    Has anyone replaced their exhaust in the SoCal area with an aftermarket one? Looking at Novitec or Kline, but don’t want to attract attention from the police. I know they’ve been cracking down on loud exhausts a lot more recently. I would get an adjustable valved one, to have the option to tone it down.

    Just curious if anyone has run into trouble. Thanks!

    I have race pipes and Quick Titanium exhaust on my Lamborghini and it is LOUD. I have never been pulled over but my wife has, she ended up getting a ticket for not having the registration in the car even though it was current. It was in the car but she forgot about the side small glovebox I keep it in.

    Was she pulled over the the exhaust? I had been pulled over years ago for a Tubi Race exhaust on my V8 M3. To be fair, I was revving it at night in a bowling alley parking lot in Glendale. The cop had pulled someone else over then followed me. Told me it was illegal to modify my exhaust then let me go. It was just because I was being dumb in a parking lot...I eventually added an X pipe it it toned it down again.

    Capristo level 3 on my Stradale... never pulled over... it is loud when you are ON IT HARD.. and im guessing, if i passed police at full song id be pulled over not just for how loud it is.. but speed at that point.

    i always short shift when police are near me....

    Cop was hired the week prior to pulling her over. It’s my small city so I went and spoke with the watch commander because he was a complete dick to her. He took care of the ticket and apologized. Never had a problem since.

    These cars aren't quiet. Any car accelerating makes a fair bit of noise. I think unwell you're drawing attention to yourself revving in the open, nobody is going to know. It's still a refined sound with an aftermarket exhaust.

    I’m not in Laguna, no. Looking at replacing the Pista and 812 exhausts.

    You will be fine with Novitec or Kline even if you decat. If you roll by police in high gear low revs, very unlikely the cop will give any extra attention to you. If you are at 8000rpm then yeah, expect to get pulled over.

    I'm willing to bet that if you rolled by a police car at 8000 rpm with the stock exhaust, you would still get pulled over, so no difference in outcome.

    However, if your car is decatted and stinking up like crazy during the pullover, your chances of getting sent to the state referee is much higher, so turn off the engine when pulled over.
