Val's car isn't loud but mine is twice as loud if not louder than Val's and I pass w/ out a fuss. Well most of the times.
He should be alright. Worse case just stuff some steel wool in the pipe to muffle the sound.

| Post subject: | US inspections for heavily modified cars |
A buddy of mine from the academy is PCSing to Spang in a few months and is asking me about all of the car requirements. Since mine is mostly stock, I didn't have to worry much about the details of what is required for aftermarket stuff, but he has a 99 C5 that is pretty heavily modified. Is there a link somewhere for what is allowed? The short version of what he's got Head/Cam LS1 Supercharger NX Nitrous system disconected Long Tube headers - not sure about cats Borla cat-back (same one I've got on my car) |

He should be fine. But...it will depend on how loud he is. Now, here's the trick: There is a DB limit but if the inspection station does not have a certified sound chamber they are not allowed to enforce it using subjective means. I've heard that K-town is very lenient on this issue anyhow. |

That's the big thing, he told me it was insanely loud now. I haven't seen it since we graduated, but based on what he's told me, It'd imagine that it'll be at least as loud as Val's car. |

Mine is loud and it passed no problem. The only issue I had was trying to get the inspector out of the car. He wanted to take it on a test drive. |

I passed inspection with the SLP Loudmouth on my 1999 C5. It''l be good to see another vette running around. I am actually looking at getting a Procharger D1SC supercharger kit for my vette. |
