The main difference is that high pitched noises cary where a Harley is just all out loud...Exhast laws have their place, but ND is far off kilter on how and when they should be giving tickets...
Put exhaust on your car with a nice shiny fart can? why to set your car apart from everyone else, right? well it's gettting you noticed... by everyone, including cops. I have never installed aftermarket exhaust on any car I ever own. I take the Cat off the probe when I go to the race track, and I have left it off since late september. I haven't got a ticket yet... and I guarentee its louder than your civic, eric. pretty sure it has very little to do with how it sounds, but your style of driving and the look of your car(which I know is profiling... get used to it). if you dont want exhaust tickets, don't put exhaust on your stock civic.
Most people put exhaust on their cars to get away from the "stock" title. If you do it because you like how it shines...you're a ricer. Granted yes, I do just have a can on right now. But not for long, a can still provides better flow than stock. It's not just to set yourself apart from others.

ummm....no.I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. It's fucking pointless because you are an asshat. All you do is argue with me on everything. So STFU and quit with the bullshit. You have no reason to have beef with me, if you want a reason then I will give you one. /end rant

I have an exhaust all 3 of my vehilces. The only time i have been pulled over for it was on broadway at 2am on labor day. And.... I was in my jeep.
Some of you know how loud my car is when i go WOT, if i can do that next to a Harley and not hear my open dump, that is just nuts.

the muffler may flow more/be less restrictive. but what good does it do to put that larger muffler on and then have to reduce it back to a smaller pipe to exit the muffler?
The exhaust can only flow as much as its smallest point. Behing big, is also not always the best thing. back pressure doess affect torque

U forgot the part where bigger piping isnt always better...it's exhaust velocity that's what matters not how big piping is, etc.

Reality is actually more complicated than that. It's an old classic, but if you haven't you might want to read "the scientific design of intake and exhaust". He discusses the reason why race exhaust tips were "megaphone" shaped, i.e. pipe size expansion can have an important positive effect on exhaust characteristics. I don't remember the specifics, but the take away i had from that book was that designing an effective exhaust system was quite difficult and required a reasonable understanding of fluid dynamics as well as some engine characteristic data that most people don't have handy.
Now in the specific case we're talking about here -- yeah, it's unlikely that putting a big fart can on a car will do anything but increase noise (my experience is with primarily BMWs, and you will almost never beat the stock system on a BMW except for saving weight, unless you've modified the engine otherwise such that the factory exhaust is no longer appropriate for the engine's state of tune). That said, it's strictly incorrect to say that putting a large diameter muffler on a smaller diameter exhaust cannot ever be beneficial.
