foo.. some officers have DB meters in the car, not all, but some..
but most of the time, some of them are nit picky and they'll write you a ticket.. most cops have their tickets that ANNOY the shit outta them, the guys might have been LOUD exhausts

why would they have dB meter's? What laws have a maximum dB? Stereo's are too loud if it can be heard over 150'....If you've been told otherwise then you got shafted. Just like the letter the officer presented scooby....some police have printers in their cars...he got straight up Own3d.Originally Posted by Cremepuff
I never have a problem in Hall county...but I've been pulled over numerous times in Gwinnett and other counties in my camaro which has true duals with flows and my f-250 which is just 4-inch straight pipe off the turbo...my truck is really loud...but I've been pulled over from gwinnett south...and I always just end up with a warning!

no they don't... they may not have to have cat converters and other emissions stuff, but they still technically should remain below a certain acceptable dB level to be considered "legal".Yah i brought up that point to a friend as well but i think motorcycles have different laws for noise.
in your case it sounds more like one of your neighbors has it out for you.
That is so funny...I have v6 TT and run open down pipes daily, and drive by cops allthe time and never once have I had a complaint or gotten pulled over
*knocks on wood*
i still think the letter was printed in the patrol car
Thats it! I'm going to report every NOPI employee, and every Pepboys in GA.
lol, don't know about excessive but definitely unusual....BAAAAAHHHHHHHH.
I work for the man.. but a few actually have DB meters, but most of them care less about that shit..
they rather pull you over for illegal tint and sometimes, some one of them do pull you over for excessive noise in a vehicle..
I don't know the code off hand, I think its in sec 40 though
twoONEoh
i know a few people driving open headers.. driving all the time havent been pulled ova by a cop yet

lolol, section 40.....you've narrowed it down to 16 sections, grrr
Wait: so does that mean as long as you pass emissions, it doesn't matter if you have a cat and it can be as loud as you want it to be?here's the deal, as long as it's a complete exhaust (not like mine that ends behind the resonator 2 feet in front of the rear wheels

LIRL..
like I said, its up to the officer, they'd rather pull you over for speeding and what, generate money for the county..
its called discretion folks.... you might just have caught the cop on a shitty day or it was his pet peeve and pulled you over..
but most of them, could care less, not unless their squad sgt. wants to enforce it
twoONEoh
No. What it means is that there is no exact db level specified, in that section at least. And i can tell you from experience that you definitely DO have to have a catalytic converter on your car. I have been pulled over for excessive noise twice in paulding county. One time the cop actually looked under the car for the cat. I asked him what was considered legal, and he told me that you must have a cat and a muffler. If you have that then it is legal. He let me go with minimal hassle. Keep in mind this just what this specific cop told me so it may or may not be true. The other time i got pulled over I was let go with nothing also.
Whats really funny is that my cat is a dummy... its a 2.5 inlet and outlet high flow cat that i cut the shell off of, gutted out, welded in a straight pipe throught the middle, and welded it back together. Works like a charm.

What exhaust do you have on your car? I've never had problems with my APS, but its a pretty quiet exhaust and I've got the grocery wagon which flies right under their radar.

As for the letter, did it have your address printed on it? when did they give it to you? after they took your license from you?
40-8-71.

Any person violating this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
They didn't take my license, and I didn't even get a ticket. Just a verbal warning to "drive more quietly" through my neighborhood. I'm trying to figure out if he was just BSing me about saying that my exhaust was against state code... Don't know if it had my whole address printed on it, but it did have my street name and a description of my car...
I have the Blitz Nur Spec-R. Its pretty loud compared to the rest of them. One of the loudest out of the most popular ones. Still its a clean, deep sound...
And yes, as someone pointed it out to me, my neighbor does have it out for me. Its an older couple with no kids. The first day I moved into the house, I had my integra parked in the center of the culdesac since the uhaul took up the whole driveway. Cars could EASILY go around my integra and it was not in the way. I was next to my car for a moment when the lady walked directly up to me, the first thing she said was "You don't plan to continue parking your car here do you? You'd better not. I've lived here for blah blah blah blah..." She didn't even bother to introduce herself. I have never spoken to her since. She calls the cops EVERY time i have people over. She calls the cops on a couple other neighbors too... Mostly me though. Once she did it 3 times in one night when we were not being excessively loud...
Yah, I do that. I rarely shift agressively in that area at all. I saw the cop comin and was shifting at 2.5k... Pretty quiet. He just stopped me because of the complaint I'm pretty sure...looks like that about covers it.......PEOPLE WITH LOUD EXHAUSTS WHEN THE COPS ARE A ROUND SHORT SHIFT YOUR CARS IF U BANG THE REV LIMITER AND THEN GET PULLED OVER U ARE A DUMBASS......

eh, he was just doing his job. Now, go throw a brick through the neighbors front window

people like that are incredibly fustrating. you should ask her why she has it in for you and give her poison cookies
Haha, I'm really trying to figure out some way to try to be nice to her at first and get her to stop fuckign with me. If that doesn't work I'll get dirty. She is literally trying to run me out of the neighborhood. Any ideas?
LOL, I'll give her cookies with Payote in them.
