California has emission laws.
This was pulled directly from the California Vehicle Code... Exhaust Systems: Whistle-Tip Prohibition 27150.3. (a) A person may not modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle with a whistle-tip. (b) A person may not operate a motor vehicle if that vehicle's exhaust system is modified in violation of subdivision (a). (c) A person may not engage in the business of installing a whistle-tip onto a motor vehicle's exhaust system. (d) For purposes of subdivisions (a) and (c), a "whistle-tip" is a device that is applied to, or is a modification of, a motor vehicle's exhaust pipe for the sole purpose of creating a high-pitched or shrieking noise when the motor vehicle is operated. Added Sec. 1, Ch. 432, Stats. 2003. Effective January 1, 2004. Source: V.C. Section 27150.3 - Exhaust Systems: Whistle-Tip Prohibition See also... Vehicle Code Appendix B - List of Violations of the Vehicle Code Division 12 - Equipment of Vehicles Vehicle Code - Appendix B (List of Violations) - Division 12 - Equipment of Vehicles

There are also other statutes regarding the catalytic converter, but that isnt California law, it is CARB law.
Your vehicle must have a catalytic converter with a functioning O2 sensor attached. Its illegal to have a loudness level past 93db (could be 94). Thats it, keep it under 95 decibels, no whistle tip and have a functioning catalytic converter. |
