Ugh..... it is the most "bone stock" vehicle I have ever had.

96 Trans Am with a loudmouth cat back.

Recap:
The wife took it to wayne dmv - they failed the car for "no muffler/ too loud."

Fast forward to today:
I go to wayne dmv for reinspection. I provide the slp disclaimer which explains a resonator IS a muffler. Old guy looks under the rear of car car and tells me there is no muffler. I tell him where the resonator is. The old guy starts telling me a resonator is not a muffler. I again provide the letter disputing what he says - he calls his manager.

Manager comes over - takes the mirror and looks under the car and immediately comes up to me and says the car has no muffler. I sigh and tell him where it is and provide the letter. He looks under the car and says he needs to call his manager.

Now, a guy with a shirt that says "manager" comes up, listens to my story, looks under the rear of the car, i tell him to look at the resonator. He finds it and then looks at the cats. I tell him the cats are original and the resonator IS a muffler. He then tells me the car is too loud. I asked for a decibal meter - he shrugs his shoulders and says I've been doing this for years, I know what is too loud. I told him wayne has a DB limit of 91 - he looks at me and says "I don't know what you are talking about, flow numbers mean nothing to me, here is a phone number, it is the dispute line.

I leave there and head home.

I call 1-973-631-6550 for morristown dmv - they refer me t the "mobile unit dispute area." I call them at 973-631-6584 and speak with them.

I explain the situation - she says it is too loud. I asked for where this is stated in writing that it is "too loud for wayne." She disappears - manager gets on the phone. He tells me that a vehicle can have an aftermarket exhaust system but it must be equal in loudness.

Sigh - I give up at this point. I thought I would win.

F U DMV!!!!

My other car passed w/ flying colors with loudmouth!

Grrrrrrr
