colin, sorry that you couldn't run today man, were you able to get everything taken care of?
Thanks,
Looks like I'll be back up there tomorrow. Might as well take the opportunity to not empty the trunk and leave the car filthy.

Ross Twp Cops - Muffler noise levels?

So..I don't get to go racing because I have to travel on business. So how does my Sunday morning start?

Ross Twp cop pulls me over on McKnight rd. and gives me a warning about the noise level of my muffler/exhaust. I have five days to fix it.

I am researching now...going to contact the attorney. But I was under the understanding you can modify a cars exhuast as long as it passes emissions, and the decibal loudness does not go over a certain amount.

The problem is...I can't find out what that decibal number is. It appears motorcycles and ATV's are in the 95 and 99 decibel ranges. I can't find anything about cars.

Anyone have any information?

My launch control is set really freakin' high...a bit too high for my liking. I just keep the revs up, slip, dump and go. I got some wheel hop on that run, as well as the run after.

First Run: 12.91@107.0 w/1.81 60ft
Second Run: 12.87@106.6 w/1.78 60ft
Final Run: 12.86@109.1 w/1.90 60ft

My worst 60ft gave me my best ET and trap speed...go figure. I think I might have been shifting faster and higher in the rpm band - I was trying to run down a WRX on my last run (I got him ). If I could get a lower 60ft and combine that with better shifting, I should have been able to hit 12.6 or 12.7 I think.

Thanks - oh and it was a good time hanging out with SteelCityEvo. He brought his little girls out to the drags so that they can get used to racing in a couple of years. Good camera man as well...i'll post my 12.87 vid soon enough.

Wow, I've never heard of someone getting harassed because of an exhaust. I've heard a lot louder exhausts than 4 cylinder evo's. The general rule from PennDOT I think is a 95 db limit measured 20 inches from the exhaust. I think stereo systems have to meet the 80 db limit.

Thats just silly, and im sure the cop drives a 67 goat too.

I would personally follow him on a nice day, and video the 100 harleys that rip by with the vtwin super loud "they claim its for the saftey and so people can hear em coming"

I wouldnt fix it. take the fine and rub it in their face
