see if the place you got your exhaust from are licensed to do the testing. They will probably pass it without testing it as they should not let the car on the road if it is too loud as this could deem it to not be roadworthy.
If they can not try to get them to pay for the test or to quieten the system.

dude why don't you first buy a dB meter (you can get them from D/S for not very much) and check the level yourself?Originally Posted by guy 27

Because that still doesn't get him out of the little problem with the EPA...

yeah but if he reckons it's not that loud maybe the copper was just having a bad day (thus exhaust is within regulations). I mean you still have to do the check but at least you'll know if you need to change stuff to pass.

True. Just have to find out the precedure they use... ie how many rpm, distance from the back of the car etc.

why dont you write a letter to them questioning why you have been selected, when at no time did a officer pull you over and even speak to you or look at your car. you could say that the officer could have been incorrect and picked your car by accident, in which case you should highlight, that if you bring your car in, are they going to pay for your expenses, your wages etc, when at no time did the officer pull you over and give you a defect notice?
and in the mean time if your exhaust is detachable, maybe put a standard muffler on there or something.
Make me a sandwich.
