The point is they don't have to prove it isn't OEM, you will have to go to court to prove it is. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc... Have a "mild" exhaust mod like my Sharkwerks primary bypass and you won't attract any attention. Do the full headers, cats, and mufflers, draw attention, get ticketed. Try convincing the officer with bleeding ears it's stock

I agree with the bikes - obnoxiously loud and enforcement is weak.

In California, if the cop wants to bust you for an illegal exhaust and make it stick, they're supposed to prove it goes above a certain sound level like 95db or something like that.

That was a SMOG referee you went to, not a sound referee.

Believe me folks, it's illegal to tamper with your stock exhaust in CA. It's just not enforced. Obviously.

But getting back to the nice new Utah bill... Good luck with that..

They can ban aftermarket exhaust all they want and ban signal green Porsche while they are at it. I can care less


Exactly - when fundamentalist religion rules state politics, that's what you get.

I wonder if it would be legal to have multiple exhausts on your car in Utah ...
