This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It’s already illegal to modify the exhaust system to make a vehicle noisier after it has been ‘type approved’ (checked it meets environmental and safety standards): www.gov.uk/noise-pollution-road-train-plane

The police are responsible for taking action if a vehicle’s silencer doesn’t work in the way it was designed or if a person is driving in a way that creates too much noise.
