Does anyone from indiana know what the legal exhaust db is ??? I need to get a vehicle code book at the dmv home office while I'm in indianapolis for hot import nights

Cops can pull you over for anything they feel is loud. Anything non-stock can be considered too loud. Just be careful....oh yeah, I work for a police station, that's the credibility.

Looks like DSMgirl is right, the law in IN, like many other places, is written so vauge that a officer of the law can be having a bad day and pull you over.

The law here in SLC is not a vauge as your code, but the added tidbits like: No person shall sell, furnish, provide or purchase, nor shall any person attach to any vehicle any device which will or is intended to increase or change the character of the sound of the original muffling

But with the openeing line of: Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation. Notwithstanding the foregoing...

Some of these laws are just bull.. I have seen potholes in the road here that can alter the sound of the exhaust permanatly.

You shouldn't have too much of a problem if you have a cat or decent muffler and aren't wot.

I run a 2.5" turbo back with no cat and a dynomax ultraflow. No issues whatsoever for me so far.

yea i work with a cop here in auburn and he said that it's "officer's decression" which means exactly what spoolup said they can just screw you if they are in a bad mood. plus they don't use any DB meters or anything to measure them or atleast not in auburn they don't

What color is your car? I saw a 2g driving around Auburn yesterday I'd not seen before, maybe it was you.
