My friend told me that all aftermarket exhaust are illegal no matter what the decible level is is this true at all. He said that there was a law passed or something.

no its not illegal, how can people replace their muffler or exhaust piping when its rusted through if its illegal? there is no law saying you can't change your exhaust to after market ones, unless its a new law that i dunno of. But polices can give you a ticket if the exhaust produce excessive noise.

You can get a ticket for putting on an after market exhaust because its not a muffler that muffles noise anymore, its a resinator that amplifies sound.

Factory resinators usually restrict airflow that usually dampens sound actually.

And many aftermarket mufflers, depending on construction can be just as quiet as the factory..............................

right...aftermarket muffler ok, so long as its not excessively loud....

the US has an actualy dB restriction, does anyone know if we do here?

 
Rep Power: 0

No, there is no actual dB number here. The charge is up to the officer's discretion in terms of what he or she seems as "excessively loud".

hollywood style tips (sticking out past the bumper) are illegal.

anything that is straight through (fireball style) will most likely get a ticket...

its very subjective...there is no standard to measure in terms of what you will and won't get a ticket for.

My 5zigen (yeah, the real one and not cheap ebay) is very noticable .. sticks out abit from the rear bumper... large 4" slanted tip.

I haven't gotten a ticket yet since its a really quiet exhaust. However, its gotten abit louder since I installed it a month ago.. (can someone explain that?)

I was pulled over for nothing and had my magnaflow cat-back on and the officer didnt say anything about that. He just gave me a little lecture on my driving style.
