the SRT4 comes with resonators and no mufflers. if somebody could explain the difference between the 2, you get a cookie...
the resonators, or wtf you want to call them, muffle sound. the car is not unmuffled.
with regards to baffled or not, a large bore muffler with a straight thru design still does not constitute a straight thru muffler..... by straight thru they mean guys in the 70s who would cut open their magnaflow, torch out the baffles and weld it back together, hence also the rod test.
your avg HKS straight thru muffler has glass packing and other sound reducing measures built in, hence it is not illegal.
technically this is all useless anyways. if you have changed ANYTHING on the car from the way it was insured in the first place as completely OEM, you are denied coverage and driving illegally, unless you have a policy adjusted for your modifications. Most of you dont. Think about it this way..... you are worried about equipment violations that will cost you less than $1,000 out of pocket even if they find you with 10 or more of them. You should be more worried about getting in an accident, being denied coverage for any one of those 10 modifications, and having to pay back $30million over the rest of your natural life.
realistically, anybody who has not got an updated and accurate insurance policy should not even be posting in this thread... stupid lighbulb violations should be the last thing on your priority list. you should be out attatching safety padding all over the outside of your car, or finding a good cardboard box to live in when the odds catch up to you.
Not to be a dick, but... "facts do not cease to exist simply because you ignore them" -benjamin disraeli. The HTA is not your biggest problem, for most of you. get your priorities straight. you can still drive your car with a loud-exhaust ticket.... you cant drive without insurance.
if you have an updated policy, nevermind me. :tounge:
