I guess the premise of that article also applies to those of us who used clothespins to attach playing cards to our bikes when we were kids.

I had two cards on the back wheel and two card on the front wheel so I was especially bad.

Yep, those newer imports that richen the mixture and dump their exhaust to decibel levels that puncture ear drums tell me loads about their narcissistic personalities. I'm confident that's none of us.

That's an article that mentions "modifying mufflers" multiple times.

I don't have any mufflers. Next question.

I think this article was really meant towards those idiots with the Ricers that have removed and or illegally modified exhaust components, put in straight pipes, and detuned their engines to purposely sound like machine gun fire when they decelerate. The loudest side pipes don't even come close to this noise level which they "think" makes them cool but in reality are just a nuisance to the rest of us. Same crowd has the whole trunk devoted to huge oversized Amps and speakers. It's all about them.

I was waiting for the article to tie in global warming as well.
But I am happy to be called a sadist with my magnaflo’s😬

There are more than a few Charger and Mustang drivers who fall into that category as well.

The worst are the obnoxiously loud pickup trucks. If there is an upside to the EV mandate it is the eventual elimination of those trucks.

Well, I love loud exhaust. I guess I'm a narcissistic, psychopath with criminal tendencies. Gee, and I spent a career enforcing the law.
Basing a survey on the opinions of 18 year olds, whose brains aren't fully developed, is inherently invalid.

Well, I got as far as this sentence and decided not to waste another second of my time:

"Schermer surveyed 529 business students who had an average age of 18 years"

Wow! This explains why my obsession with BDSM makes me fantasize about torturing mufflers in bondage
