Ahhh, I see. While the turbo and cats do muffle a lot
of the sound (and it would pass a sound test with a
straight pipe from the cats back) it would still be
loud enough to annoy the neighbors and it would most
certainly attract the attention of the police
(especially in cities like Fremont). It would seem as
if there is a good percentage of officers that are not
aware of the laws that they are supposed to enforce.
Someone on I-club with an aftermarket exhaust got
pulled over the other day (I'm not sure if he was
doing anything to attract attention to himself or
not). He was let go with a warning but the officer was
quoted as saying "any aftermarket exhaust system is
illegal". While the officer was clearly wrong this
ignorance seems to be somewhat prevelant with local
law enforcement and I'd rather deal with it by not
attracting any attention to begin with. :-) Hmmm maybe
BLUE wasn't the best color choice. -LOL-
