Need help( exhaust ticket)

[marky]

wow i feel you... i had a HKS on my DC2 for like 3/4 years and passed by cops no problem and one day a cop pulled me over because it was too big

500$ ticket / had to get smog test / had to go to police station to get it check and signed ticket / go to court and see a judge and plead guilty.. about a 600$ ticket after thats california for you.. thats why im a bit hesitant to get a exhaust still.. im going with a dual stock exhaust style like stock... i dont want a can exhaust type where cops will get an eye on it

[clayrush]

500/600 O.o I got a ticket for a loud exhaust when my celica was completely stock. it was like 175. But I went to a ref with a decibel meter and passed me. Back when the first fast and the furious movie came out all my Japanese import friends were getting pulled over at lot more.

Some people actually have authority over other people to create and/or enforce laws regulating things they know nothing about. It's insane.

You dont know what a GReddy Evo 3 exhaust is? there all over the forum

Looking at a photo of the Greddy I could see why a cop low on his ticket quota could pull you over, it's not exactly a subtle looking system with those huge tips and the fat cans right behind them.

I like four cylinder engines, but in my opinion, they never sound very good - no matter what exhaust is on them.

He told me that it wasnt the loudness but that Greddy was not street legal and somethhing like my mufflers are to close to my body panel?, and he handed me a 157$ ticket...

Btw i have a greddy evo 3 exhaust ( no silencers) and a nameless downpipe( if it matters).

Is there anything i can do? this doesnt seem right for some reason......

im in montreal quebec, canada.

thx if you can help me out.

chapter C-24.2 is the Highway Safety Code of Quebec.

212.1. The Société may require the removal, repair or modification of any equipment on a road vehicle that has not been installed by the manufacturer of the road vehicle if the equipment presents a risk for road users.

1998, c. 40, s. 69.

Good working order.
213. All equipment prescribed in this Code must be kept in good working order at all times.

Applicability.
1986, c. 91, s. 213; 1998, c. 40, s. 70; 2003, c. 8, s. 6; 2006, c. 3, s. 35; 2008, c. 14, s. 24.

Prohibited alterations.
214. Except with prior approval from the Société, no person may

(1) make, on a road vehicle intended to be operated on a public highway, alterations to the chassis, alterations to the body or to a mechanism if susceptible of reducing the stability or braking capacity of the vehicle or any other alteration that would transform a vehicle into a vehicle of another type;

(2) make alterations on or to a motor vehicle or combination of road vehicles that does not meet the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Statutes of Canada, 1993, chapter 16) and that is intended to be operated on a public highway for testing purposes.

1986, c. 91, s. 214; 1987, c. 94, s. 42; 1990, c. 19, s. 11; 1996, c. 56, s. 144.



And just for the kick of it.. this one's funny

214.0.1. This Title does not apply to a self-propelled aerial basket.... WTF is that anyways?? a blimp??

Now, you may want to check that your exhaust is compliant with emissions and other regulations under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act, which it probably isn't and the officer would've been correct. But I don't think he was in a position to judge whether it is compliant or not, maybe why he used the prosimity to bumper excuse. What he should've done is order an inspection of the vehicle for compliance, which he is allowed to do... but he probably was right in his assumption that it is not compliant.

So proceudres-wise, he was not right, but he probably was right in the fact that your exhaust is not compliant. Following an inspection they usually just require that you change the part and come back for a second inspection. But you don't usually get a ticket. Oh well.. fight it if you wish, but for 150$, it may not even be worth your time.

Even though I live in California, my city has so much real crime and such a small police force for it's size. The cops around my area tend to leave us alone.
But in this city my house is more likely to get broken in to :P

Stuff all your valuables into your exhaust every night. Win/win.
