PSA: Modified exhaust no longer correctable

CVC 27150 is at the core, but it is not the section that lists over 95db. That is 27151, which is listed separately as an exclusion. So does this mean any exhaust can be written up under 27150 even if at/under 95db?

Yes it can, I've gotten a ticket for a modified exhaust and was explicitly told that it wasn't too loud, just modified.

Well that sucks. Do you remember what the cost would have been if not corrected?

How modified? Like no cats, or just a catback?

Did it make an "unusual" noise? What exactly is a "usual" exhaust noise anyway?


27150.

(a) Every motor vehicle subject to registration shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise

Sounds like some commie bull shit.

No cats opens up a whole new set of laws both Federal and State. Depending on where you are a ticket for noise could be the least of your worries if you get caught with no cats.

sort of off topic but what aftermarket exhaust do you guys think looks the most OEM?

Not including anything that can come pre installed from a dealership (aka TRD like exhausts)

My Perrin 2.5 resonated catback looks extremely OEM, if your not pretty familiar with these cars and stock exhaust changes over the years you would totally assume the car left the factory with that exahust.

Perrin probably. I also wonder how hard it would be to install JDM/MY15+ tips on an aftermarket exhaust. I have always liked the looks of them and more stock look may be better.

We have almost exactly the same law here. We don't have a Db limit. Yet.


75 (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 75 (1).

[Tokay444]

Yep, and we're more commie than they are. It's sickening.

Look more stock to who? The.00000002% of the public or police that have any clue what our stock exhaust(s) looks like? Who would you think you are going to fool? You could probably try to claim almost any exhaust is stock and nobody but a very minute group would know from looking at it. Hell, I am not convinced I could pick a stock exhaust out of a line up.

I agrees to an extent. But most cops would write you up for something stock thinking it's not around here even. But things like an N1 or other big canister exhausts are a pretty good giveaway, giant 5" tips, or a single exit and there is a whole in the bumper where the other tip was lol

Something tells me you have no clue what a "commie" government is all about.

That's why I was asking. I doubt a cop saw a different "not too loud" muffler and wrote him up. Prolly more to the story.
