Got a CBR500R recently and it got a slip-on exhaust like this.. Is this ok to drive around GTA? I don't throttle crazy and the bike sounds normal but don't want any trouble from cops/bylaw officers.

Better question. Is your cat still there? If so, likely fine. My bike has an open exhaust and I haven't had issues with cops. Might be cuz it sounds like a souped up lawnmower
All we have is your opinion that it "sounds normal".
Without measuring the decibels properly at the correct distance from the pipe, it's impossible for anyone on the Interweb to say whether you'd pass a sound check or not just based on a picture of the pipe.

Not entirely impossible. If there is not something in front of that tiny thing, expect to fail. If there is something other than pipe upstream of that, I'm entirely with you.

Why not try one of those free apps on your phone to get an idea of where you stand in terms of DB?
Not entirely accurate - but should give you a rough idea no...?
To me it seems like it might be pretty loud...but like Jesus said -
"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Since I'm running an aftermarket exhaust as well

I believe his exact words were:
"Let he who is without Hindle, cast the first Akrapovic!"

Were you holding the phone or was it in the proper test location? That can make a huge difference.

You can try cross shopping across a few local dealerships or try Partzilla?
I used a 2020 MY for e.g: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/motorcycle/2020/cbr500r/muffler

No good. If you're not in the correct location, you can determine very little. Afaik, they are only testing at idle, just start your bike and measure in the correct location.
You may pass if there is muffling/cat in front of your stubby "muffler".

I have a '14 CBR500R and personally, I would not put the stock exhaust back on it. It is too quiet but I've also lost a bit of my hearing lol.
I have a Hindle slip-on right now and I love it. I ran a Yoshi slip-on before that too and it was great. The CBR500R is not a loud bike at all, even with a slip-on.
