But I would have to agree Rich, would my chambered exhaust system be legal on a new car today?

Well, a legal precedent has now been set, so quite likely this issue will find itself being decided in the courtroom.

Of course, exactly what ARE the limits on the definitions of what makes "free speech" and the "freedom of expression"? This could be quite a cat that has gotten out of the bag.

hmmmm? takng this to the extreme, wonder if open carry could just be "freedom of expression".

In some states, this issue has been determined with specific weight given to "cultural freedom of expression". Which takes it way beyond, free speech.

I'm certain that some will find my view too conservative, however, in my opinion, the courts will do everything they can to provide the most flexibility possible, to these offensively loud sound systems.

Why, simple....if a police officer, (and the courts), have to deal with some elderly person who's complaining they can't sleep, because of the loud music outside in the street, or have to deal with the person who is playing that loud music, (most often a minority), which way do you think they'll go.

I can gaurantee that if your exhaust system is "too loud", (entirely subjective police officer's opinion), you're getting a summons....period! Your love of car sounds culture doesn't count.
