Exhaust "Loudness" Laws in Ontario?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if angry-cop's setup is legal here in Toronto/Ontario. How loud can exhausts go? I mean, I've heard some mean cars out there, and exotic cars...

This is Angry-cop's setup which I am planning on getting done today in about 8 hours. Can you guys let me know if this is legal? Thanks

http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthre...ight=magnaflow



Here is a video of Angry-cop's setup. Does this sound legal here? I want to emulate the SAME sound

Subjective based on Officer. There is an actual db restriction I've seen; I suspect 90% of Harley Davidsons out there exceed it so have fun!

Ah okay. Thanks for the quick reply. Aside from sound, is the setup legal? I heard certain modifications cannot be done.

Sorry. Me. Am. Newb.

I suspect no. Around here the Police have been known to use the broom pole test; no muffler no pass. Is that a muffler or resonator mid way?

If any cats have been removed then no, it's not legal. Was looking at that myself.

Your issue will be when you need to do your Drive Clean inspection next. Without stock emissions controls kn place they will fail the car.

Canadian Tire offers reasonably priced performance and appearance options to those that may not have the discretionary cash we do. Are you saying we're the only true enthusiasts

So they put it on the Drive Clean and it passed - that's great! I know when mine was done they were shocked at the readings - very "clean".

I am glad it worked out for you and don't want to cause any grief, but if they removed cats (which I believe they would have), I was told this is illegal. I was originally looking at this exact setup when I had my 3.0i last year and called a number of muffler shops who all refused to do it as they would be fined if caught and they all warned me that so would I if I was caught.

I certainly do hope it never comes back to bite you as I do really like the sound of this setup. For the price, a heck of a system!!!

my set up is not kosher.

and i have no issues with the law. knock wood.
louder than most cars on this forum. i was banned from the skidpad at summit point because of a noise complaint from a neighbor...that's how loud it is o.O.

it's a pain to daily drive, but i won't be dd'ing it much longer. it'll be track only soon.



also, the shop that did angry cop's exhaust fabricated my custom section1. good stuff from mighty muffler.
