-.- so i just got a ticket for my exhaust being too loud???? im from philly.......not cali......i know there are laws out there but in philly??? and i wasn't even in a residential area......is this right????? i have a pro 1 exhaust.....which is loud.....but on the ticket the pig wrote, "defective or improper muffler" which is total BS.......what you guys think? im definatly fighting and trust me im gonna win.....but anyone else have this problem from philly or on the eastcoast? thanks~

 

friend of mine got one here in NYC... he got a silencer, went to court but the judge still made him pay... good luck though... make sure you bring proof its DOT legal and maybe get your car inspected

 

What makes you think you're going to win?

 

i live in philly, i hear them riced out hondas and neons ALL the time.. and it seems like they don't ever get a ticket cause you always see them around.. my cousins exhaust fell off so he makes that nasty sound too but no problems yet.

 

We have noise regs down here, but I've never heard of one being enforced.

You should look up what the regs are in your area. Ask the policeman to tell you exactly what decibel level your exhaust was, what it was tested with, when the instrument was calibrated (ask for calibration report), and what training he has to use it.

If he can't provide this information it's really difficult for anyone to tell you with any reasonable certainty that your exhaust was too loud.

 

I got a ticket for this years ago when I was rolling around in my father's Charger (huzzah for parents who keep their old muscle) in Chicago. I just showed a receipt for a legal exhaust kit, along with one for installation, and it was dismissed.

 

let ua know how it comes out

 

SAMMY: That sux! I would put the silencers on and fight it. Good luck!

TOM: What happened to you last Saturday? Did you sell your G?

 

thanks people....and zerogen....what you mean why do i think ill win? .....are you....slow? all my **** is legal and legit.....nothing is wrong with my exhaust....and also the police officer did not test my exhaust with anything......he was going by his ear......i'd say i have a pretty damn good shot at winning huh? ill let you guys know how it turns out~ probably not till a few months because thats how long you have to wait for your court date~~

 

Is huzzah Yittish? I think I heard that at the Toojay's here in Wellington

 

I have no idea. I'm Norwegian and Swedish.

 

good luck in fighting that ticket...exhaust legality is really up the the police officer in question...he can ticket you for anything he wants pretty much. Just because other people have loud exhausts doesn't mean it's legal.

And I do know how loud the Pro-1 exhaust is...I had the first prototype, which I took off because it was too loud.

 

Just curious. What part of the city were you in when you got pulled over? I am in the northern 'burbs and I've got the Invidia G200. It's only really loud at WOT, but you know how often a G35 owner's right foot gets drawn towards the floor, right? Anyway, good luck at court.

 

way to go sammy!
