Muffler Laws

just go to the police station and ask them to a look at it. and go from there, they may just right it off.
i do agree about the harleys. the other night there was some drunk chick on her harley that was revving the piss out off it, probably just got her new "pipes" and thinks see all bad ass. and then her and he friend proceeded to race down main. at midnight on saturday night. i was going to get plates and call it in but they were gone way to fast for me to get the plates or see where the went

fight it, here is the code for exhaust:
8-0908. Mufflers required--Cutouts prohibited.--No person shall drive a motor vehicle on any street or highway unless such motor vehicle is equipped with a muffler, together with any necessary extensions, pipes or resonators, in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive and unusual noise and annoying smoke. Such exhaust system shall operate to blend the exhaust noise into the over-all vehicle noise. No person shall use a Amuffler cutout@, Abypass@ or similar device on any motor vehicle upon the streets or highways in the city. The exhaust system shall not emit or produce a sharp, popping or cracking sound, nor shall it emit or produce loud or explosive noises.
Source: 1965 Rev. Ord. 8-0908, 1553 (1973).

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.
