As it stands, if you invented a way to make you car burn pure evil and emit only rose petals, it is still illegal. If the goal is truly emissions, then that should be the test. I don't think people should have the right to dirty every else's air, but state government shouldn't have the power to blanket outlaw a person from modifying their own property if it doesn't infringe the rights of others. Just my $.02. Last edited by candygram4mongo; 02-14-2019 at 04:31 PM. Reason: need to proofread. |

The real issue to me, and forgive me if I'm not 100% up to date on Cali laws, is none of these laws ever distinguish between a weekend toy and a daily driver. To that end, it is discrimination. My weekend toy is loud and obnoxious, and probably pollutes a lot. It also gets driven less than 1,000 miles a year and has little to no environmental or noise pollution impact. Thankfully, my state has provisions for this kind of stuff but I'm also having to hide behind 25 year antique plates. If I wanted a brand new car like this, I'm risking a ticket. My daily drivers would pass an emissions test (not required here) and make normal levels of noise. I can't stand people abusing this, especially the ones that cop an attitude because they feel entitled to the right to wake up the whole neighborhood at 4 am. They truly do ruin it for the rest of us but still I have a hard time respecting the rules when they could be written instead to only target the problem. |

This law change is only related to the sound aspect of a catback only exhaust, which is an issue. People can bitch about cats and stuff if they want, but it is a federal law being broken when removed whether your state has a law or not. And it would just get abused since so many ignor the current laws anyway
