you. Yes, that may be true, but as governments pass increasingly stringent regulations and laws, people quickly realize that bureaucratic stealth has won over the rights they truly cherish.

If your motorized bicycle is powered entirely by electricity, you don`t have to worry about the laws under Article 75(1) of the ETS. The other exception applies to motor vehicles that run exclusively on electricity.
These electric vehicles are also exempt from section 75(1) of the Road Traffic Act. An exhaust muffler is basically a metal plate or set of plates located under the body of your car. The other end of the muffler is attached to the engine`s exhaust system, which circulates the gases twice – first into the engine, then into the muffler before it exits through the exhaust pipe. That means you have two chances of burning all those nasty gases out of your car, so you don`t have to worry about shooting anything that hurts anything again. “It`s another animal, it`s almost exclusively four-cylinder imports. I think someone has seen too much of Fast and the Furious and thinks if they put a can of coffee on their exhaust instead of their muffler, they think it goes faster,” he said. So that you don`t think I`m not interested in noise where I live, I do. As Mayor Panciuk pointed out, most of the noise comes from drivers running their engines, burnout at intersections, etc. Surely there are already laws against such behaviour on public roads, so why not enforce them instead of multiplying regulations for everyone? Speaking of California, it`s actually more liberal when it comes to exhaust noise than Belleville executives want. In California, 95 dbA is the legal limit, drivers of high-performance cars using factory exhausts would be cited for violating the law.
