I see your point but I dont believe it would be worth any cops time to pursue someone for a stock muffler. And even if someone is able to tell, if he passes the the sound tests at the DMV he should be ok?
You never know though.You might meet that one cop thats having a bad day/is a dickhead and they'll just look for a reason to make money off of you.

And the only way i can see a cop distinguishing the s2k muffler from a stock ef/eg/ek/dc/ep exhaust is the twin loop is if he gets under the car and actually looks.

But the chances of that happening are VERY VERY slim.

And i've never heard of any db tests at the dmv.

wow....i didnt mean to cause an argument. i think ive met all the cops that are dickheads lookin to make some money off of me. thats y i posted this in the first place. only reason im asking is bc ive seen how the s2k mufflers look on other cars n i like the fact that its clean AND it performs (or so i hear). either way i have 30 days to get rid of the fart can so i gotta do sumthin. this was just one option and i wanted to research it a lil b4 i went thru with it. thanks for the help everyone!

also.....you would b suprized how big a difference an exhaust can make in a car. all motor cars HAVE TO BREATHE. if they dont then theyre getting robbed of hp. its all a combonation of things, the exhaust being one of them, that makes a motor perform at its best. so yes....exhaust does make that much of a diff.

For once i agree with you.

Like on subarus for instance the muffler is actually the most restrictive part of the exhaust system.With just a catback there is phenomenal gains.

And with a turbo back and tune some people have gained 50Whp

Yes your reading that right 50Wheel horsepower.
