I'm pretty sure any regular/reasonable person can tell how loud the ATAK is over what is normally accepted. I don't think that could even be reasonably questioned like maybe a Flowmaster (loud but not ridiculous)
I'm pretty sure ALL the exhaust systems can get you in trouble if you're being a jerk in a parking garage and doing pulls on the street
He didn't have to give you one. Even if someone complains we have the discretion to write a ticket or give a warning.
Question. I assume you're a cop, since you have "illegal" modifications to your car, would you being "caught" result in any harsher punishment than if say I were to get caught? Just curious
No, if I get stopped there is a 99.9% chance the officer is going to say have a nice day as soon as I show him my badge. It's courtesy, I don't know of any officers who write other officers here in South Florida. But, no there would be no harsher punishment, same thing.
Why am I not surprised LoL
Most local noise ordinances are based off reasonableness of the noise. Some have basic distance measurements, such as if a noise is disruptive at 50/75/100 feet, and based on the activity being performed and it's reasonableness. (example: the noise from cutting your lawn will be audible from hundreds of feet, but the activity and noise would be considered reasonable if it's being conducted at a reasonable time). Even if your state allows modified exhaust, you could still be subject to a noise violation.
In VA, anything other than the OEM exhaust is illegal. Doesn't matter if it's street legal or not in terms of dB. You can take all the documentation you want, if it's not factory equipment, you'll lose.
And thats why i love texas. Both cops that pulled me over just wanted to see the car! Then "keep it under the speed of sound, have a nice day"
Borla lagging on their product video but thanks to this guy and cj pony for posting sound clips and comparisons, I'm still wondering how the H pipe kooks cat back sounds like.
