Exhaust too loud?

[JBrodyA]

so i got pulled over for doing 62 in a 35 by a state trooper in orlando. he told me my tail lights were illegal because they have a white light on them and my exhaust is illegal because "its modified to be louder than nissan originally made it." sounds like bull**** to me.

luckily, no tickets and my tint is very illegal too.

[bigleman]

you got busted, quit being a *****

[choiiiiiiiiiii]

too bad the ricer didn't get what he deserved. a fix it ticket

At 62 in a 35, your tail lights and exhaust should be the least of your worries.

He is correct, tails cannot show any white light whatsoever (unless reversing). There is a technicality in the FL law that allows them to write tickets for aftermarket exhausts...but it's usually a fix it ticket.

Dont drive 62 in a 35 and you'll be ok

If a cop pulls you over in the State of FL for Noise Pullution Ticket

Ask the cop if he has a decable meter and if it has been recently calibrated.

I belive the state of FL is 95db , if your under that then your good.

If he does NOT have a meter , then off you go.

If anyone has issues with loud exhausts in Florida, tell them to come spend four days here in Nashville. They'll never complain again...there are tons of trucks around here that are just straight-piped with huge exhaust tips...

Loud Truck > Loud Car

Too bad most Nashville folk can't drive worth a piss when they're on city streets.

82 dBA @ 50 feet while doing the speed limit. That's fairly loud, given the distance and open air.

[Kquezada28]

he prob pulled you over because you were ricing in a no ricing zone

[Sterling]

You should be more worried about the speed.

I think everyone is over looking the main problem. If you we're going 35-40, you possibly wouldnt hear your "modified exhaust." (as much anyway) Depending on whether you were cruising when you go by him or excelerating. Now you were going 62 in a 35. If I were a state trooper doing my job and happen to hear an exhuast- then clock someone going 62 in a 35. Its probably because your exhuast was out of control loud for this area.
State troopers dont mess around bro and you should be lucky he/she didnt just give you 4 tickets for all the crap you got going on thats illegal on your ride. I'm sure your ride looks great and you want sympathy but the trooper gave you the sympathy already. Go buy your mother or girlfriend something nice with the 400$ you just saved. Pay it forward man

[JBrodyA]

yeah i was racing a buddy in his like 05 max.

i dont see why everyone thinks cuz they rice i do.

aftermarket exhaust does not = rice.

and it had just gone from a 45 to a 35, i think thats why i didnt get a ticket.

anyway thanks for the help for those who gave it, and thanks for the laugh to the ricer kids.

i wasnt complaining, just looking for a bit of info on the laws for exhaust. as far as they go mine isnt that loud and if it is illegal its not by much, i doubt ill ever have to pay for it.

[MattyBlacc]

i have an 03 max headers y pipe etc.... and i just recently put on a stock muffler from a 2008. its way more quiet. sounds nice when u floor it. maybe u can look into that.

I just moved to Louisiana from TN like two months ago. Trust me the loud pipes on trucks increase by like 40 percent when you cross over into La. I think it must be a under lined rule if your 16 and have a z-71 you gotta have glass packs , lol. What ever happened to mangnaflow , flowmaster , etc.

Racing in a 35 mph zone?
Seriously?

That's at least residential, or even maybe a school zone, isn't it?

You must be quite young.
