Thank you very much!!! Someone who actually read the law instead of posting knee-jerk reactions.

It ain't gonna affect the aftermarketers any either. Leo Vince and a host of other aftermarket exhaust companies already put out Euro stamped compliance exhausts. All they have to do is revise their tooling to stamp USDOT compliance stamp on the exhausts as well. You take the shit home, yank out the dB-killer inserts just like you do now. Done. Finito. End of story.

It was a stupid law that really means nothing. If anything, it allows people with aftermarket pipes to run the shit loud. "Hey, officer, here's the stamp showing that it's DOT noise compliant. I don't know why it's loud."

How many cops would know about dB-killer inserts?

Right now cops can bust you with fix-it tickets for just having non-factory pipes.

If your exhaust is really loud do you really think a fake label is going to stop them from writing a ticket?

And fewer new riders are going to be interested in becoming riders after 2013, if they know bikes can't be modified. Unless they want to keep buying old bikes.
True...but only for a year or two. And most people aren't going to know the law anyway.

People now can be ticketed for aftermarket exhaust so in reality there is no difference other than the cops can pull you over to check for a correct label.

Your missing the point Hans. The reason this law is bad is because NOW cops can simply pull you over to CHECK for the label. They can already pull you over for loud exhaust, so the MY is not relevant.

They could have done that before too , if they suspected it was aftermarket. They just rarely ever did it.
