Lane Splitting != Loud Pipes
Apples and Oranges.
I'm quite content with California's Lane Splitting law. You do it, you accept the risk.
Loud pipes are another story.
You won't find a "right to loud pipes" anywhere, nor will you find a lawyer that would defend you pro bono if you wanted to sue to keep that right that you don't have.
If the public really wanted to quash loud pipes, they would require annual motorcycle inspections that insured all were in compliance with DOT requirements. vehicles that were inspected and then found to be out of compliance afterwards would be cited, and if the vehicle in question was cited repeatedly, it would be impounded.
Don't like not being able to ride without loud pipes? Well, don't ride.
