the places with lots of people do not allow you to do this.

for example, california has CARB regulations which prevent many engine modifications unless they are certified. it can’t be too loud, etc.

my local racetrack (laguna seca) even has strict regulations for sound (90db)

despite that, car noise regulations don’t seem to be very enforceable, if my LA neighborhood that the fast and furious crowd like to growl and peel out through is any indication. there are skid marks (plus pollution) and occasionally wrecked parked cars left as a result (there’s one now that’s completely totaled).

i’d be up for legalizing the throwing of eggs at them as a reasonable level of retaliation. =D

Until you hit their windshield and they hit somebody because they can't see due to your egg...

yes, that was said facetiously if it wasn't obvious from the =D at the end. just my sweet little revenge fantasy. =)

yeah, definitely selective enforcement happening. i have a neighbor with a modified exhaust that is insanely loud.
