My friend Rachel was driving my camaro tonight, and she got pulled over. Cop said she took notice of my car because of excessive noise when driving under an overpass. She took notice of the exhaust, which dumps after the differential (doesn't continue out the back). She didn't get a ticket, just a warning, but here's the question:
"The statute I looked up says nothing about the tailpipes being an issue, But how loud is too loud?"
I must say my car is not too loud. It has a heavy rumble, but is not excessive.
I just think this whole thing is a load of crap, and laughed when I heard about it.
Regardless of the warning, the tailpipes will never be extended out the back, and I will never put any other mufflers on that car but the Flowmaster 40 series that are on it.
The warning is framed and hanging on my wall as we speak.
