Got Pulled Over For Exhaust @_@..

I was recently pulled over due to my exhaust being too "loud". I have the xo2 exhaust and I believe it is street legal? Is the xo2 exhaust under the California noise level limt? (95db). Thanks in advance

What the ****? Why can't they pull over all the ****ing choppers that are ridiculously loud?

And I have no idea how loud the X02 is, but it just seems like a reason to pull you over to me. 95 DB is pretty loud I think.

Because most of them had/have Harleys or Mustangs/ Comoros with loud exhaust... most cops leave them alone

If you see a CHP truck/SUV stop and ask if they have a DB meter. I was told they carry them on the trucks.

If it put on 120mm HKS Silencers (UNIVERSAL), will it be able to be checked off by the CHP? And also, I'm wondering if the CHP can ticket me for window tints and no front license on the spot? THanks

Go ask your local Car audio shops. They might have one there also. I got a ticket for the same thing back when i had my CRX with built LSVtec. The stupid cop ticketed my for my exhaust but didn't notice my engine, Gutted interior and roll cage. Anyways i stll felt like the cop was profiling and that was the only reason i got pulled over. So i took him to court. to my surprise i won the case. Judge asked the CHP how do you know his exhaust was too loud? The CHP responded..I can tell by ear hahah. Judge said not good enough. you need scientific proof such as DBing the exhaust with the DB meter. So charge was dropped. If the cop who ticketed you did not test your exhaust with a DB meter. I would do my research and take his A$$ to court.
