Loud Exhausts Are Illegal But Rarely Enforced | Portland News
Description
Blasted by a car louder than a jet? In Oregon, that’s illegal—exhausts over 88 decibels land you a Class C ticket. But don’t hold your breath for cops to enforce it: departments are too busy with emergencies. While DEQ won’t test volume directly, removing mufflers or cats will fail emissions checks. Some say loud pipes are part of car culture, but most of us grow out of needing to deafen the neighborhood. The law’s on the books, but enforcement? Not happening anytime soon.
