Is HKS Ti true dual legal in CA?

Don't see why not. If you're talking about db's in sound, I doubt it's over 96db, which I think is the limit. 96 is the limit for dirtbikes and ATV's in Calif. I know that, but not 100% if it's the same for motor vehicles. DMV's site might tell you if it's db you're concerned with.

Beside soound, what about emission?

ken quit asking all these questions and just buy it... you know u want too hahhahahah

I think it is 90db not 96db, but check the DMV to be sure. That being said when was the last time you saw a cop with a sound meter? Unless you're driving like a man man, or involved in some street race I doubt you'll have a problem. With the HKS you'll be happy, so just buy it already.

Exhaust is exhaust. It has nothing to do with emissions unless you thinking of running with test pipes, then that's a different story.

Haha...guess what everyone else says...you like it, you want it.......




















GET IT!!

ken, hks is a true dual catback exhaust.

catback exhaust - meaning it includes all components after the catalytic converters.

catalytic converters is the reason why your car would pass emissions.

therefore, there is no reason for you to worry about passing emissions

note that you can replace your cats with test pipes instead for better sound, but then you car will not pass emissions

hope that explains it :-)

wow, thanks so much. good explaination

Every thing you wanted to know about exhaust per the vehicle code.

In particular 21750 and 21751 is probably what you need to read. 21750(a) is very subjective. It just depends on the officer. I'm not big on citing it mainly because i've modified the exhaust of every car i've owned. And everytime I start my Rat powered 68 Camaro, it shakes the neighborhood. I usually use the section to cite the people who have gaping holes in their muffler.

Exactly what chippie just said.

I got pulled over once and the chp told me that my exhaust was too loud. Funny thing is the car was off. I made a big deal about it being quiet which it was. He told me to turn it on and as soon as I did he said, "Too loud." It's whatever the cop says it is until you go to court.

But to be fair, I had another officer pull me over and told me he'd let my exhaust slide*. He just wanted me to put on my front plate.



*Slide? It was 50 state legal and quiet (compared to other exhausts). The greddy catback I had was only loud at WOT.

The major exhaust companys will not sell systems that are either to loud or
don't meet Ca. smog requirements. Headers are not legal
in our state unless specified. Nobody makes hi-flow cats that are legal
replacements for us in Ca. Almost makes you want to move......Not!

Ken,

When I got my HKS Ti exhaust, I was told that it was CA 95db compliant. The HKS comes with 4 resonators, 2 at the mid section and 1 on the side of each muffler assembly.

Any exhaust with 95db or lower is legal.

I guess I'll take my whistle tip off

If its not stock they can give you a ticket for it. Anything you change they can give you a ticket for. It just depends on the cop.
