    Also, if you put the resonators in at a exhaust shop, take the reciept with you to court and you may get lucky. It will have the same effect as your dot exhaust that would cost 400-800 bucks. They may dissmiss it.

    On another note, I don't know that what you wrote is what the law is. I didn't think GA had restrictions on what you replace. It just has to have a cat and be within the decibel limits which if yours is what you say, then it probably isn't.

    I don't think they traditionally mind the noise as long as you're not being as @sshat. My exhaust on the Miata has a cat but no muffler and is obnoxiously V8-loud. I've driven past cops all the time and never been pulled over fot it.

    Yeah, exactly. I did say that in one of the three posts, lol. They just don't like you if you annoy them or others with it. Now if you started reving when you pass, that would get them after you.

    mine is pretty loud too because i have piping straight thru from turbo-back running thru a very unrestrictive muffler.
    but i don't drive like an asshat and flip s10s and wreck carbon fiber civic hatch's so cops have no reason to pull me over
