WRONG BLAKE!!!!! So after i got my tires balanced today i decided to go down to the police station and have an officer check my exhaust. I started it, let it idle for LITERALLY 10 seconds and he wrote it off...so im glad that he wrote it off, but there needs to be an agreement among cops on what's loud and whats not. there NEEDS to be a DB meter and limit. anywho, yea....thats what happened.right... but what I'm saying is that you're not going to get tickets sitting there at idle. It's going to be while you're driving that they hear your car, and write you the ticket. I know that when the measure the db of your exhaust they do test it at idle for one of the tests.

personally, this is what pisses me off the most "Why did I get a ticket when my muffler is stated to be 50 state legal"...he replied with "Well its not legal in Fargo, ND"...so apparently Fargo is considered the 51st state or somthing according to copsI agree^^, what gives the cops the right to decide that kinda stuff. I am sure he just wanted to be an ass because he was bored and didn't have anybody else to pick on at the moment. Fuck em....

I thought that the city ordinance reads excessive noise(or something to that degree) at idle from a distance of 20 ft?

ive said it before and i'll say it again...this just proves that cops are power hungry bastards that only wanna show ppl that they can boss them around. however, the cop that looked over my exhaust then signed it was very nice about it. so i guess they arent all bad. but a lot of em...sheesh

the volume at idle is not the issue.If they are going by the CARB standard it is since noone can tell what RPM you normally drive at. I believe it is around 95 dB that it has to be under to be compliant.
