I'll find the paperwork. But the Greddy SP system is a factory upgrade, keyword factory, because it is the same exact exhaust as the TRD. Being a factory upgrade it is legal in any state. But you'll still have to do the court thing but you can get out of it.

2nd thought, you do have an SP2 which wasnt made for our car. SP was made for our car so the factory upgrade may not work for you.

Tough break niggs, theres always fubu

I live in Kentucky and we can pretty much do whatever we want. Cops pretty much look the other way a lot here but then again even a lot of state cops get busted all the time for drug trafficking and stuff.

i live in louisiana and our cops don't look the other way but we can pretty much do wantever we want to our cars sans lighting regulations (underbody, etc) and tint darkness - and as long as no one calls the cops on you for noise you can make it as loud as you want

EDIT:

just realized guess our laws say f the environment you just can't make your car look the way you want lol

neons under your car - hell no!! straight pipe - why not!!

I know in certain states its illegal to modify your exhaust. My friend lived in virgnia for a few years and new it was illegal to modify his exhaust but he never got pulled for it.

I believe we have no such law in North Carolina.

We have emissions and sound ordinance, but the only time cops here do something about it is when they want to mess with you.

I`d fight that one in court if you have a document saying that the exhaust is street legal in your state.

not as a factory upgrade though >wink.gif> the SP is the same exhaust as the TRD and would be able to obtain through ur toyota dealership when the cars were still being sold...
my exhaust is really loud when reved but nice and plesent at idel, just stay on the cluch when you see a cop, or dont take it over 2 (if you have a manual) and say its for looks only.

get a flowmaster or a borla muffler that could probibly pass for a stock muffler looks wise, and say you cant exsplane the noise, you bought it that way, and assumed it was stock.

ur in Fairfax dude, they are alot stricker in your county. i have friends that have about 5+ exhaust tickets alone.

PW doesnt give a **** about exhaust and what not, most of the cops i know in PW accualy like modified cars as long as your not a jackass driving them.

hows it taste motha f*cka
Well, the laws are different for each county. So checkthemout. If it doesn't say that modified exhaust is illigal then go to court and give the paper that you got with your exhaust that says that your exhaust is 50 state legal.

Vehicle and Traffic Law- NY state
§ 375

31. Mufflers and exhaust systems. Prevention of noise. Every motor vehicle, operated or driven upon the highways of the state, shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler and exhaust system in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise and no such muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with cut-out, bypass, or similar device. No person shall modify muffler or exhaust system, in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor or exhaust system of a motor vehicle above that emitted by the motor or exhaust system originally installed on the vehicle and such original muffler and exhaust system shall comply with all the requirements of this section:

A muffler is a device consisting of a series of chambers or baffle plates, or other mechanical design for the purpose of receiving exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine, and effective in reducing noise.

An exhaust system is a series of mechanical devices for the purpose of receiving exhaust from an internal combustion engine and expelling it into the atmosphere.

31-a. No person shall, in the state, sell install or use a motorcycle exhaust device without internal baffles, known as “straight pipes”.

31-b. No person shall, in the state, sell install or use a motorcycle exhaust device that is intentionally designed to allow for the internal baffling to be fully or partially removed or interchangeable. This subdivision shall not apply to a motorcycle manufactured or assembled prior to nineteen hundred seventy-nine or a motorcycle registered as a limited use vehicle or an all terrain vehicle pursuant to article forty-eight-A or forty-eight-B of this chapter.

so from wut i gather in NY u can install after market exhaust it just can't be louder then what your car sounded like stock.

that sucks.

You can modify exhaust but as long as its in the limit of loudness. That is the whole thing. In the rules it says that exhaust should not be loud but LOUD doesn't describe what is loud or not. So when you come to court you can show them that ur exhaust is 50 state legal and is its DB's are lower than max.
