No offense, but that's one of the silliest analogies I think i've ever heard and it's 100% wrong

Default The UUC is not that loud! Really...
It sounds great! It's not loud at all... When you unbox it and look at it, you think OMG! This thing is going to be loud, but it's not... Somebody just posted their first db levels somewhere...

Default no no... I didnt say they did... I'm just wondering if its legal with no muffler
My bf seems to think it is... but I have no clue

I already know its not that loud... Hell a mustang is alot louder at steady cruise INSIDE the cabin with windows up than the UUC is at 5k 5 feet from the tailpipes LOL

I think it is legal... the key is not to break the noise barrier or emmissions laws
