Coming back from picking up my little brother and sister, Im driving down the block obeying the law. 25mph, signal 100ft before a turn, and 5 second stop before making a turn then I see a cop. Knowing what I did, I thought I wasn’t going to get pulled over but then I look in my rear view mirror. Lights flashing so I pulled over. Tells me like my exhaust is too LOUD, Im like WTF!?!:umno: So he asks me the question, have you gotten pulled over for this exhaust, and i was like no. I told him perfectly 50 state legal. So hes like, how do i not know that your not lying to me. I told him call greddy and ask them and look online. He just looked up at me and he kindve stuttered and in the back of my mind, i was like dumbass. He lets me go and tells me that hes gonna look into it. I have nothing to worry about right? i mean it does say 50 state legal on the website. plus ive seen people get $75 fix it tickets even though its a greddy. any info?
Have them give you the dB test… but anything besides stock will be “illegal” … I take it your rear canister is the polished one?
I know people in CA run the RSR ex mag’s since it about as factory as it can get…
all they can see is my round chrome tip. the canister is chrome but its tucked in so u cant see it.
Same thing happened to me with my Greddy MX. Now it’s the time to get it tested for Db. I see your from the bay. I had mine tested at Wyotech in Fremont. Passed with 92Db. I then went to court and fought it. I have RSR Ex Mag now but I still carry the test result from the state Ref in my glove compartment at all times just in case. HTH Good luck.
I’ve been driving around with NO muffler in florida, for over a year.
not so much as a warning.
got a new Bosal replacement muffler coming tomorrow though for $110 shipped.

well florida and cali are a bit different when it comes to laws regarding modding your car.
i think what platinum g2 said is good info to keep with you. Although I m sure the cop could give you a ticket either way. then you’d have to take it to court and show them its less than 95db’s
i know in pa db levels have to be tested at idle
Cali Bay Cops are at it again. OP, I’m going to be as clear as i can for you.
I have a BBP muffler on my car that is not loud at all and is DOT as well as 50 state legal. I keep all papper work from all my mods in my glove box. I’m walking out to my car from jack in the box and a cop pulls up on me. The cop said i have a loud illegal muffler on my car (the car was never started) and he has the right to check the rest of it for illegal mods.
I ended up getting a ticket for the muffler and my AEM even tho i had all paper work to show him.
I go to court thinking ill fight it and (boy was i wrong) the judge was just as fucked up as the cop was. I had a $400 fine plus a trip to the Ref to have the car checked. Thank god the ref was cool and also knew his shit and let me off with out paying shit to him.
Cali cops/courts are all sick of our cars plain and simple and will disregard any proof you have just so they can fuck you in the ass.
OP,if you end up losing this fight,take all paper work with you to the press and fight it that way.
I so would of done that but now i live in Nevada still paying that bill off witch should be my last one.
Think about it. You have a honda that never had any problems with smog.
But every other year when you get that smog paper in the mail,its a (Smog check only) shop you need to go to. And your car “out of know where” fails smog but you don’t know why.
Cali is trying to get our cars off the streets and are paying the shops to fail them. If you don’t have the cash to fish out to fix (what they say if wrong with it) your screwed and have to junk the car.
The state is sick of illegal street racing and are now targeting all imports that they see,and that’s wrong.
My two cents keep paper work with you like platinum said but I think I would get a big resonator put on to make it nice an quiet. As I have one on my car an it not loud at all an I think a lot comes in to play on how your car looks an how you look in your car. Yes I think they profile like mofo but I have had no problems with my car on them pulling me over an Yes i sweat it ever time I see them looking at me an some people on here no my car so
But your a old man and they will look bad stopping a senior citizen:dance::dance:
but i should be koo tho right? i mean the website i just posted by greddy says that its under 95db and its 50state carb legal.
should be do you still have your cat on the b pipe is still factory greddy?
91_LS can’t read well(hehehehe).
if he was able to read, he would of noticed that INTEG- didn’t get a ticket, and just a verbal warning.
wait…are u telling us that ur ebay brand muffler is 50 state legal? i gotta see this one
if you got away without a ticket,your ok. Go to the police office and talk to a Sargent and see what he says. Bring all paper work and if he/she says your ok,get it in righting with there badge number.
You get stopped again because the greddy,shove that paper in there face. But be nice about it:D
