Not to be that guy but yea, so 45 years ago I drove the U Haul truck by my high school and picked up my yearbook, tossed it on the front seat and left Taxachusetts for Florida. Never looked back - great place to grow up, really loved it but when you get older and have to start paying all the sky high taxes and see the bridges and roads falling apart and wonder where the hell all the money is going and the weather totally sucks it's time to leave. I really enjoy going back for a visit but that's it. Here in FL we have no vehicle inspections and everyone is still pretty safe - yes you can get an excessive noise ticket but generally unless your throttle hand is being an idiot in town they leave you alone. And it's not $1000 like N.Y. that's just highway robbery for the state revenue slush fund.
Personally I don't like obnoxiously loud vehicles just a nice exhaust note so I know the engines running, and maybe my R Model echo's off of overpasses when I spank it underneath passing thru, but is still pretty quiet in cruising. That's the key to exhaust - keep the noise level reasonable - some guys have taken the stock mufflers and cut them almost in half, and put them back together with the EPA/DOT/MFG stamps still visible for the inspectors - that might be an option for you guys dealing with the Noise Nazi's. SuperTrapps would be quieter as well and tunable, for sound and power - quiet for inspection, maybe a little louder after, but baffles are screwed in - they might gig you on that.
