I think its mostly targeted at motorcycles
The Harleys with the loud ass exhausts are really annoying though especially if there just ripping it down robson 
Its all cool if you're on the highway but not on heavily condensed streets please

Still hear no Harley riders getting ticketed for this.
I know a ton of people in the motorcycle world and no ones getting pulled for there exhausts.
It used to be very common with cars back in the day and that was when it was mostly just big fart cans, now I see all these straight piped POS's rolling around without getting hassled.

This does seem a little unfair though, sports cars can get away with it because they can claim its a sports car and ofcourse it will be loud.
Meanwhile, everyone else is free game for the most part.

Did they always give out points? I have no problems with the fine, but giving out 3 points seems kind of excessive.

lol good luck with that, many high performance motorcycle's stock exhausts are easily over 100 decibels.

I got pulled over and had an officer us a DB meter on me. Had me rev to a certain RPM while he took a reading. Luckily the Turbo quieted down the tone at lower RPM's.
I asked the officer if we could check his bike after and he politely declined.
Berz out.

I agree, for the most part these types of laws are stupid, but for a select few, they NEED to be stopped. I don't mind loud pipes on bikes because it makes other road users more aware of them. They are smaller, move faster and are often missed by cagers. In this instance, I think a loud exhaust for a bike is a good thing. When its 2am and you are blasting around a residential area for fun.....go eat a bag of dicks.
As for the straight piped cars......please stop!! It sounds hideous 99.9% of the time and there is no time where it is a reasonable amount of noise.
I don't deal with much noise pollution where I live so its not something that I think about, but there are some who need to be told to, legally, STFU.

My buddy just got a ticket for this last week in Surrey. He drives a clean Em1 civic. I still think there are way louder stock domestic cars that get away with it.

And if we end up deaf we won't be able to hear anyones bike.

Got a ticket with my Civic years ago. I'm o.k. with the law. A bunch of bikers where complaining because Nanaimo RCMP actually enforces the law. Bikers claim police discriminate checking for noisy motorcycles
