ticket

[mitoman212]

I got a ticket last night on my way home from a friends house. The cop pulled me over for an "alltered muffler" he said u cannot change ur muffler in florida. The ticket says Muffler Altered Excessive Noise/ Warnning on tints section - 316272. I think this is a bull shit ticket.

Excessive noise they can site you for. Check you local statutes regarding the modified exhaust, but it is probably wrong.

Best bet is to research the legal noise limit and have your exhaust tone measured.
Research the modified exaust laws.
If you find they you were within the limits of the law, take it court.

is your car stock? if so, you can probably get something from honda to state it is stock.

buddy of mine got a ticket for his stock Si exhaust :[

where can you get your exhaust tone measured?

You should be able to get it done at a reputable muffler shop. Or somewhere that checks Smog.

Word up homie

[mitoman212]

its a skunk 2 70mm by the way and i was running it with out the silencer

[ImTheVoiceOfGod]

Oh wow, I can tell you then, you are over the decibal limit. That exhaust is way too loud.

[simplicated1979]

^^yeah that'll attract attention for sure...^^

[krytikal]

does the greddy ti-c go over the decibal limit?

[ImTheVoiceOfGod]

I dont believe so. But the skunk 70mm is WAAAAAY loud

[krytikal]

i havent come across any si's with the skunk2 70mm...im gonna have to check it out on youtube or something. i was thinking of getting the ti-c. some cops are strict around here. i used to get pulled over in my ek-9 but thats cuz i had race headers and a straight pipe (no cat lol).

[ImTheVoiceOfGod]

You add race headers too almost any exhaust and it will go over the limit.

Skunk2 website says 105db w/o silencer. Put in a silencer and you get max 9 db improvement (65% less noise for those of you who don't know dB conversions), which is still 96dB. Washington state is 80dB max and most states are around that limit. I have the 70mm and no tickets yet. I keep the silencer in though.

I know none of this info helps your case, just presenting the facts: we all know the exhaust is too loud lol

[Phalanx]

As far as I know... skunk2 70mm is the only exhaust that, while using the stock header, goes above the decibel limit.

[knowledge_6]

unless they whip out a decibel reader then they have no evidence in court ... just like a speeding ticket... they need a Radar reading to pull u over and have proof..

they can't tell the judge "it sounds too loud" ... thats how i got off on my ticket for my old car.. i told the judge he didn't have a reading on how loud it was.. then she said something along the lines of no evidence etc..

but i don't know the laws down there.

[mitoman212]

I dont think he took a reading he never even moved his patrol car that was right behind me or had me rev the engin r anything. I just want to kno the facts before i tell my parents.
