If there was an easy fix, they would have done it. Loud is subjective so you need to set a baseline and you need decibel numbers for that.

Just banning modifying exhausts is short-sighted because think of all the companies out there making custom exhausts that aren’t super loud.

You’re applying kid logic to an adult problem.

Loudness is not subjective. You can use a cheap device called the phone in your pocket to measure decibel readings come up with a baseline for every car and if it’s louder than that baseline then it’s not allowed. Also it’ll be pretty obvious if it’s too loud because the person driving the car will be a redneck

Sound intensity is objective.
A loud shirt might be subjective.
I'll grant you that a noise which is unacceptably loud at dead of night in a residential area might be acceptable once a week at Cape Canaveral.
But that's situational, not subjective.
