Worse than motorcycles are cars with a "pop and bang tune". I can hear these things literally for miles, and they run all day and all night. It's extremely annoying.

Here's an example of what I mean:

Somehow the police do almost nothing about this stuff (except what NY is apparently going to do), but the federal government has the time to force tesla to remove the "make fart noise after horn" option from my car.




The only reason to get a mod like that is because you're a psychopath that likes to piss people off for entertainment.

Pop and bang tunes sound like utter shit. They make your car sound broken, and offer zero performance benefit.


Unfortunately I’ve spotted at least one of these in NYC driven by a city firefighter. So no chance of enforcement for at least that guy and his stupid exhaust.


The proper term is "fart cars". That's what we refer to them as in NYC.


Ugh, the comments on that video make me angry. Should never read the comments. Effing sociopaths.
