PA exhaust legislation bill = BAD JU-JU!!!

sidriptide

nobody of any consequence
Hey everyone... pass this on to any lists or boards that you frequent. Get
it into PA residents hands.... Instead of looking at what most of these
aftermarket exhausts can do for fuel economy, etc, they look to just entirely ban aftermarket cuz of noise of just a few of the bad ones... or people that alter the aftermarket ones to sound even worse...
Quite often, these seemingly ridiculous bills get introduced so that a leaner
bill can make it through later....

URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT

Pennsylvania Reintroduces Bill to Ban the Use of Aftermarket Exhaust
Systems

Legislation (H.B. 1330) that would effectively prohibit the use of exhaust
systems other than a "factory-installed muffler” or a “muffler meeting
factory specifications" has been reintroduced in the Pennsylvania State
House of Representatives by Representative Michael K. Hanna (Phone:
717/772-2283, Fax: 717/787-4137). The bill has been referred to the
House Transportation Committee.

Contact Rep. Hanna and Members of the Pennsylvania House
Transportation Committee (List Below) Immediately to Request Their
Opposition to H.B. 1330

· H.B. 1330 ignores the fact that aftermarket exhaust systems are
designed to make vehicles run more efficiently without increasing
emissions.

· H.B. 1330 fails to recognize that aftermarket exhaust systems offer
increased performance and utility.

· H.B. 1330 would make it nearly impossible for hobbyists to replace
factory exhaust systems with more durable, better performing options.

· H.B. 1330 perpetuates the erroneous assumption that enthusiasts who
equip their vehicles with modified exhaust systems are involved in illegal
street racing.

Call or Fax the members of the House Transportation Committee in
Harrisburg (See List Below) today to oppose this legislation. This bill
unfairly tramples on the rights of vehicle enthusiasts in Pennsylvania.

x2 on the fart cans....we should start a petition

that's likely how this bill got started... someone didnt like something and they got the ball rolling to change it.. the problem is that there are always people who want to "add" something to it.. and the biger the bill is the better chance it has of getting at least part of it passed when they whack the stuff that wasnt the initial plan..
 
They've been trying to get a bill like that passed in Massachusetts for the last few years too. I never heard anything about it getting passed though. And I hope it never does.
