Violation Warning Notice, Tell me if I'm legal . .
My friend Rachel was driving my camaro tonight, and she got pulled over. Cop said she took notice of my car because of excessive noise when driving under an overpass. She took notice of the exhaust, which dumps after the differential (doesn't continue out the back). She didn't get a ticket, just a warning, but here's the question:
"The statute I looked up says nothing about the tailpipes being an issue, But how loud is too loud?" I must say my car is not too loud. It has a heavy rumble, but is not excessive. I just think this whole thing is a load of crap, and laughed when I heard about it. Regardless of the warning, the tailpipes will never be extended out the back, and I will never put any other mufflers on that car but the Flowmaster 40 series that are on it. The warning is framed and hanging on my wall as we speak. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif |
Re: Violation Warning Notice, Tell me if I'm legal . .
It will come down to the officers opinion of what to loud really is,but I would imagine the overpass amplified it.
Did she state you have to have it fixed soon or else? |
Re: Violation Warning Notice, Tell me if I'm legal . .
Didn't say anything about fixing it . . . My guess is she really didn't care too much. Just trying to act busy. Cops in this college town have nothing better to do than pic on us poor college kids!!
Just a written warning ticket. Said I was in violation of statute 347 (basically loud exhaust), but didn't have any specific citing number like 347.65 or anything. And then to contradict the number, she wrote down, "Tailpipe must extend to rear of car" Ha, Had to laugh at that! |
Re: Violation Warning Notice, Tell me if I'm legal . .
Hum, I have a habit of getting on it when going through underpasses or over concrete walled overpasses... just love the echo.

Re: Violation Warning Notice, Tell me if I'm legal . .
Well, in NJ a car is supposed to have exhaust pipes that exit from underneath the vehicle so your car would have failed inspection if it dumps under the vehicle. I had a 68 Camaro SS396 that had dumps and I couldn't stand to drive it. I had tailpipes added and it sounded so much better from inside the car. It made it sound better from outside as well. Dumps cause the exhaust to bounce of the ground and creates almost an echo effect. Better check those local regulations closer or you may end up with a ticket.

For years I ran around with either open headers or straight glass packs and the only ticket I got was for excessive accelerationhttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Violation Warning Notice, Tell me if I'm legal . .
Well has nobody seen the obvious here!!, what does your girlfriend look like?. Years ago i bought my then girlfriend a 65 Mustang 2+2 baby blue fastback, she was an Edmonton Eskimo cheerleader (she was a looker with a hot car), she used to get alot of attention driving a car like that and got challanged at lights where ever she went and yes she got pulled over alot to get warnings, and yes she got asked out alot. She loved the attention that car brought. There was a hot women then in town that had a done up superbee with the saying on the back "if you can beat me you can eat me". How popular do you think she was!!

Re: Violation Warning Notice, Tell me if I'm legal . .
GOD's honest Truth..............I was pulling out of a Burger King w/ the Camaro, and a Mt Laurel cop was pulling in; with his door to my door, he started talking (or yelling)......about the noise. I literally shut the car down to hear him say that the car was too loud! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif
I told him in 1969, this is what real high HP cars sounded like. I could tell he was born probably when Reagan was President! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif He told me to take it easy; I told him to have a great day! What A Country! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif Jeff https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gifx2 |

Re: Violation Warning Notice, Tell me if I'm legal . .
Rachel's not my girlfriend, but a very good friend . . . I would never let a "girlfriend" drive my car. She's good looking, but kinda big. She said she almost started laughing at the cop when she told her it was too loud!

Sounds like out & out BS to me...How about all those friggin' Harley Hogs that are WAY beyond any sound level meter? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif
Sounds like the cops in your area have nothing better to do. I have my exhaust on my '70 Z/28 dump out behind the rear axle and I ain't changing a thing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif My '69 Z/28 has cutouts with side pipes so when I go through our local tile-lined tunnel,I usually enter in 2nd. gear around 5500rpm and then accelerate from there to about 7-grand...the look on those drivers around me...? PRICELESS https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif |
