The same law(s) exists in almost every state, the only question is whether there is a sound limit or not.

Texas has a similar version of what California has, except it does not have a specific sound decible limit.

California law is actually pretty flexible in that it allows you to modify the exhaust as long as it complies with the sound limit. For a long time, the state BAR ran a program that allowed exhausts to be shown "in compliance" with the law. This also allowed you to have documentation ready to prove to an officer the exhaust is okay.

For OP, this is actually a great thing... if the car is ever pulled over in the future for an exhaust violation, it's basically a free pass.

But it's okay, easier to hate on California than understand what goes on in your own state.
