URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT
Legislation to Allow Reasonable Exhaust System Modifications
Introduced in Virginia
Legislation (H.B. 2895) that would allow Virginia’s vehicle hobbyists to install and use aftermarket modified exhaust systems that meet a 95-decibel limit under a fair and predictable test standard has been introduced in the Virginia State Legislature by Delegate William Fralin (Del_Fralin@house.state.va.us)
We Urge You to Contact Your Virginia State Legislators Immediately to Support H.B. 2895
· H.B. 2895 would remove subjective provisions in the law and force compliance with an objectively measured standard. Under the standard, exhaust noise could not exceed a sound reading of 95-decibels under a fair and predictable test (Society of Automotive Engineers J1169 - May 1998).
· H.B. 2895 would benefit consumers, the aftermarket industry and police officers who are charged with enforcing the law.
· H.B. 2895 would remedy the enforcement policy currently used by police officers in which nearly all exhaust systems not of a type installed as standard factory equipment are considered illegal - even where noise levels are not excessive or unusual. This policy leaves enthusiasts, exhaust system manufacturers and dealers without recourse.
· H.B. 2895 recognizes that aftermarket exhaust systems are designed to make vehicles run more efficiently without increasing emissions.
· H.B. 2895 recognizes that aftermarket exhaust systems offer increased durability and performance, which can make a vehicle safer by improving its ability to merge, pass, travel uphill, etc.
· H.B. 2895 challenges the erroneous assumption that enthusiasts who equip their vehicles with modified exhaust systems are involved in illegal street racing.
Contact Delegate Fralin (Del_Fralin@house.state.va.us)to thank him. Contact your own state legislators in Richmond immediately by phone, fax or e-mail to request their support for this legislation. If you need assistance in determining who your legislators are and their contact information, please contact the Virginia Legislature’s General Information Line at (804) 698-1500. This information can also be obtained by calling the SEMA Washington, D.C. office at 202/783-6007, ext. 38 or via the Internet at http://www.semasan.com/ContactYourLegislator.aspx Please e-mail a copy of your letter to stevem@sema.org or fax to 202/783-6024 or mail to:

Rep Power: 434 they come up with it so that normal people like you/me don't get hassled. if you want to drive without getting hassled, then just abide by the law. don't put nasty fart cannons on your slow civic. besides, an exhaust only helps if you have your engine fully built or turboed or swapped. not just i/h/e.

Rep Power: 0 I got one
Over here in CA is it's a fixit ticket. All I got popped one time in my 7, I took the scilencer out just to see the difference of course while at a red light a bike cop pulled up next to me, as soon as I tapped the gas he pulled me over. I got luckey, it's an illegal exhaust, I was running a Trust 95mm 3 piece full stainless steel exhausts, you could drop a tennis ball througn the thing and it wouldn't touch any of the inner sides. Damn near zero back presrue, it loved to spit fireballs. I took it to the police station to get the car inspected on a friday right before 5pm and the cop didn't even come outside to check the car he just signed the paper. Cost $0.
