Warning for non-stock exhaust
My buddy got pulled over not to long ago by a Mass state trooper while putting around umass in his jetta with a Magnaflow exhaust. This just happens to be the same exhaust I have on my Rex. Anyway, he got a warning for having a "non-stock exhaust." Is this really a tickable offense? Anyone heard of this?

No person shall use a muffler cut-out or by-pass. No person shall operate a motor vehicle on any way which motor vehicle is equipped (1) with a muffler from which the baffle plates, screens or other original internal parts have been removed and not replaced; or (2) with an exhaust system which has been modified in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the exhaust.

Wow, he got a ticket for having a muffler? I know some aftermarket mufflers are louder then stock, but they arent as loud as no muffler...
My cousin's jetta used to have no tailpipe, and it was friggin loud. It also didnt have a stock exhust system.
But as of like 2 weeks ago, the jetta no longer has a muffler.
...He sets off car alarms along his street.
He hasnt gotten pulled over once because of his exhaust...
He lives in CT and his next car inspections isnt for a while.

From what I understand as told from a DMV cop pretty much anything you do to your car,motorcycle,truck, whether it be lower it jack it up aftermarket exhaust ,tint,or anything else that did not come from the factory is ILLEGAL. Some cops enforce this and obviously lots do not. but who knows this guy could be talkin' ****.
