Man that's odd you got a noise violation ticket! The cop must have been in a ****** mood or something, there is SO many loud trucks (hell there is a lot of fart canned ricers too) around here and through out the state and I like NEVER hear of someone getting a ticket for it! My truck is loud, but not extremely loud. I've driven several cars and trucks with aftermarket exhaust and never been hassled by the law. Last fall I was driving my buddy's truck (93 GMC, 350, straights dumped under cab) back to his place for him, and was in town and going up a steep hill and the truck down shifted to second and the exhaust was just screaming. There was a sheriff parked half way up the hill, and I waived at him and he waived back. The law just isn't enforced up here anyways. Now tint laws, that's a whole nother story lol They are VERY strict on front window tint around here lol
