Sound Violations

A new law (27150.2 VC) has been passed that does not require police to use a sound meter to test for excessive noise. A citation is now based upon the police officers judgment. Cited violators may have testing done at a smog referee station.

All of our Cat-Back Exhaust Systems comply with the 95 decibel limit, with the exception of the Magnapacks. Our products are designed and tested to meet legal sound level limits; however, when used in conjunction with other products (such as air intake systems or exhaust headers), the overall combined effect might cause particular vehicles to exceed the allowable limits.
