Joey,

 

Dont rely on your friend for information. If you want to know what is going on, take it upon yourself to look up your noise ordnance laws in Cali and go from there. As for others getting tickets, it is 100% officer discretion on who they write and who they dont. Some officers are hardasses about vehicle noise and some aren't. So I would never say you will get a ticket, but it is possible.

they go after rice burners i know..how would i go about getting the ordinances?

[Prokopchuk_9]

Depends on where you live, cops are sticky around here with lifts. But can run open headers if you wanted...depends on where youre living

Big discussion about this sometime back on the Pacific section of Corvetteforum. Seems the cops prefer to use this law more on ricers because it opens the door for them to look under the hood and ultimately confiscate the vehicle (non-CARB compliant engine mods) in an effort to reduce/eliminate (hah!) the number of midnight burnout shows taking place in "certain neighborhoods". Profiling? If so, be thankful for it in this case.

good point i am thankful for that. but mine is still carbed

Here are the California Codes

Tuolumne County Ordinances

City Of Sonora Ordinances

You will need to look at each one to determine the specific codes/ordinances. Usually the state trumps others, but the county/city may add to an ordinance, just not take away from it.

I managed a Muffler Shop in a small town here in Michigan, and every swinging dick in town wanted dual exaust with Glass Packs with the big 3.5" chrome tips. They were loud and obnoxious and the town had City, County, and State police posts. There was one female state trooper that did not like the noise and would write tickets for it. I started drilling holes in the pipe just in front of the chrome tip, stuff some steel wool in the pipe, run a bolt through the hole I drilled so the wool wouldn't blow out. They would then drive accross the street get the ticket signed off drive back to my shop I'd take the bolt out give it a good rev to remove the wool and away they'd go till next time.

 

The trooper caught wind of what I was doing, popped me for 5 over, wrote me a ticket for it. She gave me my ticket and told me had I not been getting the local kids out of her exaust tickets she would have never pulled me over. From then on the glasspack kids were on their own
