Will you get a ticket? If you speed [8D]

Exhaust tickets on nicer cars aren't real common. If you were driving a 87 station wagon with no mufflers, yeah, you might get a ticket for it. Is it possible? Yes. Likely? No.

But, it IS more likely to draw attention to yourself, both good and bad. You might get an extra look or two from Johnny Law, so keep that in mind before you drive stupid.

yea if you did a catted X then the LM1s wouldnt be absolutely obnoxious. id say go for it, cops shouldnt give you any problems, especially if you have cats and mufflers, as a matter of fact they cant, mufflers and cats makes you legal

Many cities have noise ordinances that cover loud exhaust though. In that case, it doesn't necessarily matter if you have cats/mufflers.

But, like I said before, those laws are mainly made for piece of crap cars with rotted/no exhaust to speak of.

You need to find out the noise limits in your town.

BTW, those LM1's won't just bolt/weld in. They are straight through & not off-set like your factory mufflers. It's going to take a little fab work. Nothing major for a shop..but just a FYI

Its not that hard. Just throw it in N, or hit the clutch when you see a cop, and dont be an idiot on busy streets. Shouldnt be a prob.

How many times do you see a cop looking underneath someone's car for cats on a traffic stop?
