mufflers can be made to OEM spec, not all mufflers are made to make a car louder, plus you have the off-road segment

That's obviously not true, everything is illegal in NY but there are still tons of companies based here selling modified engine and exhuast parts.

me and my brother live in cali and a cop pulled my brother over not to long ago and his exhaust system was loud full h/c/i with and off road bassani x and the cop really just said try to get some 3 chamber flows or something that will get it a little quieter. No ticket because everything was legit and it was smogged so nothing really the cop could have done there. Good luck with this situation

Ive had cops pull my 68 over just to check it out. No one around here cares about exhaust noise. And no emissions here. Rural communities FTW!!

Let see what happens , a friend told me to scan the insurance policy and just change the date and take it to the judge, he tried it 2 times and no problems. As for the exhaust i dont know what is going to happen they have to db meter it.

a visual or by ear ticket should be hearsay imho. because they have no mathematical way of proving speed. as for the dc meter hwo can they do it by ear when fmvss provide strict guidelines in
which the test will be performed etc, the federal test should take precedent and put forth the stipulation of how the test is performed , ex so many rpms with the meter so many feet away, at such and such an angle etc etc.
