Re: MUFFLER TICKET...
 

in california if you get a ticket for a loud exhaust you can take it to a smog ref that is certified in DB levels and if it passes you get a sticker on your car saying it is a legal exhaust....the thing is you have to get a ticket in order to get it reffed =/

Re: MUFFLER TICKET...
 

Aren't there like CARB legal exhaust systems that don't have a giant ricer tip and sound like a crotch rocket doing a burn out?

Just get a muffler that isn't quite as loud as the one you have. Cops never mess with me and I run with just a resonator, no muffler, no cat.

dam cops strike again, ya, i know for a fact up here there a little honda happy, u have a muffler or anything done or if its a jap car they get u lol. i have a dc header, full 2.5 and a jdm tunabe exhaust off a jdm clip, no cat res or anything with my ls/vtec, shits quiet, until mad vtec ;)

i dont get alot of ---- about the exhaust, unless they pull me over for somthin else, like when i dint have a front licence plate. there like is that a moded exhaust, i said does it look like it, there like no. i laughed, it looks kinda stock, but bigger and ----.-lol -blake

Re: MUFFLER TICKET...
 

goto court, try to get it dropped. When u go in, dont say anything yet, just ask if the officer turned your ticket in on time.. If the judge says he didnt you can have that ticket dropped. Cops have like 1-3 days to turn their tickets in. I had my first ticket dropped when i asked that. But when i got my 2nd one, i forgot to say that, and ended payin a reduced ticket. My friend's mom told me about this, shes the chick that sits right next to the judge.

Re: MUFFLER TICKET...
 

no. in most us states on the ticket it has to be described as a loud exhaust with a certain decible. the cop has to test it one foot away and at a certain rpms. i know this because ive seen people get pulled for this kinda stuff. if it doesnt have a decible rating on your ticket then in my book it dont count. they have to test it. but you could be right. but most cops simply say its too loud/broken.

Re: MUFFLER TICKET...
 

I just got my exhaust on Tuesday and I wanted to pass inspection easy so I got a Magnaflow High Flow Cat and Magnaflow High Flow Muffler. Basically they don't do much. You can see right through them. Anyway, my exhaust is pretty loud since it's 3 inch all the way from the cat back and going to be 2.5 - 3 inch downpipe too. I know like shift at around 2250. I got on it of course when I got it back and its pretty loud. Sounds good and deep then around 4000-5000 is starts to buzz. I don't know maybe it IS vtec doing that. Point is I doubt I even get a ticket and they are strick around here. I just cruise slow and my exhaust tip is just the 3 inch steel pipe with 3 inch stainless over it tacked on to look better. No 4.5 inch tip. Looks stock just with a tip bought from Autozone slid over the tailpipe.

Re: MUFFLER TICKET...
 

I heard that before. We were all hanging out one night and we counted 27ish cops. Don't think they were all different, but still. I rarely see 3 in 1 day. Is that true?

Re: MUFFLER TICKET...
 

that whole thing is bullshit. if he brought it from a company that sells it legally the muffler is legal. They wouldn't be in business if what they produce is illegal they have a liscense for it. It cracks me up when cops pull that ---- and people believe them
