New York rolling out noise law, listening tech for souped-up speedsters

I live close to a park where bbq parties go rampant on weekends. They are annoying and loud for sure and it also makes my trip to the playground with my toddler pain. I totally agree with that. Still that does not affect us in the same way these bikers and cars do in our neighborhood. These people want to scare people. That's their primary goal. They enjoy seeing people jump and start.

I can assure you, the amount of money a modified exhaust costs there’s easier ways to scare people and get them to jump. Open / minimal back pressure exhausts are done for the (minor in a non boosted car) performance gains. Not to scare people.

Not sure what kind of performance you are expecting in residential pedestrian streets. I've seen plenty of customs go WOT through a 25mph zone. No other reason to do that except piss people off.

Indeed they're not trying to scare people. But they are also not trying for some ridiculous performance gain. They are trying to be obnoxious.
