Legislation to provide that no motor-vehicle muffler or exhaust system shall emit a noise level greater than 60 decibels was introduced. The bill exempts those mufflers or exhaust systems installed as original equipment. The measure provides no test by which vehicles would be tested and would force inspectors to fail vehicles for violation of an unspecified test. The bill will be considered by both the House Transportation and House Judiciary Committees.
