snoop1130 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Bt5m of loud 'substandard' exhaust pipes seized By Kornkamon Aksorndech The Nation Police have seized 650 allegedly substandard products worth Bt5 million following a search of seven factories manufacturing exhaust pipes for Big Bike high-powered motorcycles across Bangkok, Traffic Police Division chief Pol Colonel Nitithorn Jintakanon said on Friday. In response to complaints about Big Bikes' exhaust pipes making a lot of noise and disturbing the public, police set up checkpoints recently and rounded up 142 Big Bike motorcycles with noise levels exceeding 95 decibels, which is beyond the legal limit. The police investigation expanded to include checks on seven locations, he said, and officers seized 650 items from manufacturer Anon Kulsao and distributor Natthapol Doungpol. Police initially charged the former for manufacturing for sale the allegedly substandard products and the latter for distributing such products.

Really, these are the exhausts that should be removed. By far these are the bikes disturbing the public. 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post happy chappie Posted October 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2018 I would of thought possession or production of these exhausts would be legal.what if your making them for race circuits,exports or for show bikes not going to be used on the road.even the sale of them could be legal as long as it was stated not for road use like many bike items in other countries.items like helmets,exhausts,tinted visors are sold in the uk with the warning not for road use but totally legal to manufacture and sell to the public.i might get one of these for my pcx.keep the soi dogs from attacking me. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post utalkin2me Posted October 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2018 I can't really figure out what these guys get off on, going down sukhumvit at 3am and probably waking up everyone in a 1km radius as they race down. It is not even that big a deal to me honestly, but I mean I do not even like fumbling with my keys in my apartment's hallway late at night. They are taking noise pollution to an entirely new level. It is like a fetish they have or something. Maybe they feel their lives are too unimportant, or who knows what. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko kok prong Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 agree with the poster about the scooters,these young idiots tear around our town as fast as they can,making hell of a racket,if they are doing it to impress girls,it's not working as i rarely see a girl on the back.Also the mullam music shows ,i am about 1.5 kilometres away from a temple that had one the other night,noise kept me up until 3am,they must have turned it down,mate of mine who lives in town nearby said it went on until 5am this is very unfair on people living nearby. One reason i moved well out of town to a very quiet area,i just could not take the constant noise of funerals,monk parties,weddings,concerts,the final straw was last new year,4 houses around me had massive banks of speakers and started partying on the 29th,4 days of hell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingjock Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Section 44, all bikes with modified exhausts to be confiscated there and then. Its a major problem here in Pattaya, waking people up at 4/5 am in the morning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Not substandard, they just don't meet government noise restriction standards. I am sure the people who buy them are getting exactly what they are looking for in terms of noise and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattayadgw Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I live rawai phuket.... ive just come home after watching a rugby game at a bar on the beach front... every few minutes a bike screams past with a modified exhaust with mostly underage kids riding the bikes.... what would it take to have a policeman pulling these young unlicensed kids over and addressing the problem?? noise, no license, no insurance, underage +++++++++ They seem to concentrate on issues far less significant than what ive just mentioned.... many will say "thats just the way it is".... yes i understand that having been coming here since 1976.... but nothing is changing!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly what i mentioned earlier. "I am more annoyed with the scooters, the small Ninjas and the mSlaz that have been modified." Over the years when on the Sukhumvit around the time in the afternoon when school day ends these young kids are riding their scooters back home from school, as you say "noise, no license, no insurance, underage, 2 or 3 passengers, no helmets" the police turn the other way, I am pulled over also the mother next to me with her baby on board. This non-policing, surely sends the wrong signals, kids learn easily that they Rule on the roads if not challenged. Big Problem here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they could then be used as dustbins - a lot quieter use for them, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
