State ref

hbz34 · 11-24-2018, 09:20 PM

Got it, I guess I’ll have to make it stock which is going to be annoying. Seems like he just wanted to pull someone over cuz I did nothing wrong, He gave me a break on something’s but still got me for others. Could I still drive the car now, having just got a ticket or should I not move it until I get that fixed? I’ve been scared to take it and get pulled over again with a fresh ticket.

Is your car too loud, I think 95db max is the limit. You can download a db meter app on your phone and get an idea of how loud it is. You'd have to find out what the distance is to hold the meter away from your exhaust pipe for testing.

If it were me I'd find out if it really is too loud before I put my stock exhaust back on. Unless the cop used a decibel meter to test your car, he could be wrong and your car is fine. The state ref would confirm that.

Yeah it’s pretty loud like if your driving normal it’s good not loud, but once you get on it’s stupid loud lol. Plus I have test pipes I think that alone would not slide.

You'll definitely have to put your cats back on before you go to the ref. Might as well go completely back to stock for the inspection.
