Default Alberta: B&B Bullets legal?

Anyone know first hand if the muffler-less B&B Bullets system is legal or not in Alberta?

Not that it's going to stop me from putting them on, but I want to know if I can expect trouble from the police.

I got bullets, been pulled over twice now and they have not said anything about the exhaust.The RCMP around the corner told me he loved the sound other then setting off his neibours car alarm all the time.

Awesome! Good to have neighbours like that. Hope to see you around this spring/summer!

Still curious as to whether or not they're legal...

Legal or not is subjective at best.

The act reads 'exhaust produce excessive noise/flame', now you define excessive. What is excessive to you may not be to me and vise versa....

So ya there you go, key note here, don't drive like a ricer and you'll be fine.

It's illegal (sick bird). It's not stock. If they want to ticket you, they will. They'll use the noise meter on your car in an underground parkade. Even a stock exhaust will usually fail. That said, most noise tickets aren't due to the noise, they're the result of you attracting enforcement attention for some other issue. The noise ticket is just an added 'attitude adjustment' penalty.
