Here's the web page of the current Senator's that will be voting on this. Pick some out close to you and fax them a letter voicing your feelings.

Myself, I feel this bill could violate my freedom by not outlining any guidelines to the decibel output and basing violations solely on visual observance. Under its current verbiage, I can put an aftermarket 4" chrome tip on the Midas OEM exhaust on my VW Fox and get ticketed! Further, HB2221 doesn't address any other forms of transportation. I've often heard motorcycles make much more noise than any car away from a race track! How about "jake-brakes" on 18 wheelers? Those aren't factory but they make an awful noise when they're used on the off ramps near residential areas. Where are the boundaries? This sounds like a reaction of a lower legislator who's neighbor's kid just installed an aftermarket system on their BMW or Lancer and works nights; the peace of the few over the good of the many??? I don't understand!
I fear this bill will make criminals out of true enthusiasts and drive a portion of our next generation away from the automotive hobby and possibly into much more damaging outlets of their youthful energy.
I think that’s what I’m putting in my letter as I fax it to a half dozen or so Senators listed on that page.

Great, I'm getting exhaust work done this week. Oh well I guess. The tips prolly won't look too aftermarket-ish. Dunno if that's a word. I'm guessing this is mainly aimed towards all the annoying rice burners with their annoying exhausts and their huge fart cans. If this actually passes we'll never be able to find mustangs to race since they'll be too loud. Or all the congressmen have Evo's and are scared of their cars stalling when they try to race loud cars. lol.
Well then we all need to take a drive and park in front of the idiot that decided to pursue this. I say we all go over his place at night and rev our engines for hours!!!! :lolsign: :lolsign: Did I hear roadtrip?? I think this guy is just jealous that his EVO doesn't sound like our Grand Prix's. :lolsign:
