310 db (decibels?) Seems very excessive, thought most aftermarket exhausts were around 95-97 decibels.

Dynamic levels of sound range from about 0 dB (threshold of audibility) to about 120 dB (threshold of pain), so I reckon the guy on the police bike had blood pouring out of his ears

I take it you live in N. America Sinky??

Well over here, the cops are more interested in shafting the humble motorist (and therefore generating money through fines), than catching burglers, rapists, and muggers.

We're an easy target, and they've always got us in their sights.
