.....according to a real 'charmer' of a police dude.
He even tried to tell me to go to a dealer and compare it with a NEW stock VX...DOHHH!
Seems he was already having a bad day.....
....now I have to comply ( for a few minutes anyway!)
What a PITA!
jo
NEW VX ! :eek:
Where ? :confused:
You should encouraged him to join us :p
just tell him couldnt find a new one ,,and to ashure him they sound like yours...lol:p
Really??? Have you done anything to it since Moab? I thought it sounded just right. I still inted to copy ;)
Good Ol' SDPD, right Jo?? If it is not that, it is window tint and mudflaps....lol :mad:
Well, it is loud. I dunno 'bout TOO loud!
I forgot to ask you when we met, if you dont mind, how much did that mod set you back?
Best,
Its the same set up I had in Moab...though its mellowed out a tad now.
Cost was about $600..thats including a diamond plate muffler..and 'real' twin pipe plumbing with twin tail pipes on each.
Yea SDPD....cant find 'em when ya need 'em...then they pull the "noisy" card...
...while harleys and Ricers are ten times the volume!
Go figure...
I'll be a good boy..put a 'fix it' in for a while..then it'll mysteriously "break"!:rolleyes:
jo
thats funny because i just got the same ticket in my integra....and its very very quiet....i think he just gave it to me because it was a japanese car...
funny that you mention it today because i got a careless driving ticket in my VX today... aparently if you are going uphill on a little ice and wheels spin you are careless...

Jo, what a joke...
Was this in PB?
What's their 'suggestion', total removal?
So, one would have to a stand a certain distance, lets say 50 feet, away from the center line and measure the sound level (decible) as the car passess. And if it exceeds zero in this case, you are in violation?
Looking up the Noise Ordinance for San Diego:
Sec. 59.5.0402 Motor Vehicles
A. Off-Highway
1. Except as otherwise provided for in thin article, it shall be unlawful to operate any motor vehicle of any type on any site, other than on a public street or highway as defined in the California Vehicle Code, in any manner so as to cause noise in excess of those noise levels permitted for on-highway motor vehicles as specified in the table for "45 mile-per-hour or less speed limits" contained in Section 23130 of the California Vehicle Code, and as corrected for distances set forth in subsection A.2. below.
2. Corrections
The maximum noise level as the on-highway vehicle passes may be measured at a distance of other than fifty (50) feet from the center line of travel, provided the measurement is further adjusted by adding agebraically the applicable correction as follows:
Distance (feet) Correction (decibels)
25 -6
28 -5
32 -4
35 -3
40 -2
45 -1
50 (preferred distance) 0
56 +1
63 +2
70 +3
80 +4
90 +5
100 +6
3. A measured noise level thus corrected shall be deemed in violation of this section if it exceeds the applicable noise-level limit as specified above.
Yea PB....Quote:

As follows:-
Decibel meter placed 20 inches from 'source' at a 45 degree angle from source , and 8 inches off the ground.
Engine is revved to a level equal to 3/4 max horespower..sound reading taken.
Pass = 95 decibels or less.
It will be interesting to see how loud it is...:eek:
The police guy put "muffler louder than stock" on the ticket.....
Fair enough...but "stock" aint available anymore!
Oh , and he nailed me for no front Lic plate too!
:o

So your PD has a decibel meter? Or do they just say "yea, it sounds to loud...heres your ticket" and then you have to get it tested some place?
Move to Az....you don't need (or get issued) no stink'in front plate!
UMMM...yup!

I remember when I used to get pulled over for that... back when I was a punk kid... what's your excuse Jo?
I bet you're not 95db. How can they check if your engine is revved to 3/4 HP? are you going to be on a Dyno too?? :)
That is so San Diego Jo!! I remember with my lifted 88 Toyota 4x4 being cool and getting busted for tint, muffler, no mudflaps, and stereo too loud. I f_cked up and stated, "what are you trying to make your quota?" and lucky he didn't haul my *** in. But yet we have the lowered fast and furious cars with the exhaust systems (not 50 state legal mind you) and "Folgers Can" exhaust tips and nothing said, unless they are midnight racing which occurs rarely now cuz of the consequences. Sounds like "Officer Exhaust & BTW Front Plate" needed to make a quota that day.

Forgive me...what is "ORW"?
It started out as the "Off Road Warehouse" sticker on the back of Jo's ride...last year in Moab, it evolved.Quote:

is there any type of tip out there that will just silence the exhaust a little???
with jo getting this and me in my integra im worried about getting another one in my VX....
i have a PV2 (i know its loud) so im just wondering if there is a tip i can throw on there till they calm down with this noise thing?
Yep...this will knock a few dB off.Quote:

I installed one in my OEM exhaust tip, after I found that my Borla "Turbo" was a little raspier than I would have liked.
The angle of the pic makes it look shorter than it actually is, in theory, the surface area of the perforations is greater than the cross section of the pipe feeding the tip, so it shouldn't restrict flow very much, if at all.
Also, it's a REAL tight fit, & required a rather robust amount of flogging with the two pounder, not to mention a box full of foul language...:rolleyesg

Thanks, Dub..
As always, you know how to turn a phrase and make me smile...
"...a box full of foul language...."
A MUST for any mechanic's tool kit. Too bad that's about ALL I have in mine;)
Best,
I just moved here to Charleston, SC from PB. We rented a house behind the high school by the RV park. We could see the boat races from the roof.Quote:

So...I took the ORW to the City "testing" station to get a noise check done.
The computer buzzzzzed and clicked...and stated "No Information Available" on Vehicross.
EXCELLENT!
They printed out a sheet for me confirming I "tried" to get it tested...:rolleyes
Went to my Local 7/11...chatted up a patrolman AFTER he had finished his coffee and D/Nut!...
...got signed off!
$50 to the court for two "fix it" infractions..
...$0 to fix it!
A good result...and now I have documented PROOF that its been cleared by SDPD!
:p
jo
Awesome...
Too bad you didn't find the same one that ticketed you to sign off on it.
yes..doQuote:

Yes, perhaps you could do that 3/4 HP test and he'll find you again. Jo, don't forget to keep all of that paperwork in your VX glove box for "next time". Congrats on your victory. Oink, Oink.Quote:

SilverBullet,
Get to Moab and you can see the ORW in action. It's quite a sight (and Jo ain't bad either:goof: - sorry, must be the cough medicine talking).
DUDE!! Just come to Moab.Quote:
