well that regulations pdf does not state that it has to stay the stock size. What i would fight it with is that a larger exhaust gets better gas mileage and allows for a much cleaner burn as there is a little more retention time due to the extra space with a high flow cat.

I believe that the cop looked at my exhaust tip and that's what he went by because it's a 4.5 inch hahn tip but it's still a 3 inch in and out muffler from borla so I would probably get away with it

 

Why don't you call a cop shop and ask them what the law really is? Then it's black and white.

 

I have been nailed under two different sections for tint. The most common one being the 'window glazing' which carries the 57 doller ticket, the other one was for unsafe vehicle equipment which carries a larger fine (over 100 bucks). Its all revenue generation, they dont give a rats ass about your personal saftey blah blah blah. ****** cops

i have the traafic act somewhere on my computer, see if i can find it.

 

lol u can.... every cop has dyff story...... beleve a judge or maybe lawyer would tell ya...... seen ya sylver.....

 

jon if you read the packaging for any aftermarket part, doesn't matter what it is, headlights, exhaust, supercharger kit. they all say "for off-road use only". this is how aftermarket companies can continue operating legally because they put that on the packaging. and in some cases i've seen it stamped right on the part itself.

 

Headlights are DOT approved so they aren't for off road use only. A magnaflow exhaust does not say its for off road use only.

It's only stated when you choose to run no cat that they say that. At least that's what zzp's website says

 

^ believe me he has every box...

 

my headlights came with a card that says that they are DOT approved. so if i get pulled over for them, he cant do anything

 

this means that whoever manufactured them went through the entire process and had them DOT tested. same with your exhaust, they go through the extra testing to make sure they meet the law requirements.

with exhaust aftermarket parts that are for performance they tell you to check with your local laws to check to see if its legal or not in your area.

if its 100% OEM replacement then there is no need to worry.

magnaflow for instance has it on their site. granted this one is directed towards the US for part of it but the same goes for all other aftermarket manufacturers

small queston..... what dyd your hahn box say? lets also remember the new sound bylaws..... f you catch where marc s goyng too..... just sayng yf the cop wants to be a ass he wyll.....

 

hahn's website is pretty vague when it comes to that, only specifically mentions california as being legal to be sold only for race vehicles and not for public highways

bottom of the page http://www.turbosystem.com/auto/faq/faq.htm

and back to the headlights, if im not mistaken (and i could be) all the aftermarket housings reuse the stock lens which would have the DOT approved embedded on it but because its been modified, no longer meets DOT approval

example. when i modified my stock lights and took them apart, i voided the DOT certification when i did that.

 

mine arent stock lenses. stock lenses have the vertical lines on them, mine is just a clear lens

 

do they have DOT certified with a DOT number etched into them?

 

havent looked, but they came with a card that says they are DOT approved

 

then they probably do have it printed on them.

 

probably

 

Never got the box with the Hahn exhaust. Bought it used

 

I'm sure you should be able to get a PDF from their website.

 

lol got 5 bucs on yt?lol

 

But still. I don't have the Hahn muffler or resonator. Just the 3 inch piping of theirs

 

lol all sayng f the cop wanna be a ass he wyll be a ass.... lol

 

this is sooo very true, get a bad day cop ur fucked, few years back this cop was having a bad day, took it out on me wrote me three seperate tickets for tinting, even his partner told me to go to court and fight them. PoPo are corporate thugs, walking around with a chip, bullying the general law abiding public.

speaking of a chip, i happen to have a recent vid of a local thug at his finest. (some on gmtoc may have seen already.
