well my friend stopped by my house he got pulled over by a state cop today about 3 hours ago, I'm like no ***** and told him about the post on here(strange how this came about)the state cop said it had to have the stock system, no aftermarket or modified exhaust + it was to loud. he has an 89, he was like and who has a stock factory system for my year? he said it atleast can't be loud they are cracking down. he didn't give him a fix it ticket.
I'm like wtf is going on here!! so we looked up the Mass general law chapter 90 section 7 here is a link...
http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/90-7.htm
basically only one sentance covers exhaust here it is.. Every motor vehicle so operated shall be provided with a muffler or other suitable device to prevent unnecessary noise. but chapter 90 section 16 states this..
http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/90-16.htm
no modified exhuast that amplifies the noise basically, wtf, this is so grey + they can't test this they have no #'s so what is loud??
the proposed bill 3574 which sema was trying to fight is isn't law a bill isn't law, if passed this was supposed to be inserted into line 176 of chapter 90 section 7 which is still unchanged, how ever this bill almost reads the same has section 16.
no where does it read stock,so the cop was wrong. we are held to mass general laws when it comes to this so he can't make his own. I'm keeping a copy in my glove box. this judgement thing is bull***** because they are not using a standard. most aftermarket stuff is C.A.R.B and 50 state legal and had to meet some type of standard to get certified so what is this crap.
according to sema's site
flowmaster and
magnaflow are 50 state emission legal and carb certified.
