loud exhaust thread
-
The law is as follows
39-21-37. Muffler - Prevention of noise and smoke.
- Every motor vehicle must at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and annoying smoke, and no person may use a muffler cutout, bypass, or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a highway.
- The engine and power mechanism of every motor vehicle must be so equipped and adjusted as to prevent the escape of excessive fumes or smoke.
This is the one I got a warning ticket for on the 16th of this month. Just east of the junkyards on Highway 2 near Grand Forks. I have a complete exhaust with a welded on aftermarket muffler. No violation there. The officer was 265 - Steve L. Johnson I had two cops parked behind me on the highway. Steve got upset when I asked if there was reference to the century code so I could go look it up and bring my car in compliance with the code. He then went off about how he could take me to jail right then. I just let him go off. Funny thing is, he didn't ticket me for not having a seat belt on. It was broken and Mazda finally got the parts in this past weekend and I got it replaced under a lifetime recall warranty.

253 erdmann was his name. and wannabe, take a big suck out of my ass. i have an exhaust on my truck. he was looking for something. dont know what, but it was rediculous to be on one side of the highway, and chase me down to tell me i had a loud exhaust. and he gave me a copy of the cc to look at. that and the description on the warning ticket dont match up.

You have shit that is illegal done to your car, don't complain, especially if you got off with a warning. BTW I don't like the taste of dick, so I won't be sucking your ass anytime soon. Grow the fuck up.

True, well said( I could have thought of a better way of saying it without being an asshole).
I run an open header on my motorcycle, very loud, and slightly annoying (only sounds good wide open or idle). If I got a ticket, I would just pay the fine and keep the exhaust. If they have enough time to stop me for loud exhaust, they should stop every hardley davidson on the road. During the Sturgis Rally, getting pulled over for loud exhaust is nearly unheard of, haha wonder why?

me and my friend always get hustled in his built talon during the summer. one cop gave him a exh. ticket for loud exhaust. iv been pulled over a few times with just the engine at idle driving down the street.
but i guess haveing a 3in turbo back to a glasspack then out the side right before the rear wheel doesnt help either.
iv been also pulled over 5 times in my old talon with just a cannon on it and no other exhaust mods besides a test pipe...damn hps

got exhaust tickets... for having loud exhausts? someone should fire that cop!agreed but if they issued tickets to ever car that was not "up to standards" we could feed the entire continent of africa from all the fines

The ordinance really is bs it is all based on an officers opinion, well that doesnt really work they need to set a db limit to make it a reasonable law. If your car is too loud at a low rpm you need to fix your exhaust if they hear you at WOT you deserve to get pulled over for being a dumbass. Pay more attention to who is around before you go racing around.

I too have been complimented by cops on my exhaust. One local and a highway patrol. But my car is pretty quiet, loud exhaust doesnt mean its good exhaust by any means, i bet mine flows better than 90% on this board and is alot quiter than most as well. hell i drove around with an open downpipe for a month and a half and didnt get harassed. Examples are glasspacks for one, those are about the most restrictive muffler you can put on a car, and have been proven to cut power in almost every situation. Also they dont make them any quieter so whats the point.
Point is, get a good, somewhat quiet, quality exhaust system and quit bitching about it. Think i have about $290 in my entire system, and thats 4", so you guys can afford it im sure.

What are you saying? I guess I don't follow. If you are complaining about being profiled, and the cops not pulling over harleys or big trucks... buy a harley or a big truck.... just because they get away with it, doesnt mean you can. I agree it is messed up but incase most of you haven't figured out yet, there are a lot of inconsistancies in life, learn to cope....
