Los Angeles is the Holy land for car culture. Where enthusiasm, sun, and money combine to bring you the greatest vehicle collection in the world. If you wanted to experience the pinnacle of that, it was hard to find a better location than Beverly Hills. Until now, that is, because the local police are going after loud exhausts the way car spotters go after the latest on Rodeo Drive. In Beverly Hills, The Only Allowable Noises Are From Lawncare And Camera Shutters Yesterday, the Beverly Hills Police Department posted some very bad news for drivers of loud cars both new and old, expensive and cheap. It said that the force's officers had just gotten "loud exhaust enforcement training" from a company called PipeDown Solutions.The company has a great name, but if you're a fan of loud exhausts you're not going to like the results. Its job is to train officers on how to properly measure vehicle exhaust loudness in a way that will meet the goals of noise laws but also to hold up in court. In other words, it is designed to help officers write more tickets and to make sure those tickets stick.BHPD went to Facebook to promote its new training, along with some of the first to get ticketed. Yes, that's a yellow Porsche Carrera GT showing 106 dB and probably about to get a ticket. The cops also showed an Audi R8, a C8 Corvette, and a Harley Davidson getting measured and then getting tickets.The force said that the reactions were generally positive. "As the testing equipment was being set up, we had several community members stop and ask what was going on. Once they heard it was loud exhaust enforcement, the reactions were pretty consistent: 'Finally' and 'About time.'" Expect More LA-Area Noise Tickets De Tomaso BHPD said this is the first time that the training has been implemented in Southern California. It's already commonly used in most of the San Francisco Bay Area and other parts of the state. Now that it's in Beverly Hills, it probably won't take long for other forces in LA to take note and start training and ticketing of their own.California law limits cars to 95 dB(A), measured with some very specific methods that include angles, distances, and even running the engine at "three-quarters of maximum RPM." The limit for motorcycles is much lower. There are exceptions for stock exhausts, though, because they should have met applicable noise rules when they were built, otherwise the initial sale would be against the law.Commenters on the force's Facebook post point out that the Harley appears to have a factory stock exhaust, and if that's the case, then this ticket could be dismissed in court. But that won't stop the owner from having to take their ticket to a state referee to prove that the exhaust system is stock and then make a court appearance to try and have the ticket dismissed.It's a situation that brings to mind the Hyundai Elantra N owner in Riverside, California, who had their car banned from the road. Despite it having a stock exhaust system. We're used to seeing cheap and old cars with loud exhausts getting attention from law enforcement. Seeing a seven-figure car get the same treatment is definitely new.
