Finally, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has decided to allow its citizens
to have easy access to the laws of the state! I have been trying to find PA
vehicle inspection requirements on line, and they just posted the entire PA
CODE on the PA web site. http://www.pacode.com/index.html
For all you Pennsylvanians who care, so to:
http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/067/chapter175/s175.80.html for the
vehicle inspection procedures. This will be helpful as I complete the work
on my Midget.
The complete section on Transportation has many, many links. Go to:
http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/067/067toc.html
The section on inspections includes emissions as well as safety, and for all
vehicles.
Of particular interest was the section on motorcycle exhaust systems:
"(b) Exhaust system requirements. A motorcycle shall be equipped with a
muffler or other effective noise-suppressing system in good working order and
in constant operation. A muffler or exhaust system may not be equipped with a
cutout, bypass or similar device and a muffler may not show evidence of
external repair.
(1) The exhaust system of a motorcycle may not be modified in a manner
which will amplify or increase noise emitted by the motor of the vehicle
above the maximum level permitted by Chapter 157 (relating to established
sound levels)."
And I thought that they were encouraged to be so loud that they set of car
alarms!
Have fun. This site will take a whole day to explore.
