OR Introduces Bill to Ban the Sale of Aftermarket Exhaust!
http://www.streetrodderweb.com/hotne...ems/index.html
A bill (H.B. 3214) to ban the sale of certain new motor vehicle exhaust systems or exhaust system components that cause motor vehicles to produce noise that exceeds noise limits has been introduced by Oregon State Representative Phil Barnhart (rep.philbarnhart@state.or.us). Under the bill, noise limits would be specified in rules adopted by the Environmental Quality Commission (DEQ). However, in 1991 the DEQ terminated its noise control program. The bill has not yet been assigned to a committee for consideration DON'T DELAY! Please contact Oregon State Representative Phil Barnhart immediately by phone or e-mail to request that he withdraw H.B. 3214. Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org. Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts. Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance. Representative Phil Barnhart rep.philbarnhart@state.or.us Capitol Phone: 503-986-1411

In WA it's illegal to modify an exhaust to where it's louder than stock. A lot of people aren't aware of this because it's not enforced often. It's legal to sell however...so maybe no one will enforce it.
(3) No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the engine of such vehicle above that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the vehicle, and it shall be unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle not equipped as required by this subsection, or which has been amplified as prohibited by this subsection. A court may dismiss an infraction notice for a violation of this subsection if there is reasonable grounds to believe that the vehicle was not operated in violation of this subsection.

Your emissions laws suck...like when you buy a motorcycle in CA many are detuned, like a yamaha R6 at least when I owned mine had less power for models sold in CA.

I will second that motion, lived in SF and SD for 2 years. I'm surprised they don't make you wear diapers down there yet.
