The ORW is too LOUD!

[JoFotoz]

.....according to a real 'charmer' of a police dude.

He even tried to tell me to go to a dealer and compare it with a NEW stock VX...DOHHH!

Seems he was already having a bad day.....

....now I have to comply ( for a few minutes anyway!)


What a PITA!

[lasturbo]

Good Ol' SDPD, right Jo?? If it is not that, it is window tint and mudflaps....lol

[snowtrooper1966]

Well, it is loud. I dunno 'bout TOO loud!
I forgot to ask you when we met, if you dont mind, how much did that mod set you back?
Best,

[JoFotoz]

Its the same set up I had in Moab...though its mellowed out a tad now.

Cost was about $600..thats including a diamond plate muffler..and 'real' twin pipe plumbing with twin tail pipes on each.

Yea SDPD....cant find 'em when ya need 'em...then they pull the "noisy" card...

...while harleys and Ricers are ten times the volume!


Go figure...

I'll be a good boy..put a 'fix it' in for a while..then it'll mysteriously "break"!

[pbkid]

funny that you mention it today because i got a careless driving ticket in my VX today... aparently if you are going uphill on a little ice and wheels spin you are careless...

Jo, what a joke...

Was this in PB?
What's their 'suggestion', total removal?

[crager34]

So, one would have to a stand a certain distance, lets say 50 feet, away from the center line and measure the sound level (decible) as the car passess. And if it exceeds zero in this case, you are in violation?

Looking up the Noise Ordinance for San Diego:

Sec. 59.5.0402 Motor Vehicles
A. Off-Highway

1. Except as otherwise provided for in thin article, it shall be unlawful to operate any motor vehicle of any type on any site, other than on a public street or highway as defined in the California Vehicle Code, in any manner so as to cause noise in excess of those noise levels permitted for on-highway motor vehicles as specified in the table for "45 mile-per-hour or less speed limits" contained in Section 23130 of the California Vehicle Code, and as corrected for distances set forth in subsection A.2. below.
2. Corrections
The maximum noise level as the on-highway vehicle passes may be measured at a distance of other than fifty (50) feet from the center line of travel, provided the measurement is further adjusted by adding agebraically the applicable correction as follows:

Distance (feet) Correction (decibels)
25 -6
28 -5
32 -4
35 -3
40 -2
45 -1
50 (preferred distance) 0
56 +1
63 +2
70 +3
80 +4
90 +5
100 +6


3. A measured noise level thus corrected shall be deemed in violation of this section if it exceeds the applicable noise-level limit as specified above.

Yea PB....

I have a booking to be "tested" on Feb 10th...

As follows:-

Decibel meter placed 20 inches from 'source' at a 45 degree angle from source , and 8 inches off the ground.
Engine is revved to a level equal to 3/4 max horespower..sound reading taken.

Pass = 95 decibels or less.


It will be interesting to see how loud it is...

The police guy put "muffler louder than stock" on the ticket.....

Fair enough...but "stock" aint available anymore!

Oh , and he nailed me for no front Lic plate too!

So your PD has a decibel meter? Or do they just say "yea, it sounds to loud...heres your ticket" and then you have to get it tested some place?
