        Yeah, if you're missing your cat, this ticket is pretty easy on the pocket compared to what they could have written you up for.

            If your missing Cats, just pay the ticket. Youll be in worse shit if they see you dont have cats, even if you just play dumb.

            its nice having a beater old truck though, my bronco is louder than hell and nobody says a thing about it. Same thing with the charger.

              That's what I was planning on doing, I know i'm at fault i'm just bitching cause I hear stuff twice as loud as mine and no one does shit about it. At least most places they have a certain decible limit to go by, that's only fair to do it that way.

                We have already had this discussion atleast 5 times on here.... it's not fair, but hey, not much you can do about it... U should have a Catalytic converter on your car... whether its against the law or not...

                    If you wanted to you could find some old exhaust system with cats on it, cut the cat guards off and weld those onto your pipes to make it look like you have cats...

                      Just go there and have a cop listen to it at idle...thats all they do...your car is quiet at idle, so you'll be fine...however if i were you, i'd get a different muffler all together bc no offense, your car sounds like a quiet hive a bees...those of you that have heard his car know what i'm talking about...the thing is, I consider his car quiet, it's just that it's a very annoying quiet...it's a straight pipe attached to a napa $15 stock muffler...my car is way louder I know, but it sounds different...that may be why

                      in the end man, GO TO THE STATION TODAY...just have a cop listen to your car, thats it...it takes like one minute (after the cop gets there)...you just start your car and let it idle. thats it.

                          I'm not offended at all Torbs, I know my exhaust sounds like shit, I hate it too. I've been planning on putting full new exhaust on my car, it was the first thing I was planning on after getting the new motor in, but i'm short of cash right now so there isnt going to be anything done with my car in the near future.

                            I use to like my car really loud. I guess I'm getting old. I will be putting a muffler on it next spring. Having a loud car makes it tough to drive at half throttle....or driving spirited....ly.

                              I miss having a loud vehicle. Thought about picking up a catback for the Tahoe but I ain't got the cash right now.

                                  IMO what you should do is get something to resonate the sound (i.e. a glasspack) and then get a normal fartcan or w/e end muffler you wanna get. be the cheapest route for ya. Just have them put piping where your muffler is now, have a glasspack installed in front of the rear axle, then the muffler. I wish I woulda put a glasspack in my del sol...granted my car is just fine and you cant tell i have an exhaust goin down the highway, it still is quite loud when i get on it.

                                    Don't do glasspacks. The fiberglass in them blows out relatively quickly and then they sound like shit. Spend the money on a decent resonator.

                                        in that case they also sell twin chamber mufflers that look like glasspacks and they resonate QUITE A BIT...and they are the same price as glasspacks too...had one on my audi
