Take it somewhere else. Some places are more strict about stuff like that than others. Ask some of the people in your town with an aftermarket exhaust where they take their car to get inspected.

I got my car inspected twice with a Loudmouth, and passed both times with no problems. The first time was even at a state-run inpection station! They did comment, but only said that's the way a sports car should sound!

Z- RATED is right SLP LOUDMOUTH is a 50 state legal exhaust.

Sound levels are vary from town to town, there is no state wide ordenance in any state. It is up to each town to set it's noise polution level.

In a nut shell you can tell them to if you know what I mean.
