^^^ If you were compliant before 2019, you're still compliant now. If the law gets those flame-throwing fart canons off the road, I'm all for it.

The problem with this law is it is not in congruence with federal regulations, so even a stock vehicle can fail the test. Also the police now have a financial incentive to write noise tickets, and let the chips fall where they may. The house always wins. You lose time fighting it. You lose money paying fines and lost wages. It's basically another attack on citizens. I put this in the same category as writing tickets for going less than five miles per hour over the speed limit.

People clearly don't read the facts on this stuff. The law has only changed to a fine, before it was a fixit ticket. And it applies to aftermarket exhausts, not the factory exhausts which are legal. What you are stating is simply untrue.

Another misinformed false statement. OEM exhausts are built to be in compliance to all state and federal standards.
