Here is the law. VTL 37531 _31. Mufflers and exhaust systems. Prevention of noise. Every motor vehicle, operated or driven upon the highways of the state, shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler and exhaust system in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise and no such muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cut-out, bypass, or similar device. **No person shall modify the muffler or exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor or exhaust system of such vehicle above that emitted by the muffler or exhaust system originally installed on the vehicle and such original muffler and exhaust system shall comply with all the requirements of this section.** A muffler is a device consisting of a series of chambers or baffle plates, or other mechanical design for the purpose of receiving exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine, and effective in reducing noise. An exhaust system is a series of mechanical devices for the purpose of receiving exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine and expelling it into the atmosphere. 31-a. No person shall, **in the state, sell, install or use** a motorcycle exhaust device without internal baffles, known as “straight pipes”. 31-b. No person shall, **in the state, sell, install or use** a motorcycle exhaust device that is intentionally designed to allow for the internal baffling to be fully or partially removed or interchangeable. This subdivision shall not apply to a motorcycle manufactured or assembled prior to nineteen hundred seventy-nine or a **motorcycle registered as a limited use vehicle** or an all terrain vehicle pursuant to article forty-eight-A or forty-eight-B of this chapter._ Very interesting. Basiclly, in the first section I see that it doesnt state that there is anything that WILL NOT allow you to change out your factory exhaust, as long as it was replaced with a muffler with baffels or chambers that effectivly reduce the engine noise, and that the replacement system doesnt exceede the OEM sound output. Also the thing about the cutouts suck. That is short sweet and to the point, not sure how you could get around that one. Also the motorcycle pipe thing. If you read that law, i what stops an officer from going over to Griffens, Phibs, One the pipe… and just giving them a ticket. Cant sell or install! I dont see anything around this, for people with modified exhaust… other than dont get caught. ---

This is very true. EVERY single car I have owned with an exhaust, I have got tickets for, that was an import. I have B&B Bullets on the vette and haven’t even so much as had a second glance. And they are LOUD. It is def. related to rice. If I were a cop I would want to hear thunder rolling down the street too. Not the sound equivalent of a chainsaw or single prop airplane. ---

Muffler raceists! :vlad I got ganked i think becasue of my black bumper cover on my grey jetta. it looked a little different and they figured why not. Every car, bike and toy I have had has been piped. I got one in my old mini truck too, but non in the other cars i had. its just a reason they use to pull over who they want to. While i was sitting there 2 full sized truck went by with duals out the back and the a hole behind me didnt even look up. I cant wait to build an old rat rod, post 1969. they dont apply to this law!

They see the flashy car, and hope to see a splif or a line of coke on a hookers ass in the back seat. so they yank us and cross their fingers. then when your clean you get a damn ticket.
