^^fit more mufflers? the stock exhaust will possibly fail if it has the original mufflers (burnt out baffling) on it

even with these hot rodders with club rego. if i only drive my car twice a month on normal rego, and it is a 1/4 of the volume of this blown 605 hemi i am talking about. What makes his car any better for the other drivers around ???

it is illegal unless i pay for it up front? what kind of bullshit laws are they. if you can legally drive a hot rod with an engine louder than a f**ken indy car just because of some rego, i see no difference why i shouldnt be allowed to do the same. It makes his car no less of a distraction the fact he has some fancy rego sticker. nor does it make it safer. it is bullshit regardless how you look at it

I'm not sure what you mean.

Their cars aren't better, and they are unlikely to be legal if they're as loud as you say.

If they get caught, they're have to follow the same procedure as anyone else to have a defect or EPA notice cleared.

I'd imagine clearing an EPA notice on a blown hemi would be a hugely difficult thing, unless it has a full engineers report for all the mods.

but that is what i am saying. with these club regos, i have spoken to three people in recent days with them with insanely loud hot rods. (i am only using the hemi in example as it was, by a freaking mile, the loudest) according to him the thing was legal at whatever thousands of decibels it was at. BECAUSE it had a club rego.

No I do not usually take people for their word if I do not know them, or they are claiming something crazy like this, but in the 40 min talk we had at that servo, there was not a single thing he said to me that was not clarified by something else he said. Wen he told me he had 6 hot rods at home I was a little bit iffy, then he started telling me what was in them and showing me pics in his garage.

What I am saying, is there is no reason he would have lied to me about the rego compared to the other things he said, and I believed him. In his claim, his 605 blown hemi was legal
