It doesnt have a noise ordinance. Its in the same township i live in. Im not going to use it on that road any more. Cuz i park my truck at my house. I dont need her calling the township and bithcing. Next thing you know they will be trying to kick my truck out. So im just going to try and keep the peace.

Mack Straight Pipe Jake brake - YouTube

Are you sure she said "Jake Brake".......and not tranny????? Add some butter to those gears!!


All kidding aside young man.....PA does have a noise ordinance, so it applies on every road. If I remember right it is 95 db's at 100 feet. Long time since I had that conversation with a LEO. That 6" pipe amplifies the db's.....so you are right to try and make her happy.....but the Hag is gonna complain about something else in a few weeks.
