Most exhausts not just the race ones will get you a ticket.
Noise pollution.

the R6 stock exhaust is like .6 under the limit... so pretty much anything you put on is illegal

Has anyone here actually gotten a ticket for a slip on exhaust? I've ridden by tons of cops and they never pulled me over for one

I got pulled over and the cop told me he could hear me comin for like 2-3 minutes before he saw me. No exhaust ticket though.

doh. my full hindle isn't that bad on noise. it does mess with emmisions in the nature that it has no provisions for o2 sensors, so i need to get a power commander and o2 simulator plug thingys to get rid of the FI light.

I have a polished alluminum D+D which i took off because I acquired a broke carbon fiber two brothers which I in turn cut 6inches off of and put that on my bike and its quieter than the D+D. THE D+Ds are LOUD! Sounds badass but gets old after an hour on the bike. Ringing ears and all.

They do not do emissions on bikes. At least in VA. I have an RS5 Yoshimura Slip-On and it is only loud if I rev it like crazy. If I don't it's not that loud. I have not been stopped yet.
