Depends. just don't drive like a Dbag and you can be just fine. Depends on the department in the vicinity.
Was driving my Cobra when I was 17 with no cats, x-pipe and mufflers, never got a ticket for it :shrug: Added high flow cats almost 2 year's later. I've gotten pulled over for no front plate and one time for speeding 5 over limit, both times was let go with a warning and nothing about exhaust.Or if you are young like me (21 but look like I'm 18) you have no chance it's a 90% chance I get pulled over. Hell I once got pulled over because I didn't get out of the cops way(Didn't have his lights on). He told me "you have to get out of an emergency vehicles way whether their lights are on or not." Cops are dicks around here in the bay area when you are young with a fast car, but again I have met a few cops that enjoy them and tell you to do illegal things. haha :coolman:
You're an ill informed pile of dog shit.

My question is, how can you get an exhaust ticket when the exhaust system is 50 state legal?
I never really got bothered for my full mac setup in NJ because its loud enough to grab attention/sound good and quiet enough to slide by law enforcement. Now on the other hand my buddies ride with SLP full exhaust got pulled over many times as he owned the car for quite sometime now. My question is, how can you get an exhaust ticket when the exhaust system is 50 state legal? Also, it is nearly impossible to keep stock exhaust system from factory because the system usually fails after a certain number of years, and for common models out there, there really isn't a replacement.
you don't have to be john force to tell if an exhaust is modified or stock.
What's the law in ohio? I had collectors plates on a 99 Cobra because it qualified due to it being a 30th Anniversary car. Exaust had headers, off road X, and magnapack cat back. LEO's would roll up on my loud car all the time, see the collector plate, and then back off. I don't think a collector plate allows you to have an illegal loud exhaust though. Never had a problem.
When a company states "50 state legal" they're talking about emissions. But I'm sure your buddy doesn't have cats and with those super loud SLP's I'm sure is pretty damn loud.
Alright I see what you guys mean now. Actually he has the high flow catted system but its loud anyways because he's ripping it half the time lol.
Hitler_07RR, bit sensitive? tploeNice way of sneakily bashing the cop, do you think that flies on this forum? Making it sound as if personal jealously made him issue something for a traffic law violation?
Wrong section to do that, gtfo
(c) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale any muffler which causes excessive or unusual noise or annoying smoke or any muffler cutout, bypass, or similar device for use on a motor vehicle or for any person to use, to sell, or to offer for sale any motor vehicle equipped with any such muffler, muffler cutout, bypass, or similar device. Any person violating this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
If your exhaust meets all of the above except part C you are 100% with in the law. Take pictures to court showing it qualifies and ticket will be droped. Part C is for people selling and has nothing to do with you driving down the road.
Seems like I filled my CVPI up 2-3 times per 12 hour shift.

Get your pedal off the floor board and you wouldnt have that problem... Ive never had to do that, granted I work in a small town, but it has 86 roads and the run for 12 hours straight damn near.
