<![CDATA[Exhaust tickets....]]>Alright, i just got a ticket today for my exhaust...i know that it's not the quietest thing on earth, but its not that loud either...hell, i still have my factory cat. anywho, what pisses me off about it was that i was already parked in a spot at school when the cop just comes up and turns his lights on behind me like 1 minute after i had parked and was just going to go to class...he then took 15 min. of my class time to write the ticket, then gave it to me using the new noise code thing. i had one question for him and that was "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"...WOW what an ass...i think that i got pulled over bc i have 4 cyl. rims and a fartcan....maybe thats just me, but i felt as though i was profiled.

If I was you guys I would fight it, there doesn't seem to be enough guide lines for it to even be possible. At what db is loud?.....
And if it is that big of a deal why wouldn't you try and do something about it, vs ramdom bitching on a website. No direct hit at anyone here just an opinion.

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.

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

I wanted to make the sig my avitar, but it was too big. I sit and stare at it too....

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 cops

I 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....

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.

true....
