Attention: Florida Exhaust Laws, Read Before Posting! - Page 6

Dr. Litman · 08-27-2008, 11:31 PM

Sorry if this has been already mentioned, but it's not a noise issue, per se -- they have pulled me over for "having a modified exhaust". That's it.

I haven't gotten a ticket yet, and the cop generally admits that it's mainly an excuse to harass people... but, I believe the FL statutes are sufficiently ambiguous such that they can enforce this "no modifications" law pretty much however they see fit.

Seriously, what is the reason for loud exhausts? And do you guys really not care about waking people up in the dead of the night?

All I have seen so far is immaturity, with folks telling me to "Deal with it" and others wanting to stalk me so they can come to my home and rev their engines.

As for the guy who stated that they had a neighbor with a dog that barks, the cops can, and will do something about it. Just give them a call, and I would also recommend calling the local Humane society.

Loud exhausts are disrespectful, unnecessary, and a literal hazard to your hearing and health.

Holy damn its the troll with the paper thin walls. I forgot all about you.

The justification for (not necessarily a louder) a larger exhaust is that alot of vehicles with these systems are modified. Granted alot of them are kids with fart cans, but some of them are legit. If you put a turbo on your car, you're going to need something much bigger than your stock exhaust, generally around 3'' turbo-back. This increases the VE of your engine, as well as the power. The side effect is, the car is louder. Since florida has no inspections and no emissions laws, we are free to modify our cars in any way we please, and you are free to reinsulate your paper thin house, or move to an apartment on a high floor of some building. Then you'd never have to deal with it "rattling your walls".

You won't change the minds of the 50,000+ members of this website, we're just going to make fun of you till you give up.

i for one had the shiny fart pipe loud as hell on my civic, till i got pulled by the local pig convention. lesson learned. so what did i do? i threw on a cheap dyno max chambered muffler (which quieted it down), rattle canned it flat black, and just added an exhaust cutout for "spirited driving" right after the header before the resonator. i havent been fucked with a cop for exhaust since. its been 4 years already. if youve got a shiny or modified looking exhaust, your gonna get fucked with. no matter how quiet it is. if it looks and sounds factory OEMish your fine.

i got a exhaust ticket tonight. i told the cop that my muffler was stolen tonight, and he asked if i had a police report filed. i told him no and he asked me why not, i told him i didnt like the exhaust anyway and i have a new one on the way. he gave me a 89 dollar ticket anyway, do i have any chance of getting out of this one?

**.Seth.** · 09-23-2008, 03:38 AM

^nope lol

you cant prove it was stolen the night before.

TheRichMan · 10-01-2008, 09:08 AM

I'm one of those kids with the fart pipes lol (with a silencer though) and when I got pulled over the first time the cop mentioned it to me that it was illegal but didn't ticket me for it. He also checked my sound system, made sure all my lights worked, made me rev my engine for him, etc. Just one of those dick cops that was lookin for something to ticket me for. My pipe doesn't look as goofy as a lot of others I don't think but just gotta be careful... a lot of cops out there will try to get you for anything if your the stereotypical 16 year old kid with a loud civic.

buylow · 10-01-2008, 05:35 PM

I got a DC sports exhaust on my Civic. I get pull over cause it a 4" SS tip. It not as loud as many of these fart can exhaust, but you get pulled cause of the way it looks.

Maybe it time to paint it rust color..

While the law instructs specific areas to set their own methods of measurement, it does not take a decibel meter to figure out if an exhaust is louder than stock.

Actually it does.

"Sound level" means the A-weighted sound pressure level measured with fast response using an instrument complying with the specification for sound level meters of the American National Standards Institute, Inc., or its successor bodies, except that only A-weighting and fast dynamic response need be provided.

Here's some info on A weighting. A-weighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've found that most cops don't enforce this law b/c it is a WASTE OF TIME. There is domestic violence, murder, robbery, rape, child molesting, goat sex--ROFLMAO-- etc to worry about.

Keep your self civilized with your aftermarket exhaust and you'll be alright. A clutch helps.

D15superman · 10-21-2008, 01:02 PM

god damn there are some assholes on TR.

KilltheNoise is just trying to get across her point of view, and although i run open headers on ALL my cars. i agree completely, respect other people's acoustic space. dont fcuking wake people up in there homes and be dicks about your loud exhaust. THATS why retards get tickets for exhaust louder than stock.

i ran open header on my old high compression N/A civic all the time, for Pizza delivery in fact. i had been pulled over a ton of times b/c delivering anything in the ghetto gets the cops attention, but not once did i get an exhaust noise ticket, Why? not luck, not sweet talking the cops, its just NOT revving your motor and being an idiot where it affects people.
