Noise Violation?
I would love to get an exhaust one day. Like the sound of the single but I like Chadbee GT-R custom exhaust on his Z.
Thinking back on it, I should've bought the Nismo exhaust when it was on sale for $750.

After installing it there was a slight drone between 3-5k limit, I had access to some SS piping and a guy who had SS welding rods. I cut the pipe where it makes a T, made the bends more gradual(sort of obtuse Y). Made it slightly smoother.

There are way too many laws against loud exhausts lol, ever heard of "disturbing the peace" or "illegal car modifications - exhaust"
These are violations my friends have gotten in LA and in Vegas, more so LA though.

We have similar laws here - it is technically illegal to modify exhaust systems. However, you will only get a ticket for it if you've been pulled over for being an asshat.

here in va the law states "No person shall drive and no owner of a motor vehicle shall permit or allow the operation of any vehicle on a highway unless it is equipped with an exhaust system of a type installed as standard factory equipment, or comparable to that designed for use on the particular vehicle as standard factory equipment, in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise. An exhaust system shall not be deemed to prevent excessive or unusual noise if it permits the escape of noise in excess of that permitted by the standard factory equipment exhaust system of private passenger motor vehicles or trucks of standard make."
but i haven't been hassled for my exhaust. (test pipes back) but i would never rule out that i could be pulled over for it. the cops around here are pretty laid back on it seeing as they have more serious offenses to tend to, but there's always that one who's really bored and having a bad day.

I'm in Chicopee, MA and I don't have that problem. My car has an INJEN exhaust and the rear bumper is tucked so it can be seen. I've been stopped once for being in Springfield near the area where street racers hang out. The police just asked why are there TEXAS plates on my car? Military! From there no problems.

i live in California and i have been on both sides of the spectrum, before i got my 350z i had a 05 honda civic and i have exhaust headers intake and i got pulled over so many time its ridiculous, i would just put the silencer get the ticket written of then take the silencer back off lol then pulled over again the cycle went on and on and on sold the car got a z put dual intake and full exhaust really loud exhaust passed by cops in la, orange county san ber and they dont give a **** so yes cops are out to get civics which i never ****ing understood thats just wrong im happy tho i dont get hassled i already changed the exhaust because like some on said drone sucks and you cant even have a convo in the car and i just couldnt take it so i got a new exhaust and its perfect a little bit louder than stock but when you step on it then its loud ahahah .
I've been pulled over once in my drag Camaro when I was running open headers in downtown Virginia Beach, late at night. My dad was in the passenger seat and he was not impressed 
. The cops there are uptight like the KGB so I knew I was risking a ticket. Luckily the officer let me go because an urgent call came in, and since then I've kept my exhaust on to attract less attention. I've also been in the backseat of my friend's E28-swapped E30 when it was pulled over in Atlanta Michigan. We were there attending Sno*Drift and the cops were ready to give all the rally hooligans tickets. Somehow we got off with a warning, but I was so hungover I don't clearly remember what he told us
