db limit for exhaust
i found some website (i forgot which one) that showed the california laws for cars and stuff. it said that the decible limit for the exhaust, measured 50 feet away from the car is 80 db. the nur spec is rated at 104 db at idle and 103 at i think 3000 rpm.
first, is the rating for the nur spec from 50 ft away? and second, has anybody received a ticket with this exhaust because it was too loud?

The 80 dB limit is strictly for new cars. 95 is the street limit as tested- but it's almost impossible to legally enforce. And yes, plenty of people have gotten tickets with the Blitz.

You should go to Radio Shack and get a sound level meter. Keep it in the car, and when the cop pulls you over, prove to him that it's not over the legal limit.
At least, that's what I do.
