I went to the voluntary noise test in Victoria with my ITR for kicks. They let everyone know ahead of time no tickets would be issued. You could find out if you would fail the test at idle and at 2-3k throttle. I easily passed but not at 7000 rpm 86 db.
At the end they said asked you to rev it where many cars are over the legal noise limit and you could get a ticket for excessive noise. They warned there was zero tolerance starting the next day. They openly said they had learned from the Vancouver VI mess and would not give out a VI unless they catch you a 3rd time. They will be giving out $109 excessive noise tickets and do not need to test your noise level. Officer discretion and subjective opinion.
Also they said that all police chiefs across BC have been asked to target loud exhausts.
