Yes they do go on your driving record, as am I looking at my driving record right now. As far as insurance surcharges go, it depends on your insurance company. I currently have Progressive which i've been happy with until I found out that I was paying extra premiums for two, soon to be three non moving violations My other exhaust ticket was two years ago with my 240 turbo and I was running straight exhaust so no argument there.

This one however is bs, I was pulled over by a state trooper one night on 66 and he gave me all this shit how my exhaust was too loud. I explained to him it was 50 state legal and conforms to the 95 decible rule, which most states except Virginia abide by.

He asked me to start the car up and pull forward a few feet, yet my car had been running the whole time, I guess my super loud exhaust had made him deaf. I pull forward a few feet, slipping the clutch and keeping it at idle. The cop gives this bs saying yeah.....its too loud.

I never ended up going to court as Stillen was supposed to send me some documentation regarding the exhaust's legality. I just ended up paying it.

Back to the insurance, personally I find it ridiculous that my insurance goes up due to a non moving violation, I've talked with Progressive about it and they said any violation on your driving record be it a moving violation or not will cause your premiums to increase. This is why I will be shopping for a new insurance company next month.
