so got pulled over 20 min ago.
got a "modified exhaust too loud" ticket.

i have an Espelir JGT 500 catback.
on lancershop.com it says that the exhaust is street legal. that's what i told to the cop and he said that as long as i can provide paperwork saying that the exhaust is below 75db, i will get the infraction taken off.

any of you guys have the paperwork about the exhaust? or maybe know of a site that has info?

thanks.

 

75db?? isnt it soppose to be 93DB if i can remember thats the Limit for an exhaust!!??!!??!

 

damn, u're right...looked it up and it says 95db. damn cop.

so what do i do? i dont want to take the exhaust off.....

 

If you've only got the catback portion on then you may be in compliance. If you can't get a sound data sheet from the manufacturer, you should be able to go to an emissions referee and get a sound test.

 

put the silencer in when you get the sound test down by the smog referee. you should be ok.

 

i have the this Exhaust, it came with a little certificate stating that it is street legal and that it complies with db laws. im in socal as well..

 

^ sweet, that;s what i was thinking.
i just wanted to get away with it without going to the courthouse. takes forever, and parking there is 15 bux
plus i have to take 1/2 day off work.

in all i end up loosing like $100.

 

WTF!!??

*runs downstairs to the garage to look inside the silencer box*

 

i too from So-Cal...damn POPO got nothing better to do but pull us EVO owners over.. i got pulled over for my plates and he told me to pop my hood open. Man i hate when they tell me to pop my hood Plus he told you 75DB for your exhaust hahaaha damn em PIGS...oh well...anyways like everyone is saying PUT the silencer and roll to the emissions referee and you'll pass it hands down. or if you can find a certificate then it'll be more easier.. well hope all goes well...

 

oh man... cali has some CRAZY laws...

 

what happend to 'innocent until proven guilty'? This is 'guilty even though Im not a human decibel meter until you prove to me otherwise'

 

One of the nicest courts ive been too

 

+1, I have the same exhaust and it came with a blue paper with info saying that it is street legal and a "replacement to OEM, not aftermarket..." some legal crap, maybe that will help you out. If you don't have it let us know, I keep mine in my glove box incase I need to bust it out. I can scan it for you

 

FAWK!
so i found this paper in the silencer box......which was in my trunk!!
it even says that it conforms to the code he wrote me up for.....CVC#2751.

damn, i hope i can just fax this paper over to them.

 

The little sheet of paper also says that the silencer may be required to meet noise requirements in some states.
