improper muffler ticket - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**whoaday** · 09-09-2007, 02:25 PM

I got another one on university a couple nights ago. I paid the first one but i was told not to pay it and fight it cause apparently everyone always wins but i just wanna know how everyone goes about this. The guy didn't even look at my exhaust this time so i don't know how he can justify it being "improper" if there is a different code for exessive noise.

Or don't drive like a heat bag

**500k_93_civic** · 09-11-2007, 09:03 PM

whats type of muffler is it?

**BLKGSR** · 09-12-2007, 12:05 PM

go ahead and fight the ticket. Piss the cops off, so the rest of us get tickets...

i've got a 3" exhaust (after turbo) and it's loud as hell and i pass by cops EVERYDAY and they haven't even looked at me. Either your ricer muffler is stupid loud, or your driving like a complete jackass. Either way, you deserve the ticket. ESPECIALLY since it's your second!?!

Maybe he just happend to be at the wrong place/wrong time. I agree, if you dont own a V8+ or making excesss of 300hp and your making excessive noise in a 4cyl....somethings wrong, very wrong.

**fixitmattman** · 09-13-2007, 03:42 PM

Exhausts are for pussies

You deserve a ticket just for being yourself Matt... but I would love to try and get a ticket with my exhaust!

**Layzie_bone** · 09-18-2007, 04:47 PM

i got a muffler ticket the other day and i have a silencer in, cops will be faggots if they feel like it, drive like a goof or perfectly normal. If he feels like giving you one he will

Was it an "improper muffler" ticket or "Unnecessary noise" ticket?

**Trance|Ghost** · 09-18-2007, 11:30 PM

^thats the key question right there...

I'll put money on the unnecessary noise, for driving like an ass clown.. haha.

won't be afraid to admit I pulled off some stupid shit in my civic before (it was loud as hell to) and I got the noise ticket, not the muffler one.

**Slawek** · 09-19-2007, 12:23 PM

man i saw some older blue civic the other day with the loudest exhaust i've ever heard in my life.. wow.. like honestly, it makes no sense. You drive a civic, you're not getting massive increase in HP.. and besides even if you do get a small gain @ a certain RPM, who cares, you drive a civic. Spend your money on something beneficial, like a retrofit. Performance exhaust on an S2000 is a different story, where you can actually beat something other than Cavaliers.

**blue collar customs** · 09-22-2007, 10:28 PM

i drive a lumina lol with a muffler...decently loud...i can drive like an asshat and it doesnt matter lolcops think im on old guy with midlife crisis...my solution buy a family sedan put a jesus fish on it with a loud exhaust and terrorize the streets lol

**_HeC_** · 09-22-2007, 11:54 PM

^hahaha
ive gotten a improper muffler ticket once but i was speeding adn he let me off wtih hte muffler ticket instead, i jsut payed it as he was nice enough not to give me points and a bigger fine for speeding.....and shortly after i put mufflers on my car, i wasnt running any b4 and now have dual flowmaster 40 series which i love :P but its a V6so its a nice growl

**rough** · 09-25-2007, 09:35 AM

I6 motor, '76 Datsun, no res, no cat, 6-1 header, high flow muffler thats loud. i drive normal and this car is loud anywhere under 3000rpm which is called intown driving.
most of these tickets are not becuase of the muffler but the driver and their habits

**accordboy** · 10-26-2007, 01:08 AM

soo his question was how does he go abouts to dealing with it other then paying

listen bro go into court and say listen i just finished paying this ticket and i can't afford to put a new one on now cause i paid the ticket i feel that if he would of warned me i could of replaced it and no harm done
just tell them your some poor starving student and if they keep giving you tickets u can't afford to replace it

they will drop it with no questions asked!

if u are a poor starving student why do you have an aftermarket exhuast on the car? should u just have a bus pass to save money?

**Quiksilver** · 10-31-2007, 02:42 PM

BUSHLEAGUE! i was driving my bros car with his louder exhaust and i got stuck in a ride program stop. I wasnt drinking but i got a warning that his exhaust is too loud. bushleague!

**mazdaspeedpower** · 10-31-2007, 03:08 PM

I cannot wait to be worrying about how loud my exhaust. I mean that literally and sarcastically at the same time. I can't wait to have 3inches turbo back and a new exhaust mamifold hi-flo cat'd. I'm gonna see how loud it is without a silencer and if I cannot control it by driving like a normal person I will just drop the silencer in. if it's still too loud I dunno, I can't drive

. I think it'll be fine but I know I'm gonna add a bit more care still even to my street driving. No speeding, no hard accelerating, no tire chirping on hills(stunt driving right? well this is fun with my clutch.lol. skillful master I have become)

**farhan** · 11-09-2007, 03:45 PM

fuking my school cop pulled me over and said my exhaust is too loud and if i dont put the original muffler on by monday hes gonna ticket me. wtF!!!
