I don't know why you keep trying to drag SEMA into this. I never said anything about SEMA. I've got no gripe with people who drive legal. But there are too many who say "Fck the law. I'll do as I please, and fck you if you don't like it."
One obvious reason for SEMA to support SB1420 is to put some distance between themselves and these deliberate outlaws. If they don't, they're doomed. They can read the writing on the wall as well as anyone else. As violations become more and more flagrant, people are going to demand stronger enforcement. If they don't get it, they may start resorting to vigilantism.
And if you'd read the original article that's exactly what the Flowmaster rep was talking about. Those that refuse to stay under 95 db are on their own. And that's acceptable.
LOL!! I have to admit that's pretty funny. Look, the people that drive V8s drive them for a reason. Not everyone wants a whisper quiet Hamstermobile that takes 45 minutes and 30 miles to get to 90 mph. For those that do, great!! But it's not for me. 95 db is not loud at all
