Yeah, happened again..G-nette county, got pulled for Loud Exhaust. What now?
Its my first time ever getting pulled over for a "loud exhaust" on my car, but im wondering what should i do now? The officer just told me i need to get it fixed. End of story.
Only thing i can think to do is basically just get a silencer or something like that and shove it into my exhaust and make it quieter between now and my court date.

Properly tuned you can run a muffler. Don't see the problem.lol...but its also an autoX car, so i mean...muffler? not really all that attractive to me right now...
I don't know if you got the memo but just because a car is loud doesn't mean it is fast...

Tickets like that are like fix it tickets I'm pretty sure if you put different exhaust on they will drop the ticket... just show up at court and say you fixed it, say you had a hole in your muffler or some shit and didn't have the money to fix it lol
Autocross is your excuse? I didn't realize it was such a high stakes racing league ou can't make compromises on. Oh please. You daily drive the car too, live by the rules. Your loud ass car shouldn't be a punishment for me and others on the road. There plenty of mufflers that breathe well and don't sound like ass.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
if all you are going to do is lecture him...... leave----------------------->
there are a few things you could do, fight the ticket, a few of my buddies have gotten the same ticket and all of them were dropped. do you have the stock exhaust(the judge should drop the ticket)? if so just put it back on till after your court date. lastly just pay the ticket and take your chances (if i lived in g-nett i would not lolol)
It's not JUST a lecture, he asked for advice. My advice, get a muffler. You don't lose a whole lot of power from a muffler. A restrictive header, or cats yes, the muffler, no.

thats a little better
keep ur damn foot out of it and keep a low profile
if they dont hear you the dont stop you
TOO BIG
Install a turbo to chop up the exhaust note... As a bonus, it will make you faster ... :-)
+1 I haven't had mufflers on my turbo-car in years.
My car is factory....
Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
Get a resonator ( or a resonated tip )
the longer the resonator, the better

Never got one in the WRX. Invidia 3" TBE are known to be on the loud side.
Maybe your car is not cool the GPD? Just kidding, lol.
you should sell the car and buy a kia, with the amount of problems/topics you post cars are just not for you

Lol i was accelerating coming out of my neighborhood from a dead stop, and i was doing maybe 35 and i saw the cop up the road (Jimmy Carter), sitting there with his lights on. I thought maybe he'd pulled someone else over, and so i go past him in a sensible manner. Next thing i know, he is behind me, so im thinking oh s***. So, i dont even try to go down the road anymore, im at a red light. I u-turn at the red light and pull into QT. blue lights. end of story.
I guess it just wasnt my day/evening...
Either that, or i just made it really easy for him to stop me..I.E. i kinda surrendered

But i guess, what ill do is get a stock exhaust from my Honda place, install it, go to court, fight it with proof that i repaired the car, and hopefully get it dropped.

The law by nature is unconstitutional. There is no way for any officer to equally enforce the law since there is no set testing method. The wording allows any officer to call it illegal if he feels its too loud. That's a personal decision, not a legal enforcement and cops aren't allowed to do that. Go on 240atlanta.com and search for exhaust tickets. you'll find a long post by me explaining it. I'm about to leave work and start drinking so I don't feel like writing it again. Basically any cop giving you a ticket for exhaust being too loud it overstepping his legal boundaries and the ticket, if argued well, is not admissable anywhere in the state.

VERY TRUE. I was going to post this but since this is detailed enough I need not to. I used this method for the 2 or 3 exhaust tickets I received and I have gotten it dropped every time.
I'm running open exhaust on my Z28 and haven't had a problem, I'm sure its prob. louder.

Yours probably doesn't sound like a lawnmower either though.
Well if he sounds like a lawnmower and not a weedeater he is doing good

how yall goin make fun of the guy for wanting to do autox? i mean using that as an excuse for his exhaust is pretty lame, but dont knock the guy for wanting to do a legal racing event.
I don't think it's the autox they're making fun of, but the fact that he won't put on a muffler because he does autox...
FO SHIZZLE
im not making fun of you Joel, just think the Db could alittle work before start fukin shyt up you cant fix or pay for. When you start having too much FUN you start breaking stuff.
I've been autocrossing for 5 years, numerous national tour events, pretty much took TOD at most of our regions events and I never once broke anything on the car. I drove the car to the event with trailer in tow, swapped wheel's, rocked out, loaded back up and drove the car home and to work on Monday without ever having a problem. If you take care of your car, don't over drive the car, and don't drive a piece of shit to begin with you won't have problems. Most people think spinning tires and overdriving the car will make them faster, watch the fastest people and you won't hardly hear the tires squeel and they're not sliding much at all, and they're cars aren't breaking either.
