I think that all diesels should be required by law to have exhaust stacks at least 6 feet above the roof of the vehicle or say a minimum of 10 or 12 feet in the air. Most semis already do this. The problem with diesel cars are not in the car but in having to sit behind one at a stop light. They step on the accelerator and you can't see or breath for the next block or two. In a car at least you can roll up the windows but motorcycles put you right where the action is. If the exhaust exited up high it would at least have time to diffuse a little before being inhaled.
