Avoid an Improper Exhaust System
Yes, you can get a traffic ticket for having a vehicle with an improper exhaust system. This includes the muffler, manifold pipe, and tail pipe.In many instances getting ticketed has nothing to do with improper exhaust, but instead with noise. Faulty exhaust systems often create decibel levels in violation of local noise ordinances.
Check Your Vehicle's Smog and Emissions
If you reside in a state or county that mandates a smog check or emissions testing, you also run the risk of failing your inspection, which carries heavy repercussions.Most state DMV offices now place proof of a valid inspection certificate on par with proof of car insurance in terms of importance when it comes to vehicle registration or registration renewal. No inspection means no registration, rendering the vehicle illegal. If you attempt to drive your vehicle without a validated inspection sticker or a current registration certificate, you'll risk getting hit with heavy fines and possible license suspension.
For more information on faulty exhaust systems, contact your DMV or research your state's vehicle codes.
