woo woo!
i know this is old news, but can someone explain this article to me....or at least the part i'm wondering about
by law, we can't modify anything on the car....is that what' the report is saying? or am i reading it wrong???.

full article there.
But Oakland traffic cops say it wasn't hard to discover that the whistle tips were never legal in the first place. By law, you can't alter a car beyond the auto manufacturer's original design. So police are tracking down violators.

That article doesn't cite the CA Vehicle Code. I continue to do what I will to my car in the way of mods, as long as I think it will pass scrutiny or come in under the radar of law enforcement. Ignore that dumb article. The reporter who wrote that piece didn't do research - they just reported what the police told them. Lemmings...

The whistles go WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Actually, it doesn't really matter does it? Those things were so last year
No really, what I mean to say is that the article didn't cite Cali Vehicle Code so I think we can still "massage" the law here

Actually the law states something to the effect of:
You cannot modify your exhaust specifically to increase noise.
I assume this means you can replace parts of the exhaust if the need arises (muffler wears out, or for performance reasons), but in the specific case of specific modification JUST to make it whistle, that would be illegal.
