Got pulled over for Exhaust Noise? WTF

[Flip]

Does anyone know the laws/rules on exhaust noise here in georgia?

The other day i was driving as a cop passes me, i see him turn around. He comes back behind me, then we pass a state trooper or something and he follows me too. They both pull me over. The first cop asks me if i live on blah blah road, which i do, so i say yeah. He pulls out a printed letter with the description of my car in it saying that people/person have called in complaints about my exhaust being too loud. First of all I work nights so i leave for work at 11pmish and return at 6:30amish... He tells me my exhaust is illegal by state code so I asked him how it was illegal? He returned by stating that he could just give me a verbal warning or he could write it down for me... I opted for verbal warning and to shut the fuck up until i knew the laws...

So, my exhaust is sorta loud, it's not a ricer nasty loud but a deep rumble loud, kinda like a GT rumble... Imagine a gt with flows on it... WTF?? Can anyone point me to the state code where it states these laws or something? I wana shove it back int he cops face next time and tell him to eat it...

[Halfwit]

[5thgcelica]

it probably is illegal.

im sure mine is. along with most people on this board. if your exhaust exceeds such and such decible, then its illegal.

ask runier, he's good at this shit. lol.

I think it has to do with the db level.. I forget the GA CODE for it.. I think you can have an exhaust, but it has to top at some db

dont' be knocking flowmaster they sound good

they were probably just profiling you... i can't imaging your exhaust being illegal unless you have resonater or cat cut out.

Yah, i think he just pulled me over since he had the description of my car in a freakin letter They normally don't even turn their head. or I wave and they wave back

[Hulud]

i always assumed if you could pass emmissions legally then your exhaust was good to go

[IndianStig]

if it exceeds a certain db level it is illegal, not sure if its in this state, but it prolly is, idk.

but who cares....boxer 4 subaru's sound like sex............those cops don't know shit about sound

[Hulud]

but who cares....boxer 4 subaru's sound like sex............those cops don't know shit about sound

i know you havent had sex before so i will excuse it this time

a deep rumbling does not sound like sex, moaning and slapping of the ass sounds like sex

[Flip]

LOL you tell it right

[buddha@TeamFX]

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!

[jtownaccord]

Yeah, I got pulled over on barrett about a month ago for a noise violation. He said my exhaust was illegal. When I asked him what was considered legal, he told me any modification to the exhaust. That would have been cool cause he was just giving me a verbal warning, but then he said he was tired of all the ricers hanging out at barrett on the weekends. He actually called me a ricer. Fuck cops.

Next time ask him how often it is that they pull over Harley's because they are too loud...

Yah i brought up that point to a friend as well but i think motorcycles have different laws for noise .

[civic95]

Bingo! I was about to say if you want to get back at your neighbors get a Harley. They won't write you a ticket for it. Since people cannot SEE motorcycles we have to make sure you hear us.

[HiPSI]

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".

in your case it sounds more like one of your neighbors has it out for you.

i still think the letter was printed in the patrol car

They're all rednecks at heart and wish they could have a Harley, hell every police cruiser bike in this country is a Harley . . .

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.

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...

people like that are incredibly fustrating. you should ask her why she has it in for you and give her poison cookies

LOL, I'll give her cookies with Payote in them .

[Crazy Asian]

You know he just cant do that. In Cali they have to put a device and test your exhaust. Anything over 96DB is considered illegal. Just goto court and prove that your exhaust is legal and everything.

I wonder what the db level is here and do they just do it at idle?

Luckily i didn't get a ticket so i don't gotta fight this one .

[N/A EK]

i think 90db

[Crazy Asian]

They make you rev your car like around 3-4k and see how loud it is. I was reading about a kid who got pulled over in Cali since he had a Greddy SP and they put noise violation too loud. So he asked the magazine what he should and told him to go to the company and get a like a letter complying it was under 96db and then he told the judge that their was no kind of sound test done. He got away scotts free.

[CHADbee]

search google for Ga state laws...i think the sound leval here is 95DB but i could be wrong, they also have to have something to measure the DB ur exhaust makes, if they give u a ticket without messuring the DB it will get thrown out.
