"Remember - FTBC (failure to be cool) is not a crime!"

omg, that's funny

"Note: New law (27150.2 VC) does not require law enforcement to use sound level meters to test for excessive noise. Citation is based on officer's judgment. Cited violators may have testing done at smog referee stations or may be directed by the court to have testing done. Vehicles in violation must be brought into compliance. A fine may also be imposed."

That was the "new Law" last year.
It is what has allowed many folks to be sited and then get their aftermarket exhaust okayed when they got tested.
Once you have the noise certificate, when you get pulled over you can kindly explain to the officer how not all cops are good at judging sound levels, and present your example.
Our you can just say "In your face copper" and wave the certificate while you take your beating.

 

what sucks is that you cannot get tested before

I would rather go and get it done now, and then be able to show the officer that I am in compliance.

 

Maybe if I get another ticket, I'll put my silencer in and get tested and pass. Then take the silencer out and use the certificate.

 

that's what I'd do...

 

you rebels you

 

that's why you carry an SPL meter with you...

for a while i did, when i heard that some cops were stopping STOCK___ STi's for the loud exhausts...

 

can't they say you're not certified to measure it or some **** and make that an invalid measurement and still send u to the ref?



btw has anyone been able to pass smog with catless uppipe with the 2.2k resistor in it?

 

i carried that portion of the CVC too... and the SAE testing procedures: meter is 8" off the ground, 20" away from the tip of outer most part of exhaust and meter is at a 45 degree angle from it...

just to CMA...

 

god damn!!


i just carry a tire repair kit in my car lol.

 

so according to that site, taking out the amber pieces in the front headlights

 

yes, this is the only law where you can get a ticket for a completely subjective evaluation by a cop who has never had one hours worth of training on how to make the subjective evaluation. Its complete BULL****!!!
