is your exhaust over your stated decibal limit? If so, not much you can do. they'll probably give you a fix it ticket.

Did they cop check to see if it was in fact an aftermarket exhaust?

Did he check the decibels of the exhaust?

If not then he has no proof that it's illegal. If he noticed it wasn't a stock exhaust then yes you are in violation.

well since im pretty sure you can't have aftermarket exhaust in NY I WOULD sell the entire system, put your catback on, and get a 3" dp with an electric cutout..... food for thought.... you might even earn money if you can get the right parts

Christ im glad i live in missouri.

here you have to be over a certain db to be illegal. But due to the cops not carrying db meters much less having a set standard for measuring the db (how close the meter is supposed to be) most exhaust tickets get thrown out unless your missing a cat or something like headers only l

I love Nebraska because there are like no exhaust laws. That I know of lol. So many damn ricers with cherry bombs and **** though. Seems to be like a very large amount of civics with fart cans lol.

Yup new york sucks, any exhuast mod is illegal, any window tint other then what comes from the Factory(70%) is illegal, any modification to your taillights is illegal.

But like they say, looking good aint cheap.....
