Why After-market Exhausts matter?
Understanding the thin line between infuriation, pleasure, performance and consequential provocation is essential. Given that the after-market exhaust/silencer has its own pros and cons, aiding performance, cosmetic transition and sonorous notes of the exhaust. There should exist a medical line between the lawmakers and the citizens, letting the bikers reap the maximum benefit of getting an update while adhering to the protocols comprising relevant decibels(In India, the permitted noise level is up to 80DB).
While stock exhausts can be so boring-looking and dull sounding, they serve their purpose of efficiency below the line; in general, it does the job. If it does, then why would anybody need one? Not for all, but performance-improvement seekers definitely understand the significance of switching an exhaust. On replacing stock exhaust with after-market, one can expect noticeable performance upgrades, visual & aesthetic transitions, and lastly, the way it sounds.
Most of the time, automobile manufacturers, especially two-wheeler manufacturers, do not notice the dimensional errors which they deliver, which leads to unnoticeable constraints that later turn out to be hard to ignore. Hence, this also turns out to be a relevant and essential reason to opt for modification. Hence, legal exceptions have to be maintained for such certain occurrences, to which citizens can co-operate by pertaining to the limited sound levels.
