I was told by a few cops that any modification to your exhaust system that makes it louder than when it left the factory is illegal. It has nothing to do with inspection. ---

These are some of the fucking stupidest responses to a post I’ve ever seen. What is it with the past batches of new guys fucking sucking? If it doesn’t answer his question shut the fuck up already. Where’s my man Fry when we need him? OP: When I got my inadequate muffler ticket I just repaired the exhaust pipe, took it to a inspection station and they wrote it was fixed. The cop said I could also take it to the police station within 24 hours and they’ll write it up. Good luck. ---

I got a ticket in OP, all i told the prosecutor was that the officer didnt have a decibel meter and therefore, the loudness was only his opinion. I also pointed out that the car passed NYS inspection. Case dismissed. ---

> [@FormulaLS1](#): > > I wonder where these cops are that care about loud exhaust…I drove around with open headers half the summer… Seriously I have no idea. When I had the tbird with the bassani race mufflers and the 4’’ exhaust with headers, I never got into trouble with that car. ---
