Well, yeah, violent shaking of the internal components can damage them.

#12I live about 5 miles (on the same road) as the local Harley Davidson dealership and would love it if HD riders left the stock pipes on their bikes. While the engines do vibrate, don't dismiss the additional concussive force of an unmuffled exhaust.
I hear them outside and am happy for them, they don't have tinnitus. Yet.
I used to like the sound of engines, still do, but I never understood the farty exhaust tbh.

Isn't there a legal limit on the amount of dB(A) produced by any vehicle?

#14It isn't just iPhone, and it can happen on any motorcycle regardless of the engine size or power. The OIS in my Pixel 4a is destroyed from using a mount for less than an hour.

Hint: they wear protective earplugs.

#16Road bikes too. I wrecked my iPhone 8’s autofocus after riding ~1000 miles with it on a handlebar mount. Obviously there’s no engine vibration but chip-and-seal roads have a similar effect.

Hmmm, interesting. That hasn't been my personal experience.
Indeed, several years ago I took an iPhone 6S Plus on a roadtrip on a motorcycle, Yamaha FZ-600 for about 2500 miles, no issues.
But I also had a quiet stock exhaust?

(Sweden situation). There's recurring inspections of any vehicle, binannually or something maybe for motorcycles. The HD people I know/knew, would change back to the stock pipes for inspection, because the loud ones were not legal to use. Then just change back again.

yes this is exactly what people do with modified cars too
