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.
