I'm just wondering if a mugen twin loop style exhaust from jdmcarboy a legal replacement for my exhaust since I recently got a fix-it ticket for a "modified" exhaust. Also Is the mugen twin loop style exhaust under 95db and if so can i get a random cop to sign my ticket with that mugen twin loop style exhaust on it?

Oh and I'm in California if that helps.

 

these cops out here are dicks

 

yeah they are...they said that my exhaust is "loud enough to ticket someone for" and he gave me a ****** fix-it ticket without using a sound meter/decibel meter to see exactly how loud my exhaust is.

 

same **** here...my uncles friend is a cop and he signs off on tickets, i can get him to do it for you since you arent too far away

 

my gf has a loud exhaust and never got pulled over.. its a automatic too .. shets so annoying though..

but thats off topic
if you want i have jdmcarboy muffler .. 50 - 60 shipped :] hit me up!

well how can he sign off tickets if my exhaust is really illegal lol. it's like 100db at 3000RPM. and i'm wondering if it's possible if i can put the mugen twin loop exhaust on and take it to your uncle's friend to test it out and sign it off legally.

lol naw i'm good. with the jdmcarboy muffler. i was just about to pick one up from him directly in long beach today.

 

It should be fine, it's a fairly quiet exhaust.

You see the problem is, your ticket isn't legit if he didn't use any kind of meter or guage.

 

yeah that's what i thought about the ticket until i read up on the CHP website that it's fine that the cops don't use the sound meter on me

kinda like the way these cars around here pass smog without anything with carb eo numbers

 

You can be pulled over for ANY exhaust aside from STOCK. Which means even if it passes sound tests, you can be pulled over. But every officer has their own extremes.

 

its a very quiet exhaust. Plus the tip is very small. I've had mine on for 2 months and have been pulled over but never for the exhaust. O, i dont have a cat and its still not loud.

 

officers are allowed to pull you over for any modification to exhaust... the ticket is given based on their own judgement and assesment of the situation. It you want it written off i believe new state law requires that one goes to a ref and get it metered...

 

in ca, any modified exhaust is illegal. twin loop is a modified exhaust. Thus twin loop is illegal.

look at that reasoning

 

well if any modified exhaust is illegal...that means pep boys, kragen, and all of those places would go out of business

 

wow im so glad im in GA. were cops jus look under the hood for drugs and weapons. but if they do pull you over for anything of that nature...its usually cuz they were street racing.
hopefully u get the ticked sign'd off

so you're saying that i should get it metered by a ref and what's the legal limit in california? it has to be under 95db at 3000RPM right?

 

thanks

If they wanted to, tehy could give you a ticket for one of those exhausts also. Still modified. As stupid as it sounds, It is true.

 

damn cops lol

It's not illegal to sell modified exhausts. you can run your car on the track..

It like guns. Its illegal to shoot them in the city, but you can always go huntin

Any exhaust that is LOUDER then stock is illegal. Ive heard many different versions and laws of this. Ive heard that anything modified is illegal from one cop. then from the referee i heard that anything louder is illegal. Then i heard that if it doesnt look stock and sound stock its illegal. Thats why i changed mine to stock and quiet lookin one.

Good Luck

 

thanks. guess i gotta stop shifting late when vtec kicks in lol

 

Do whatever you want about sound. Any muffler other than OEM qualifies as Altered Exhaust. Aka, you can still get a ticket.

 

yeah...thanks for the info

 

i once got pulled over for modified exhaust. when i first bought my car it had some POS rice can on it. when i got the ticket i didnt have a stock one to throw back on so i opted for the twinloop. went to court and an officer made me turn on my car. let it idle. then rev it up to 2500-3000. he heard it and said " ok sounds good". got it cleared and everything. no prob
