AB 1824 Exhaust Law in Cali

[BojixFiST]

If my car has a custom exhaust approved by Ford, with a custom point of exit, with a custom rear bumper(making it so that the exhaust can only be fit through there), and exceeds 95 decibels, can my car still get reffed?

Wow, well that sucks. I guess I gotta move out of state then.

I'm curious though. What would you guys recommend if you were in my situation? Butterfly Valve?

Just replace or add a muffler.

Moving was a good idea. Too many people here in SoCal, lol

Would/could they still get him on the 'illegal' non-factory exit point (would people with the 2J racing side exit system fail?)?

I thought he was talking about that was over 95DB.
I don't think it makes any difference as to where it comes out; does it?

Side out and open dump mods are illegal in CA, I recall reading it and made a mental note.

That is good to know.
But I don't do that stuff any more.
[MENTION=10688]BojixFiST[/MENTION] exhaust comes out the rear as the Focus, so I don't think that would be a problem.
Of course, I am not 100% sure.

The '95 5.8 liter Mustang Cobra R SVT as well (the model with the big wing on the hatch).

Looks like a cool design. Maybe you can just short shift the car around town.

Yeah that's what I've been doing. Or just coasting it in neutral whenever there's a cop nearby. But I've passed by many cops at cruising speed and the car has shot a couple fireballs around them, but they don't seem to mind. Maybe the cops in my city are just too cool for that stuff [emoji28]

Ive got a crackle/bacfire tune on my FiST and casually let 'em off around cops. They always have a look of confusion but then theyre over it and move on.

Im in LA county and drive everywhere. Unless your car is obnoxiously loud or drive like an asshole, i doubt cops even care.
