Anti-noise laws bring changes to motorcycle exhaust market and DB Killers are no longer removable

The recent approval of new anti-tampering provisions for optional exhaust silencer systems promises to significantly alter the motorcycle market in Europe. The measures, which are part of the third series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 92, make it impossible to remove devices known as “DB Killers,” making it more difficult to manipulate exhausts to increase noise.

The European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (ACEM), representing 17 major manufacturers in the sector, including brands such as BMW Motorrad, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, and Triumph, has expressed support for the new provisions. The organization recognizes the growing concern of citizens and regulators regarding noise pollution and highlights that maximum noise emission limits have been regulated in the European Union since the 1990s.

The evolution of these regulations is the result of collaboration between ACEM, aftermarket exhaust manufacturers, and the International Motorcycle Manufacturers Association (IMMA). In 2023, these entities published specific guidelines to combat the manipulation of exhaust systems, directly influencing the development of the new rules.

Antonio Perlot, Secretary-General of ACEM, highlighted the importance of adopting these measures: “This decision represents a significant step to ensure that replacement exhaust systems comply with regulatory standards. By reducing excessive noise, these rules address the concerns of citizens and policymakers.”

The final decision was made during the 80th session of UNECE GRBP in September 2024, and was subsequently validated in March 2025 by the WP.29. The EU Type-Approval Framework Regulation (EU) 168/2013 requires the application of UNECE Regulations No. 92 and No. 41, which regulate aftermarket exhausts and original motorcycle exhaust systems, respectively.

These rules are developed and maintained by the Working Party on Noise and Tyres (GRBP), within the scope of the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29), under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

The measure represents an advance in environmental regulation and in promoting more responsible motorcycling. However, some motorcycle enthusiasts argue that the restriction may limit motorcycle customization, an essential aspect for many fans. Despite this, the new legislation is expected to significantly reduce noise pollution, contributing to a more peaceful and balanced urban environment.
