Default Dumped Illegal?

Is having the exhaust dumped before the rear axle illegal, even if it has cats and bullet mufflers?

I think it depends on the state. Most states want you to at least get the exhaust back past the passenger compartment.

Nothing is illegal in Texas. Just pedal it softly when there's a cop around, and you'll be ok.

To be legal the pipes have to exit the under side of the car. It dosn't matter if it's in front or behind the rear tires.

I've heard that cars have to run 'em all the way out, but trucks can dump 'em before the axle because they are a decent bit longer than cars. Only what I've heard.

TEXAS

CARS: On a passenger vehicle it has to turn out after the last door and exit the vehicle past the body.

Trucks: It has to at least go past the cab but must have a turndown to be considered "finished"
