motor vehicle while in position for driving.

vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor
of such vehicle above that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the vehicle.

Chapter 224 and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. No person shall operate
a motor vehicle with an exhaust system so modified.
