This is my car with longtubes and TSP true duals. It's very loud. I don't have any issues with getting pulled over but the cops around here are quite lenient as long as you aren't doing anything wrong they wont pull you over for just the loud exhaust

I've got Texas Speed True Duals on my heads/cam car and it's very loud. I love loud though, so the louder the better. Like others have said, as long as you're not doing anything stupid, you won't get bothered by the cops.

I'd say yes, it will be louder. If you did get pulled over for doing nothing other than "having a loud car", I'd be a real dick to that ************ and make him show you in writing what the hell you did wrong. Find out first if the city/town you live in has any kind of laws regarding loud cars/radios, etc. As long as you've got a valid driver's license, insurance, registration and current tags/inspection, I think you'll be ok. And, if there aren't any laws regarding "having too loud of a car" and you keep getting pulled over for nothing, tell those ******* that you'll be getting an attorney and filing a "discrimination" lawsuit against them. It just kills me how all this crime is going on, whether it be drug dealings, killings, rapes, etc. but the cops want to waste their time harassing people with loud cars.

Ill look into it but i do know that here in socal we have a modified exhaust reg that basically states if ur exhaust isnt stock then u can get a ticket. I personally hate socal but im here for now. Its dumb cause a harley can be as loud as they want and not get loud exhaust tickets. **** it i guess ill try it. I can always go back to a y pipe.

I used to want to live in SoCal when I was younger, but now that I'm older and wiser, you couldn't pay me to live out there. A modified exhaust regulation, give me a ******* break. Hell, if you get pulled over, just tell the cop that it is the stock exhaust. Chances are they doesn't know **** about F-Body cars anyway.

There is in Nazifornia where they hand out state ref tickets like government giving bailout money to financial corps.

I love TDs and they're ok if you don;t drive a lot but I wouldn't run them in Ca.

Thats why I have a Flowmaster merge y pipe, electric cutout and a hooker CB setup. That way I can tame my car down when Mr. Officer is around me.

Loud is subjective, but if you have to ask then I would say YES, it is too loud.

Get a nice flowmaster merge into a 4" pipe with a cutout and a quieter exhaust like magnaflow.
