New exhaust laws in Cali

So with the new exhaust noise laws that went into effect this past Jan 1 what is everyone doing about them? Stock exhaust, cut-outs, etc...?

The Law (AB 1824)

Video of an officer issuing exhaust citation

A petition that's going around

Getting ready to register in another state, moving isn’t an option and this is no longer a fix it ticket.

According to the Link... cut outs are not gonna be aloud. Also reads as though the law is still the same, in that you can still have an aftermarket exhaust, but cannot exceed a "noise limit", which was measured in decibles... but that officer is on another level. Dumb ass dipshits and those stupid f'n street take over garbage. God damn losers.

i have a sportdesign exhaust on my IS. want it? maybe i should wait a week before racewars.

on a serious note, CA seems as if they want to regulate the ever living shit out of every aspect of your life (remember the texting tax we saw in the news a week or two ago). at what point in time do people stand up, and say enough is enough? surely not now.

Other people were complaining.

Car enthusiasts are a tiny percentage of the population.

Play stupid games & win stupid prizes.

You guys are paying the price for dudes starting their straight pipe'd SR 'missiles' at 5 AM to get to autozone so they can open on time & those idiots doing 'takeovers.'

Also modifying emissions systems is stupid.

Easy to say with the state you’re in, not even that strict I’m sure. While I don’t agree with takeovers as they’re completely stupid, this new exhaust law has nothing to do with emissions. This is some cops ego saying your exhaust is too loud as if their ears are an official decibel measurement device. Until it calms down or something changes with the law this is going to continue to fuck things up here more. Once they get you for that, referee will go through your car with a fine tooth comb and find anything else you have done, including tint and lowering the vehicle of any sort.

Ehh, just called my local CHP office and got confirmation. All that's changed is the ability to correct (or lack thereof) a violation to the 95 decibels noise limit. You can still have an aftermarket exhaust(with the required emission components), and not be fined. If you are cited, a trip to the state ref can dismiss the ticket.

This was wanted by non-car enthusiasts.

It’s pretty early to say, a lot of speculation going around. From what I hear a lot of people already got this ticket just by the officers discretion and it is 1000 no questions asked, for get this just some exhaust tips. Not looking good for anyone In California atm.

I beg to differ. A lot of noise on Instagram about people getting pulled over and getting sent before a judge/ref.

It's specifically due to the Side Shows/Takeovers and street racing that's been out of hand and the shit they post online. Ive heard of/watched videos where they are shooting fireworks at cops and just being dumb as fuck. What did everyone expect to happen? Cops just bend over and take it?

Its not exactly $1000 no questions asked. Its like every other fine, up to $1000, possibly more with fee's and whatnot.

I personally think, as a "community", we need to somehow organize AGAINST the side shows/takeovers, they are fucking it all up beyond possible repair.

OP, that "Krispy Kream" meet and the majority of the people that attracts is a HUGE culprit to this shit storm. Remember that video of the dude's fighting that parking lot security guy? Yea, that would never happen at the local 240 meets we used to run several years ago.

Don't be just as bad taking the change like it isn't an issue. Sure, the law itself hasn't changed, but the instant fine is being used on anyone they see that looks like the exhaust isnt stock (even then, that's still being overreached). The way it's being enforced is unjust. Someone with zero training in identifying exhaust and emissions components should have no business forcing people to take a lot of time and money being guilty until proven innocent.

this isnt 100% correct, the criteria for testing and the guidelines haven't changed, but the consequences have. which is what most people have an issue with (myself included). you cool with paying a 1k fine now, just because its past jan 1? didnt think so.

im just waiting for someone to take this to court on grounds of the fine creating un-due hardship for something so minor. if you have a compelling enough argument, and the right judge, this may end up getting tied up in the courts.

this isnt 100% correct, the criteria for testing and the guidelines haven't changed, but the consequences have. which is what most people have an issue with (myself included). you cool with paying a 1k fine now, just because its past jan 1? didnt think so.

im just waiting for someone to take this to court on grounds of the fine creating un-due hardship for something so minor. if you have a compelling enough argument, and the right judge, this may end up getting tied up in the courts.
That was my whole point in my post...

I've sort of been here. Not with an exhaust ticket, but for getting a "modified tail light" citation in my old FD. Cop tjought my stock FD tail lights were modified and too dark.

My experience in a nut shell was that the cops nor the judges know shit about cars and these citations in general. They didn't bother with hard evidence like lumins readings and instead determined that the tail lights were modified because A) the cop just thought they looked dark and B)because I didnt purchase my 1993 Rx7 when it was new..when I was 5 years old. I was found guilty and tried to appeal the court decision but that turned out to be a nightmare in itself. You seem to need a degree in law to know what half the terms mean. Ended up not bothering with it and just paid the fine.

I see the same deal happening here. Cop notices your car is modified in some form and will cite you for modifed exhaust regardless of how loud or modified it looks. In court they will simply ask if the exhaust is stock and then drop the gavel and check you out at the front counter.

This whole thing is a money grab. We're not going to see a reduction in these street takeovers because of an increase in modified exhaust tickets. I remember seeing a Uhaul truck doing burnouts in one of the street takeover videos...those are the kinds of people that we're dealing with here. They should start giving citations to people who rent Uhaul trucks as well.

It's not illegal to have a modified exhaust though. You could replace a gasket, and technically the system is "modified". It's illegal to have one with the purpose of making it louder, not having a muffler, and it cannot be over 95DB. You are unable to purchase a new OEM exhaust as the car is too old, there for you have no choice but to get an aftermarket replacement. If the intent is to say anything other than factory is illegal would essentially give you no option but to keep getting citations or scrap the car (which would be rediculous). If there is a muffler equiped on your exhaust with no cutouts, then the only thing after that is making sure you are under 95DB. The officers are not performing tests to ensure you violate that, which is why you should fight it in court. You can go to a BAR station for a certificate of compliance, but now what? You just wasted a fuck ton of time and money for no reason. Obviously if you know you're not in company, you're asking for it. However there are a lot of people being cited and they're in compliance, which is bullshit.

I personally think, as a "community", we need to somehow organize AGAINST the side shows/takeovers, they are fucking it all up beyond possible repair.

OP, that "Krispy Kream" meet and the majority of the people that attracts is a HUGE culprit to this shit storm. Remember that video of the dude's fighting that parking lot security guy? Yea, that would never happen at the local 240 meets we used to run several years ago.
But then how are they going to get instagram famous?
But seriously, I saw a couple of those videos, and Im sure that has to do a lot with what you guys are having to deal with over there. Fuck those guys, that deserved some riot police, tear gas and lots of spikes strips...

my point is; california is always going to keep pulling shit like this. no one should be surprised. yeah, it's fucking dumb, but if you don't have $1000 to burn, you probably chose the wrong hobby
