I didn't say that. Even the V8 Camaros shouldn't have dual 3" fartpipes on them.:nono:

coming from someone that used to do inspections at a private place, if the exhaust is 50 state legal then it's 50 state legal!!! the part about the noise is up to the inspector, but if yoiu have the documentation from the manufacturer of the company then that should be all you need.

just to show you how f'ed up DMV is, when i had my 93 Z28 they failed me for rear brakes. i went back the next day after running around a bit and went through again and passed. no pads, no rotors, same ***** that was on the day before.

i let my girl take my 96 last time it was due. it had all the not good stuff still on it. blacked out tail lights, blacked out blinkers, tinted windows, exhaust that wasn't 50 state legal, CAI that screamed when you got on it, and cheater slicks that weren't even close to D.O.T. approved and they PASSED IT!!!!!!!!! i guess it helps if your girl is hot and wears a skimpy outfit. they stared at her more than they checked the car. they even warned her about the stuff it should have failed for and told her be careful if she gets pulled over in it.

hows that for some serious ********?

My dad thinks they might just be ****ing around with me since I'm young, he's gonna take the car through one of the places (he's saying go to one I haven't been to yet, they haven't seen my car, I'm thinking Ridgewood) and see if they pass it with him taking it in.

Also i stopped by the tenafly police station tonight... one cop was looking thru the books and one was looking on the computer, there is NO decible limit or specific test, it's pretty much a judgement call for the cops too.

With that said, the one looking thru the books told me he used to have an 87 with a vette motor and flowmaster, said it was loud as hell setting off alarms blah blah and he passed inspection with it... said mine being a v6 with magnaflow theres no way that its "too loud" since a V8 with exhaust really isnt "too loud"... said i should just take it to a different place

i came up empty on the internet, as well. no decibel limit or way to test it. i think your dad is right, they are probably just effing with you because you are young. see if he can get it through, then that'll satisfy that theory.
