In NY it's not that bad, you only get an exhaust ticket if your caught doing something stupid like street racing or flying through residential neighborhoods. I mean i was in my friends car wen he got pulled over on the Long Island Expressway for speeding and he only recieved a speeding ticket. There not so bad at looking for things to give you a ticket for unlessy our being and a**hole! lol

There is no smog inspection where I live - Louisville Kentucky. People here run their cars with no exhaust at all. In the span of five years, all the vehicles I've owned have been completely catless. You can be as loud as you want. I do have to admit that every time I listen to NPR or read a newspaper, I feel guilty when I come across topics regarding environmental issues. Anyone ever feel like they're not putting in their share in attempting to fix this destructive issue? I certainly do. Its a constant battle between my demonic modification needs and being environmentally responsible. I think I'm starting to cave in. You won't see me driving a Prius anytime soon but I may actually leave a cat or two.
Damnit...car manufacturers need to switch to methanol.

i think it also has alot to do with ricer profiling. my friends and i got pulled over for some idiot in a 240 doing burnouts in the parking lot we were hanging out in pulled him over let him go, called back up we get pulled over after leaving to avoid any of this first cop real nice guy no problems tells me not to street race tell him i dont do that stuff any more. second cop you know theres a noise ordinance and aftermarket exhausts are not allowed right. no. well next time i see you with that exhaust youre getting a ticket i have the ams catback and all of you who have this catback know its not loud at all unless ur wot. any way he never heard my exhuast he just saw the stainless piping and big *** canister haha oh well.

In Washington, the new law is you CAN get an aftermarket exhaust, but it cannot be louder than stock. Luckily for us Evo guys the stock exhaust is pretty loud to begin with so we have a couple of options when it comes to aftermarket exhausts. The Greddy Evo 2 and Tanabe Touring Medallion comes to mind as those are right near the 92db level of the stock Evo exhaust.
The same law applies to bikes as well but enforcement doesn't seem as likely with the choppers as they are with imports.

Motorcycles do not apply to the exhaust law or 95db law because they are smog exempt. Just like how old *** muscle cars can have their motor sticking out of the engine bay and be loud as hell without an issue.
A guy on SoCalEvo installed his old quiet aftermarket exhaust, took it to the ref and got it certified saying that it is legal to have it and meets is no louder than 95dB. After that, changed exhaust out and carries papers.

its bad here in ca, they assume if ur car has modified exhaust thats enough to have a warrent in hand to pop ur hood on the spot. suspision of illegally modified cars modified for street racing. ive been popped 4 times. every time i laugh in the guys face cuz my **** is hella loud (3" turbo back) and hella shiny (1-4" x18" Tip) so they assume im a street racer rather then complain about the noise. they pop my hood and see it looks all stock.. they try to give me **** about the turbo saying how my car never came turbo, also they said the intercooler pipes may be aftermarket (which are stock) so i end up with a ref ticket over my exhaust, which i unbolt take to ref and get signed off, then go home and change it back.
In sacramento and all of CA for that matter..anything beside something that "looks stock" according to the cop is illegal and reason to get pulled over.

kind of true, we have a recon (reconstruction) station you have to go to if you do something to your car that isnt factory, exhaust isnt one of them, but now they have that new law they are tring to pass.
