It shook a Mountain View police car when the choke was on and I got a ticket for that. I put tail pipes on it and it quieted the car down A LOT. My neighbor's Mustang had turndowns and my dad measured it at around 94db when driving past our front door, and my car was around 84 with the tail pipes. I think California state law is around the 95db area. Full tailpipes do help a lot with how loud the car winds up. That and it makes it easier to talk inside the car. Now, while I did like the car's sound when it was without tails on it, with tails makes it a bit more bearable for others.

Yeah I was thinkin the DMV inspector would be a lot better chance of not having an issue vs the CHP. Like you said, unless the guy you got at either place was a car guy. I highly doubt the DMV has a decibel meter. ???
And I know I can and may add the tailpipes later if I want if it's more noise than I want. Just figured I start with loud and tone it down if need be. I think I have a higher tolerance for noise than most. And no radio or conversations are necessary in this car for me at this point.
Who knows... I may hate it and add the tails or at least over-axle pipes and dump behind the rear wheels after a week!
