What the tip? Yes any tip size is legal i think, it's just the noise of your exhaust that you can get pulled over for, it's got to be over a set decibel level for it to be illegal, how the cops can tell is beyond me. Their was an interesting article in SCC a few months back about it.

That is wierd. :huh: But as long as you didn't remove the original catalytic converter and your noise level is reasonable, then it should be completely legal. What state are you in? |

dude, 5'' is no way legal. the cops don't even allow 3.5''. the biggest you can have is 3". the tone matters as much as the exhaust tip, unless you want to use your car for offroad, then it's ok to have that size. i'm assuming you are talking about a stock exhaust with a phony tip.

then you were had. I might not live in Cali but I have never ever heard of tip size being an issue w/the law in any state. Did the cop hear your intake and think it was your exhaust? It was either that or the cop was thinking how much he hated imports and then you come along.....
