Default Decibel Limits?

it really dosn't have to do with anything, u'll get pulled over for just having a shiny coffee can N1 style exhaust even if you coast by a cop, whos on exhaust watch, making no noises at all.

95 dB is the decibel limit. It is only a California State Law though, IT IS NOT FEDERAL LAW. Which means, decibel don't mean crap in VA, MD, or DC.

If it is not stock (OEM) equipment, it's illegal. Period.

I actually did that when I did my header install.....cops didn't mess with me. We went driving around on edsall where there are tons of cops too. None of them even looked. It was awesome.
