They'll have to pry my hands off the steering wheel. Wait, make that, they'll have to pry my one hand off the steering wheel, my other hand will be on my gun, the one that they already outlawed.

Jesus christ, a $1000 fine?

I wonder what exhaust it is. I believe California uses a specific decibel limitation, it's not up to the officers discretion, and it's not just "anything aftermarket".

*edit* Looked it up, it's 95 dBa.

Per a Z shootout, here are the levels of a few I found from the 350Z.

First number is @ idle, second @ 3K rpm, tested at 20 feet back. California tests at 50 feet back.

OEM: 81db / 89db
Borla: 88db / 92db
NISMO: 84db / 95db
Stillen: 84db / 93db
Injen: 83 db/ 99db
5Zigen: 87db / 105db

They should absolutely fight that if they aren't running test pipes or something.

*double edit*

He's running a Tomei and probably a test pipe (even race tracks have lower decibel limits), and posts street racing in traffic on his Instagram. He also wrecked a previous Z due to a "truck that came out of nowhere". I'd argue the guy was driving like a jackass and gave the cop cause.

Default ATTENTION! California Z Owners - New Exhaust Law for 2019

Has anyone seen the new Assembly Bill No. AB 1824? it's been all over social media. Basically they're starting to crack down on modified cars with exhausts systems and instead of before where it was correctable, it is now NON correctable and it will be a fine of $1,000.

Here's one of the videos floating around on IG:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfnZSA2qv7M

Is anybody going back to stock or going to modify their exhaust to make it more quieter? LOL

I already saw like 3 modified cars pulled over to the side of the road on my way home from work today.

It may but the shinny mufflers may draw their attention. Who knows. They are just enforcing a cash COW in my book.

CF mufflers.



I think Stillen is even quieter the FI 18" (or maybe it's Berk I am thinking of).

There's a lot of mis-information about the new law. It's not illegal to have a modified exhaust, it just has to be under the maximum db rating of I believe is 95 db's. Not to say that a shiny exhaust won't get you pulled over. Glad my FI canisters are carbon fiber.

I thought CA is all about illegals, why not exhaust systems.

that's correct... Obnoxiously loud exhaust has always been illegal and they are now attached a fine to it. 95db is quite loud.

I personally like exhaust with a nice tone, but not the fart cans that sound like a broken exhaust that scare away the roaches a mile away. And those Harley's with open pipe that wake up the whole city miles away.

Out of curiosity, does this affect the Harley Loud Pipes Save Lives crowd? Not sure if this is an all inclusive noise ordinance or do bikes get a pass?

I got a ticket and ref'd. I'll get it fixed, certified at the ref station, pay the fine, and move on. And it's not 1k. Too much misinformation. Modified and loud exhaust has been on the books in CA for years. Now it's no longer just a fix it. There is now a fine associated to it. It is a shake down. Where the hell does all the money go 'cause this state ain't getting better.

Thanks for the clarification Raf. Didn't the FCC just shut down the idea of charging you guys for text messages to subsidize cell phones for everyone program?

Anything to take money from the people. When will Californians wake up?

I'm inclined to go to trial for my ticket. I was at 35 mph cruising on 4th gear, clearly rpm was low, officer had no db meter to determine that I was more than 95dbs. He came from afar to get to me before the stop and shut the engine. He did not ask me to rev, I had carb stickers on my CAI ( yes he asked me to pop the hood). Clearly has zero evidence that I was at 95db. And did not look underneath to check if exhaust was modified.
