This sucks. I wasn't expecting these rules on tint and exhaust, it wasn't an issue the last time I was out there. I just spent over $200 on new tint and I have an Aerochamber muffler, so I'm doubting it'll pass. Great.

I guess I'll find when my car gets there.

Time to do some reading up on the website and call and see what their advice is. My thing is that when I write my letter I'm going to propose to them that they adopt California Air Resources Board standards rather than make a cart blanch statement against ALL aftermarket exhausts.

Here's SEMA's recommended regulation:

Quote:
SEMA Exhaust Noise Model Bill

No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner so that the exhaust system emits in excess of ninety-five decibels as measured by the society of automotive engineers (sae) standard j1169 (may 1998). It shall not be a violation of this section unless proven by proper authorities that the exhaust sytem modification results in noise amplification in excess of ninety-five decibels under the prescribed sae test standard.

A court may dismiss any action for which a person is prosecuted for operating a vehicle in violation of this subsection if it is found that the defendant had reasonable grounds to believe that the vehicle was not operated in

The term motor vehicle as used in this section does not include motorcycles.

2.5.2. Manifolds are not considered components of the noise reduction
system.

This is a lot of good ammo. I hope someone puts it to good use.
