CARB Approved/Street Legal Exhaust?
Now there's gonna be a new bill in CA about exhausts being loud. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] I need to get a new one, anyway, what exhausts out there are CARB approved/street legal? I know for sure Tanabe is but can they fit LX? Is Magnaflow CARB approved/street legal?

Rep Power: 348 When you guys say "G-Medalion" do you guys refer to G Power Medalion? If so, where can I purchase it from for a 2k1 LX coupe? And is this model streel legal with a certificate? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 GReddy, but you'll need an EX header conversion.
I personally don't care for the new law. There are too many people with modified exhausts and cops aren't gonna seize all cars with modded exhausts (just the ricey ones I hope).

The new bill was passed on September 19th, 2002. This states that the sound by a motor vehicle must not be more than 95dbz. (I think its dbz). So it is really a good bill that will allow us to protect ourselfs from cops and their "It was too loud at the time".[hr]

So how do we prove that we are under the dbz level? Thats where it gets shady....We'll have to go and have a shop measure the level and provide paperwork saying it is within reasonable levels.
No biggy though. Just don;t gun it when a cop is around.

Rep Power: 0 Cali peeps should be grateful they passed a measurable(95DB)law...most jurisdictions leave it all up to the cops discretion..i.e. if the cop thinks its too loud(or if he needs to write a ticket to meet his quota) your toast.

Rep Power: 0 Well, Edgard... you really do widen your choices if you chose to get an EX header. If you're gonna get a header anyway, why not get that first? Afterwards, getting an exhaust is as easy as pointing to which one you want and getting the header is cheaper than most cat-backs.

Rep Power: 348 If I ever do get an EX conversion, I would have to cut the motor mount ryte? Which I don't want to void the warranty yet. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
