Which skunk2 exhaust system are you running? Do you have a catalytic converter still? Are you running an aftermarket header? More times than not when a company claims their exhaust as street legal, its with OE headers, OE cat, and their catback.

Depends on your local Laws, every state is different.

Here's a clue: Call Skunk2 tomorrow and discuss it with them.

You'll want to check your local vehicle code beforehand, since it is painfully obvious that you don't know anything about it.

50 state legality refers to smog output of the muffler and has nothing to do with decibel level. to find a decibel reading facility, call your dmv they will show you where to go&gt;&gt;&gt;which will be most likely the state ref's location.

in california, the only way to test your decibel level is to get a modified muffler ticket which sends you to the ref.

good luck.

where I live in va the pull me over all the time and I just pay it. Some cops where I live will just pull you over to talk to u and just see what you got. I tell every thing that I have do then tell them I do race, well no on the street. some times if you just talk to them and are nice they will let you go.
