Just wondering how many people on here have oversized/enlarged exhausts? I got a warning tonight, after I just payed off my exhaust ticket last week. Not even that loud in this weather, gotta keep the revs low. Just something else to nail me on I guess. So who here has exhausts and who has got tickets from them?

No real reason to know, just seeing if everyone else is getting the same hassle. I was pulled over tonight because I was driving with a frosted windshield, driving to warm up my car which had a frozen gas line.

how big are your guys' exhausts? 6" coffee cans? they usually dont give 2 shits unless it sounds like a lawn mower on steroids.

mines a 4" n-1, But the thing is that it fits closer to the bumper as is less noticable than when I had an exhaust on my crx. It was angled, stuck out and louder, never got pulled over.

I got one in my MR2 last year, but it was well deserved now that i think about it( well i knew at the time , just didnt want to admit it!).... i can gaurantee that my car was one of the loudest in the City!( on purpose anyway) many people can vouch for that! .... 2 feet of pipe with a 5zigen fireball and no cat or resonator will do that! :D

i have never been hassled, but ive only had it on since the end of summer. my exhaust is currently a big 4" tip, 2" straightpipe w/ resonator.

it sounds very quiet when i drive normally, but screams when i push it.

I've got an oversized muffler ticket, and on another occasion I was pulled over and asked to rev my car...the officer determined that isn't wasn't overly loud and let me go.

I went to court to argue against the oversized muffler, but because it does violate the restrictions (not oem) the best that I could do was get the fine cut in half.

You guys with oversized muffler tickets, what's the size of your tips?

I had a 2.5 inch mandrel bent catback on my last car... but I kept the tip size at 2.5 inch as well. It was fairly loud, but never any problems with that for over a year.

How much does the ticket cost for an oversized exhaust?

Seems to me that it's kind of dumb that it's legal to sell the oversized exhaust, but illegal to have one on your car. I think cops realize this so they only get the people who have stupid loud exhausts...

I got fart cans on both my cars, but never had an exhaust ticket(knock on wood). One is pretty loud, and the other isn't so loud. :dunno: :D
