Philly SUCKS :loser: !!!!

Why philly it's not philly it's the State doing this not a city.

That is sad. You would think with all the other problems a state can be looking into aftermarket exhaust would be down at the botoom. :shrug: If that bill is passed you are going to have some angry enthusiasts out there. :bash: Hope it doesn't happen.

thats gay. my car is regestered in Pa. Well if they pass it...just have to do e-cutouts

That's weird, because I thought Pennsylvania already had a law similiar to that on the books for years. When I was about 17, which was oh, about 1971, I got pulled over by a Pa State Trooper and was cited for having an "altered exhaust system" on my 1962 Chevy SS 409. The only thing "altered" was the mufflers, which were flow-thru glass packs. I was told that the exhaust system had to be returned to "factory specifications" and had to have it personally inspected by the local judge, which was really odd. I believe the ticket was about $25 bucks, plus the cost incurred to have stock mufflers put on the car, plus court costs for the judges time!! Needless to say, my old man wasn't happy with me, but anyway, that was a law 34 years ago!!
