Exhaust too loud ticket Ok guys some scum sucking pig pulled me and three other civics over tonight and gave us all tickets for having exhausts on our cars. The cops stated that they were too loud despite the fact that I had my silencer in at the time. Does anyone know the law about how loud you can be and about what I can do to get rid of this when I have to appear in court??
Anyway this is the reason people hate cops because they like to be a**holes. The NYPD has gone to sh*t since Bloomberg became mayor **** bloomberg and fvuk power hungry cops with nothing better to do.

Rep Power: 0 My friend got the same thing. Goto a police station and they'll do a DB test and if you pass they take the ticket off. Ask before they do the test what the DB law is so that they can't cheat you out. Just make sure you do everything you can to get it quite. From what i remember it's not a cheap ticket in missiouri.

Rep Power: 0 I know there is some kind of db rating on how loud a car can be and I also know that my car is not that loud especially with the silencer in. I know that these cops just want to make their christmas quotas.

decibals are used to measure sound, so they would be the same for either exhaust, nothing special used to measure the two. place the meter near the car and press on......

Rep Power: 270 if its an exhaust modification then thats when you would get the ticket, but if you have a POS vehicle with a crappy exhaust like most of the hicks of here, then thats a little different, a violation of the vehicles inspection, still a ticket but something totally differnt

Rep Power: 0 It seems like cops should be there to "protect and serve" its not like ur gonna hurt anyone b/c your car is too loud. They should go after sex offenders instead.

Rep Power: 0 People are just tring to say don't cops have better things to do. I mean here we have people breaking into stores and crap and there pulling me over with a harmless neons ticket. I respect them for doing there job but they gota cut the line to when to stop enforcing the laws to much. Pulling me over for Neons is a Freedom of expression. Beleive me my friend got pulled over for it and the county was beging him not to sue the county for harasing him about it. I'm expressing my favorite color green.lol Around here i see cops doing what ever they plz(speed, run stop signs, run lights) and if you hit them guess whos gona be the one introuble the victum. I'm not saying all cops are bad but there some out there. When there a good ones that don't car about neons and all that crap those are the really good ones.

i would also like to add that cops are human too. and i am saying this "against" cops because what they do alot of times depends on what kind of mood they are in. why is that my fault? its not, but yet they will give me a ticket for something dumb or whatever, just because their donut wasnt hot enough.
alot of it is just a power trip. i'm sure a few lives were saved from ticketing the guy about his exhaust... but that poor child living in the projects getting beat every night before bed doesnt get a second thought from the cops... but as long as there is one less person with a loud exhaust, the world is a safer place. whatever.
and for all u cops in this forum, dont try saying thats not true, because my dad is a cop and he admits it any day.

Rep Power: 0 Well I know some people that have been pulled over and given a ticket. However they fought it in court, and their lawyer was provided because if you are a student you can declare no income. They got out of it because they had all the information on their exhaust showing that it is legal in all 50 states, etc. The way the dB works is not necesarily how loud it is, but when revved to a certain rpm it hits a certain frequency in which they measure to see if it was amplified past the maximum dB's. I would fight it, and I would get my exhaust checked.
Also it states at least in the the CHP handbook (California) that a modified exhaust ticket is issued for exhausts that are trying to amplify sound to an unreasonable level. I know its possible to get out of because my friend has a '68 chevelle with a 542 that sets my car alarm off when it is idling down the street. He got a ticket and it was dropped because his muffler was California legal.
