I feel this law is being used as a gateway for officials to dig deaper and give them free run into any part of the car. It basically forces anyone to have to take their vehicle to a state repair inspection location. I don’t have anything on mine that would cause an issue at the state inspection location but the whole thing seams shady. My question would be for the actual test. They test the sound level at a specific distance and location from the tail pipes looking for anything over 95 decibels at idle or 2500 rpm. On cars with NPP exhaust, what mode are they allowed to use for testing? I for one would put it in stealth mode and lock the display into valet mode. I believe this would prevent access to the driving mode adjustments but I need to look it up to confirm. I get they are after the side show idiot crowd but with that $1000 fine you know the main point is revenue then safety second.
