Muffler Recommendations

[jetice]

Did he write you up for not having a muffler or for your car being too loud?

Which makes it even more BS that you don't see them pulled over for the same thing. I have nothing against them, just looking for a little consistency

if he has the slp loudmouth system he has a resonator, which is the "muffler" which I believe is legal, especially in states without emissions

I fully get that, I just walked over the the Police side of my office and asked just to see. His response was if I ever pulled someone over for exhaust (he said he never has nor never will) that it would be because he suspects something else and that cop must have been having a bad day or in a shit ass mood But he opened the law book and in some funky lingo it basically said if a cat and muffler are present then its legal. So maybe the cop didnt know what a resonator is or he probably didnt ask at all he just went on noise. There is however a "noise" violation in that case he'd have to dispute the DB level of his car.

As far as headers, 2011 GT's pretty much come with them stock

I am not sure how Harleys get away from it I have no idea and not saying they have mufflers either.

He doesnt have a muffler, that is what makes it illegal.

Correct. I have the resonator but no muffler.

He doesnt have a muffler, that is what makes it illegal. I have been pulled over for mine as well and the officer actually looked under my car (well as low as he can get as my car sits on the ground lol) to see if my exhaust was legal. He was basically looking for a cat (which I dont have just a pipe there) and a muffler. He saw that was all there and told me I really should get my leaks or something fixed If you dont have a muffler I am pretty sure that is what makes it illegal.

I would dispute it for sure, exhausts that are aftermarket can be perfectly legal and I believe that one is as well. If you don't have headers and just the catback I'd go down to the station and have them do a db test and sign off the ticket that should be perfectly fine by the law.

After he gave me the ticket, I started the car and made sure it was loud as I pulled away. You're right, wrong place, wrong time. I bet he hasn't pulled over any Harley's for loud exhaust. The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off.

Sounds like he doesn't know the law, and was just on a power trip.

[01CAMAROSS]

Thats exactly it. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time

Although, if I got a ticket for that, I would have been loud as hell after I had my ticket. lol.

Yep, I pulled out from my sub onto Middlebelt and he pulled right up behind me. When the light turned green, he pulled me over and gave me the long drawn out story about my exhaust being illegal. It's really not loud unless I get on it (which I didn't). I'm sure everyone here has heard a similar system or even has the same set up. In his words, if it doesn't have the same exhaust system that the car rolled off the assembly line with, it's illegal. Whatever, I'll get a muffler put on it and be done with it. He must have been having a bad day.

why is this? Please don't tell me you got a ticket for your exhaust

You're right, I think I'll put the LM2 on it. It originally had the LM2 but the previous owner removed it. I have 21 days from yesterday to put one on!

If you have the SLP LM1, maybe the SLP LM2 would be perfect and it is a direct swap.
