You'd be hard-pressed to notice the smell even if you were looking for it. I've literally stood behind my car just to get an idea and there's an extremely subtle undertone of a gasoline scent, and even that is barely noticeable. With my windows rolled down at a traffic light it's essentially nonexistent. I'd still turn my engine off if I were to get pulled over but realistically it's a non-issue. The sound on the other hand...

I was already state ref'd with the new exhaust ticket. $200 Fine for loud exhaust only

We have a thread going with some decibel readings . Even the stock car exceeded the 95dB limit at redline, and all the modified cars blew it away.

So then a stock car would pass, still probably not a modified one.

Yea most likely. I was looking at the chart you linked great information btw. I was looking at the parameters of how it's being measured and they're different from ca state ref. State ref measures 20 inches away from the exhaust at a 45 degree angle which could have a big difference on the decibel level being read.

Man... if you manage to get state ref'd for only MPE without any other mods I'll have lost all faith in our state.
Also, I'd strongly recommend looking into a tow-hook license plate mount if you really want to make sure cops can't find any other reason to pull you over. Keeping it on your dash won't suffice.

What are they going to do with the M and AMG cars I used to see rolling around. At 4k rpm, those are going to be pretty loud too...kinda lost faith in our state...

I used to just have a muffler delete when I got the ticket. I've already been to the state ref
