I can remember a cop stickin his billy club in my exhaust back in the early 80's. The law is already on the books allowing them to ticket you. I have had a stock set of pipes in a box sitting out in my garage for many years just in case.
Ca is not the only place they are cracking down on load pipes, there are several towns/cities/counties passing noise laws for that purpose. Just some places enforce the noise law more than others.
Dunno know but that Indian he rode in T3 was real POS! It needed to be terminated. Had the pleasure of working on special effects with my son on that one.
Living in California all my life, I have seen it get worse and worse as the years go by. This example is no exception to the rule. It is getting terrible in California.
What is the answer?
Is it time to move to a better state?
If so, which one?
I know the state is broke, but if we could just figure out a way to make some $ from our natural resources (illegal immigrants, earthquakes and smog) we would be OK.
