:drama:

technically the biggest legal size is what your car came with stock.

modifying beyond stock is illegal. Its stupid but its true.

Just dont put a huge tipped exhaust...go with a nice high flow exhaust, put in a resonator, and buy some good high-flow (not straight through) mufflers. Get the sound down to a semi-stock level and keep the tips small and the police wont bother you.

Drive around with a noisy car and huge exhaust tip and they will be more than happy to ticket you.

It sucks, I hate it, but its the sad reality of our communist...errr..democratic country. (I like to call it the democratic dictatorship).

se-i
I saw you and an integra pulled over on whyte. do you have an alluminum spoiler? you got pulled over by a van and the integra got pulled over by a car? And I just finished seeing a street race on jasper.

se-i
Plus when I got up the road more I saw 2 beat cops radioing ahead when they saw "illegal" cars

90teg
lol ye thats me ..:mad: yea that wing is .. why?... and what cars where raceing?

DomesticDrifter
a scilencer will go along way in keeping the noise levels down, and try keeping the rpm down and the trottle barley open, oh yeah don't rev your engine at cops anymore either, j/k man. tuff ticket but your best bet is to avoid whyte with a big fat exhaust.

90teg
scilencer will bring my hp down lol . i did rev my engine after i got the ticket and when thro white revn my engine at like 5rpm :p :lol:

Nightstalker
You should know better, and you should no the law before you install stuff on your car. I have a hard time feeling sorry for you. Just as a side note, My civic has a Greddy Evo2 Catback system.. its got a 115mm tip on it. Its life, you just have to deal.. its the same as getting a speeding ticket.. there is no one to blame but your self. take the ticket downtown and get it reduced, then get on with your life...


P.S. I am in a bitchy mood at the moment so your just getting that side of me.. But seriously this topic has come up about 3000 times on this board now.

90teg
well if i put it on then i wouldnt care cuz its my falt but i bought the car like that .

:lol: I DID IDLE BY AND THEY STILL GAVE ME A LOUD MUFFLER TICKET

98 teg
well man I got a 98 teg and just get the apexi world sport exhaust it got the bigger tip and piping but none of the "loud noices " that most exhausts make

ChromeDragon
The spelling in this thread is blowing my mind!

Well I myself have one of the loudest exhaust out there(just ask anyone who's been beside my car when it hits boost) but I've never been bothered by the cops. I've driven alongside cops at times, past them, behind and in front of them but I haven't been stopped yet. I suppose the main reason for that is that I drive sensibly when I know there are police around, but also my car doesn't have a massive exhaust tip. It's 3" straight pipe back from the muffler, but it's just mandrel bent steel, no shiny tips to attract the cop's attention.

I even drove up Whyte tonight at about 12:30am and the couple cops I drove by didn't even bat an eye.

2003specv
I agree Matt. My car sounds like a damn airplane, but I don't get hassled cause my muffler outlets are like a 1/4'' bigger than stock.

I don't wash the muffler either so it looks even more stock.:bthumbup:

energie
just avoid whyte ave for now if ur car is modified.

bigmack000
now were goin to see painted flat black mufflers everywhere LOL

Yo man...where the heck have YOU been???
I mean...I know you're new & all but just on the first page of "General Auto Chat" there are TWO threads about the new exhaust/noise crackdown on Whyte Ave...I did a quick search for "exhaust" and came up with the rest....looks like ticketing for enlarged exhausts has been a popular topic on this forum for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time....

Good - another loud rice exhaust that get's a ticket. Maybe you guys will stop annoying people with that sound.

You knew the law. You still went out, and did something to get you a ticket. Don't blame the police, blame yourself dumbass.

95IntegraRS
Fuck man, I'm trying to get a god-damned ticket right now but for some reason I can't. I was on Whyte Ave last night, saw a cavalier pulled over for fart-cannoning, so me being an asshole and all, I revved up on the cop. I also revved up on some other cops that were walking but they just looked at me like I was fucked. There have been more than a handful of times during meets or whatnot that I've revved up on cops at lights or while driving by them and they just look at me like I'm fucked. Maybe they like my exhaust or they think I am just plain retarded?

SketchifisT
It sucks but hope everyone learns just cause you throw a huge tip onto your exhaust doesn't mean you get the power from it , so dont bother. It draws attention.

Just get a proper exhaust done and leave it at that, i have 2.5 inch pipe all around and just have a really good sound and have no problems with cops even tho technically it is illegal

You can put on whatever mufflers and piping you want as long as the sound level isn't too high and the tip remains stock diameter. :)

FWIW, I've made some major changes to control the noise of my car, but I still make sure to throw it in neutral and just coast by any cops I see at idle. No point in antagonizing them. :blink:

But I heard a fart can with a 4" tip, 7' wide aluminum wing, and NOS stickers added like 500hp to NA 4 bangers. :dunno:

I started my car the other day and thought my muffler had fallen off because of this loud growl that was shaking my whole car. I got out and walked around my car, popped the hood and couldn't find it...


Then snugs drove by and the growl was gone...

I was driving home on whyte last nite, and i saw that black cavi too.. he should be ticketed.. that muffler wasnt being held on by ANYTHING.. it was kinda just hanging there.. look like one of those stupid sportbike type mufflers..

Yea, your right. But no one should be persecuted for expressing themselves through their car and doing things the way they want. I think that the EPS and the politicians calling the shots are a bunch of Nazi's. I believe people who drive performance vehicles have a strong belief that the perfection of driving skill is a goal all motorists should strive for and thats why I believe we are the better drivers on the road. They should be giving tickets to the people that are constantly in accidents, caught drunk driving, histories of traffic abuse instead of pushing on the Import scene in general and discouraging our crowd.

they arn't persecuting you for expressing your self though your car. because you have a retardly loud exhaust on your car does that mean you are a retardly loud person in real life as well? they are persecuting you because you are breaking 2 laws with your curent aftermarket exhaust system. the 1st of which is highly subjective, that being the noise restriction, invest in a scilencer and you'll probably get fewer noise violation tickets, and the loss of 2hp won't that big of a deal, are you willing to keep paying $100 every time a cop comes around and decides to give you a ticket. thats $50 per hp and that will ad up over time, not worth in imo. 2nd law is emmissions. your current aftermarket exhaust is most likely not emmissions certified and is destroying our environment every time you go wide open. lol this is my rant. i'm pissed of the 16 year old kid living next to me just got a big fart canon put on his 89 prelude and he sits in his garage reving his engine late at night and its starting to piss me off, so right now i'm all for the scilencer:bthumbup:

Environment, smenvironment.. Welcome to alberta, land of "emissions" :p go hug a tree... granola eater.

ehos
Loud exhausts are stupid. But the law is applied selectively, a car exhuast can NEVER be as loud as some of those stupid Harley dudes bikes.

THOSE guys should be getting mad tickets (if the law was fair).

That was you? Damn, you should have waved or something. :)

Ok, so its a still a little loud when it starts up.... but it does get quieter as it warms up.... honest. :p


We were down on Whyte for dinner last night, none of the cars were loud, but a couple of bikes that went by shook the windows of the restaurant we were in... and not a cop to be seen. Well, that's not exactly true, when we were walking home a patrol car came flying down the middle of Whyte with its lights and siren on.... we figured they'd spotted a ricer a few miles away and were in hot pursuit. :p

yeah i was talking about the whole system from cat (or lack of one) back.

and yeah his prelude is red but it doesn't have a painted hood or anything, the only thing thats painted on it is the rust spots lol.

well i dont care what any one says is still BULLSHIT:lol:

I wish you would read in the papers about a police crackdown on loud Harleys, or vehicles that have been in accidents with major damage that havent been repaired and they are still driving, or broken lights or vehicles you can obviously look at that arent safe to be on the road.

You can drive a vehicle as long as you want thats in any condition and unless you sell it and someone else has to get it insuranced and its over 10 uears old it never has to have an inspection done on it to stay on the road. Go after them.

Why is an enlarged exhaust such a huge hazard that every cop in edmonton has to be put on exhaust detail. No wonder no other crimes get solved.

As for the whyte ave issue. Me and the gf used to go down there to eat and have a few drinks and spend some money. Now with the crackdown and all the complaints from the business owners about the noise of cars, I won't go anywhere near there as I know I will get a ticket for my exhaust. Its not loud but it is enlarged. So now they are loosing my business over it. It is worth it, I guess only time will tell for them when people stop going down there. And isnt that why businesses locate there, cause of the high traffic??? And isnt that what makes whyte ave...whyte ave????

Doesnt make any sense to me.

RWD
do you have anything else done to your car? in my opinion i would never get a enlarged muffler just for the sound unless i have some serious mods to the car.

In my case just an enlarged EXHAUST will add 17RWHP.


And im sure for Flex, it would be close to that as FI, cars get more gains out of exhausts.

YOUR SPOILER IS TO BIG FOR YOUR PEON!!! JUST LIKE YOUR MUFFLER!

LOL

oh joe what will we ever do with you :rolleyes: ...neon:lol:

JUST PLAYIN BRO! :D ;)

agreed

92_WhItE_H23
the tickets drivers get arent mostly because of the parts, its because of how you drive...i drive by police on a daily basis i got a 4 inch tip. if i keep the RPM below 2500 it sounds very low. if your booting your car around at 4000 your gunna get nailed...

Flex
Thats not always true. A guy I know was sitting at a light idleing and a beat cop flagged him over and gave him and enlarged exhaust ticket. And he was diring like an a$$ before the lights it was in traffic.
