Exhaust ticket

[ethree]

I just moved back to Hawaii from Cali, and am glad to be off the mainland. Cali has every down of living out here (expensive, traffic, expensive :P) but no local hotties.

What part of california were you in? Central valley? The islands aren't expensive? How much is your house worth, whats a gallon of feul or milk cost?

my car wasn't even horribly loud without the catback.theres plenty of civics around here that are much louder. im not sure nevada has loud exhaust rules. plenty of loud muscle cars every year that can shoot flames every hot august nights and they dont get pulled over.

Nice man! Congrats! What'd you say - it was my muffler missing, not my cat?

[mikeedler]

As far as Cali being the center of the universe and the envy of 49 states... nah

sorry, but running no muffler isn't or ever was "cool" M20s without a muffler sound like garbage.

you play, you pay. I wish you the best of luck.

U.S.C. ( )3 7521 to 7550, inclusive) and the standards and regulations adopted pursuant to that federal act, unless the motor vehicle is equipped with the required motor vehicle pollution control device ( )4 that is correctly installed and in operating condition. No person shall disconnect, modify, or alter any such required device.

7550 is the noise part, and to "measure" the exhaust gasses you need a complete/ sealed exhaust system
I am no rocket scientist, but the way I read this is that the muffler is also part of the "exhaust pollution system", so I see it possibly going both ways.

I would try to bring a exhuast pollution test reciept (later than the ticketdate with, and pics of the exhaust section still being missing on the same time as the test. then put the exhaust section on and hope for the best.

I agree with the pay to play, I say that all the time actually.

But if I can get away with it, then that's more money to play some more :)

Do you choose not run a muffler because you keep knocking holes in them too, like your oil pans, which are a must have to drive the car ?

Like I said, there is plenty of clearance for a muffler.

But overall excitement is a factor at amateur drift events and a loud exhaust helps with that. Eventually I will flange everything and have a muffler in place, but when there are free tires on the line, it's worth it.

And as a kid, you're not cool unless your car is as loud/flashy as your peers' ;)

ATL in the house!

[delatlanta1281]

I don't think it is the center of the universe and I definitely do not DREAM of moving there. Fun to visit, couldn't deal with living.

I agree
I have been to socal many times, whether skateboarding or working it was a fun place to live, but I could not live there. No one smokes in LA until I show up, then they all bum off me.
I lived in norcal and liked it, but the ATL is my "center of the universe".

Now SF, that is a totally different story. As a skateboarder and all around great guy, I envy those people.

yeah i think maryland has sound restrictions, at least when i lived up there i heard rumor of a stereo restriction something like if your music can be heard 15' away its too loud or something stupid

I've only been pulled over once for loud exhaust. The cop asked me if there was hole in my muffler. I just said no, i put a set of glass packs on it. He said ok, then went to his car and came back a few min.s latter and told me to have a nice day. I don't know if he could of gave me a fix it ticket or not since i didn't live in his state (Maryland)?

[NC325iC]

if a cop pulled me over for my car being to loud i would lol and drive away

probably not but if it were on the internet you better believe i would
