Just wondering if anyone knows what the factory Decibel output of the rb20e was? Both my exhausts rusted out so i threw in a new turboflow exhaust kit with a tip on the rear for looks, and im getting heat from the police for it being to loud. The legal limit is 95 and i come in at 92 so its legal, but they wont let me off it. Want to try to go to the other part of the law and see if it comes close to the factory output. Thanks

Thanks oh bugger,hard luck man,cant help ya there but once they have it in for you you are screwed,best thing to do is get dp reading and get print out and keep it in ya glove box,show em its legal each time,if they wana keep up the issue tell em to do a test at their expense?? good luck with that though.

Go for a new warrant even if its not due..... If it passes (which from what your saying it should) then he cant sting you? Point to the sticker and say bad things to him Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Only way I see out of it is get it certed but you have to ask yourself is it worth it ? but on the other hand if you get another ticket it may well be worth the cost of a cert

Haha its bright yellow lol and no, im telling the hole story. I dont go out to the drags at all, its lost the actual drag part down here, and i dont generally go cruizing or anything. Yeah might have to cert it after all, its just this one officer thats marked me. LOL love to throw a turbo on it but a) no idea what i gotta do and b) id rather drop a rb30e in and turbo that xD
