Anyone have what they consider to be a "loud" exhaust locally here in the bay area? I am just curious to hear more since I just bought a single and it is way louder than I ever expected an exhaust could be. If anyone would be interested in meeting up to see the exhaust and compare, drop me a pm. I really like it since it only weighs 5lbs and is full titanium but I'm not sure about the sound level. It doesn't bother me so much really but I don't want to start getting tickets for it. For reference, I posted a thread in the gallery entitled "Anyone else have this exhaust". I bought it used and no one has been able to figure what it is yet but I am defintely the only one with this exhaust that I know of. I may actually end up selling it if I can't get used to the louder tone.

-As a side question, has anyone here gotten ticketed for a loud exhaust system and if so with what exhaust?

what kind of single outlet did you get?

That's just the thing, I don't know. The previous owner told me it was a Revolte but the Revolte is totally different from mine. I have some pics of it in the other thread and will be taking more today. So far no one has been able to identify the exhaust. At least it's unique I guess. Unique and loud as hell.

you'd be surprised how loud you can legaly be.

actually since I last checked the law was ammended it appears (at bottom of 2nd link). They no longer need a sound meter! it used to be 95db at 50', which is an insane volume level.

Judging from your thread in the Gallery it looks like to me that shit is loud as . No resonator and pretty much staight through.

It is loud but sounds awesome actually. I need some opinions as I can't tell how loud it really sounds from the outside while driving.

from the CHP, now it is on the officer's "personal" judgement, which may or may not be a bad or good thing

stingerbtry

Yeah really. Hopefully I will find a silencer and not have to worry about it so much. For now I can keep it quiet for the most part when I want to but that's no fun at all.

Well, I have an invidia with no silencers and Injen Intake, and I have been pulled over already. No ticket for the exhaust. This was a CHP also, and we know how hard they come down on things like this.

Besides, if you do evedr get a ticket, you can always sign it off by shoving an SOS pad in the tips for temp silencers Oh and you do get used to the loudness after a while

Yeah I am already totally used to it and love the sound. I just don't wanna get hassled by the po-po I am still looking for a silencer, howzabout you loan me one to test?
