Advice: Has anyone had neighbors etc. complain about the loudness of their exhaust?

They are pretty bad in the renton area, police speaking regarding modified cars, but they usually don't bother the nice cars, only ticket the Hondas and **** boxes rolling around.

So is it really illegal to have an aftermarket exhaust in washington state? Or is that an old rule that was thrown out and superseded by federal rule of meeting a certain loudness

And we have a Infiniti and Nissan club up here called PNW_INC. Our club takes best infiniti and Nissan at most shows. We have the nicest infiniti's and Nissans in the pacific northwest in this club. Invite only, but if you get out here come to the shows and you will spot the clubs logo.

No worries ever in Texas. Cars, bikes, and trucks everywhere running loud pipes. No one cares and no one complains.

State law was originally set to 95db, but then the Washington state patrol pssed a bill a few years ago that changed it to anything other than "stock", so yes you can get a ticket for it, no one in our club has gotten one in a while from what I know, have over a hundred members. I have hands down by a mile the loudest and most noticeable exhaust and haven't had any issues in the year I have been disturbing the peace with it. But yes they can ticket you, but mostly the chit boxes get the tickets. 2009+ have no emission testing in this state.

Great to know! im debating whether to spend the long hours installing headers if its a "fix it" ticket, as test pipes would be easier to put on and off.

I was expecting to be doing a lot of this when I bought the tomie and the Z1 test pipes. But haven't had to yet, and I don't plan on taking it off either.

Japanjay · 03-02-2015, 09:16 PM

Spend the hours, no inspections or emission tests. I am going to be picking up a set of momentum and his Z1 manny hopefully soon.
