Default exhaust too loud?

yea i know its a saturn and its a waste of time putting any money into it but i just put a new muffler on to go along with catback piping and its pretty fuckin loud. I think the legal limit is 95 decibles? how would you measure the decibles? do shops do it? and has anyone ever got pulled for just that? thanks, and bring on the flaming

It's both ugly and illegal.

Good job.

Hey man, I dont know any shops that test it. But, you can always invest in a decible meter and check it.

Decibals or no decibals, an aftermarket muffler is illegal. End of story.

No, because truck drivers aren't ignorant assfucks like Saturn drivers with ass-sounding exhausts.
