The Harley crowd comes to mind. Plenty of laws coming out in the States dealing with this issue. California is tightening up, you don't have the factory embossment you get a ticket if the LEO is so inclined. Some of the aftermarket cans for the sport bike crowd are nasty loud. Even my OEM 2015 BMW S1000R bike silencer is the loudest BMW has ever made and it is stock. I see gasoline motorcycles a thing of the past in 15 years.

Have you heard a new Mustang lately? Or a hot rod Mercedes or Audi? Those things are cracking off some loud exhausts now too. I'm all for it, they just sing at speed and gear changes, up and down.

Keep the fuel burners alive!!
