+1.

I don’t really understand why everyone is making such a huge deal out of this?

If an officer wants to write you a ticket, he’s going to do it. It being for exhaust, tint, modifications, etc. Most likely wouldn’t write you a ‘fix-it-ticket’ in the first place.

You then have the other side of the spectrum, where the officer knows you’re just out having fun, and might just give you a verbal warning, because while he knows you’re having fun, and enjoying your ride, you know you shouldn’t be out there ruining people’s eardrums with your exhaust revs.

Irvine cops have always been hard core about enforcing stupid stuff. When I had an ‘01 Mustang Bullitt I could pulled over and cited simply for smoked headlights. I avoid driving my Camaro to Irvine for work as much as I can. They do seem to target imports more but it all depends on how bored the officer is.

So been driving the car around and ran into a few CHP and cops in near vicinity without even a glance. I suppose if I never got an exhaust ticket before, why would I get one now. The paranoia is starting to die down for now, maybe it was that first of the month, first of the year buzz going on.

Your car is not that loud when you're not pushing it though. I remember it! I guess its a blessing, right?

One driver license and one driver control record recognized by all member jurisdictions, for each driver;
Cooperation among member jurisdictions so that all drivers are required to comply with traffic citations regardless of the jurisdiction where issued;
Reciprocal recognition of driver licenses and offenses related to highway safety;
....
Uniformity among all member jurisdictions concerning the exchange of information on licenses, identification cards, records, convictions, withdrawals and other data related to the driver licensing process;

Looks like the law was just reversed to what it used to be. It's a correctable violation agian.

Are you afraid of getting at ticket? Is that why you've only driven the car 6 times? The allowed decibel limit never charged. If the cops in your area weren't handling out exhaust tickets before, I wouldn't worry about it. I drive by cops all the time with my cut outs open and never get a second look.

ive gotten the ticket before........when it was still a "fix it and pay $25" or pay the full fine for the 1st ($191)

the adjustment that passed and went into effect this january left too much to interpretation about having to take it to inspection.......... my car isnt exactly inspection material lol

[sixty9fordkiller]

this is excellent news!!!!!

[sixty9fordkiller]

it makes VC27150 and VC27151 correctable again!.........or you can pay the $191 and leave it as is again!
