The opinion of an inspector as to whether the engine and exhaust noise is greater than that made by other vehicles in good condition of comparable size, horsepower, piston displacement or compression ratio shall determine whether exhaust gases are expelled with excessive noise.
When tested
in an inspection station, the vehicle engine, any auxiliary engine and exhaust level shall not exceed Table 3 standards.
