    Modified exhausts illegal now in Delhi!

    The public ad says that it is illegal to have no silencer or modified silencers in order to gain more sound. Now it remains to be seen how much is this implemented and how will the police decide whether the exhausts is for only show purposes and not done for serious performance upgrades (as per the deductive statement in the ad).

    In my city, Mysore, its already a punishable offense. My friend who had Joel's exhaust on his pulsar was caught, and fined for it. His bike was also impounded for a day. Its been under implementation here for quite a while now
    D'oh!

      So with Db Killer they don't have an issue right?

      Personally I hated such loud silencers and wished something like this would come up

          If they make this illegal in bangalore then, almost 50% of the autos would be off road.

            Again,not exactly.Autos have different rules :P when we were stopped and fined I asked the Cop why BULLETS weren't stopped since they are equally loud.His answer was "they are different".So i guess this Rule applies only to modern day vehicles.

              Exhausts with DB killer should not be a problem.

              Those who want plenty of sound should get a yezdi or jawa , they can blow eardrums .

                I doubt.Because even with a DB Killer the exhaust is going to be loud,just not as much as a regular FFE.and to a cop or any regular guy,it will still sound loud.

                Screw all those posers for this!

                    BTW is an after market exhaust a "Modified" one?"Modified Exhaust" should mean modifying the stock one right? :P

                      Is there any specified noise level limit (db)?

                      There wouldn't be for sure else all those ear shattering 2T autos & brain hammering diesels would be off the road. Hell! ever heard those bloody diesels autos they are approved by all those govt/ state depts !!

                        so can we dump the exhaust and put in a K&N?

                        it is not illegal to have an free flow filter?

                        Actually, even in pune the bikes sounding louder than normal are stopped. I was stoped once for having a free flow exhaust (the sound was of the free flow filter exhaust was stock). the person got confused and double checked the exhaust if it was an after market one. he even started the bike to proove that it was after market but couldnt. maybe he did not understand that its the filter thats making the noise, so i rode away without the fine.

                        but yes, the rule is implemented in pune.

                        of our members from mumbai gang had to remove a joel's free flow exhaust because mamu's used to catch him regularly.

                          Best thing to do with FFE's would be to ride slower in hot spots or ride next to an auto
                          P.S.- during peak hours even i cant hear the sound of my FFE. Doubt if cops will hear anything

                              Would like to correct. With the DB Killer it is not very loud. I swapped my Joeled FFE yesterday for a new FFE with the DB Killer by Joel. Though acceleration has come down a bit, but the overall performance is still better than the stock bike and the bike is more tractable.

                              The answer is NO, the FFE with DB Killer does not make loud noise. A bit louder than the Stock, but not loud enough to grab attention.
