Yeah he asked the other guy if he has an epa thingy on him but luckily they didn't.. It's only got a 2 1/2 in exhaust, not very loud and it passed a roady so i doubt it'll be to loud. If it is god people with extractors and a cam will be rooted. My EL was twice as loud and they never questioned it.
"It wont pass it has to be 91 db when tested. i had extractors and a hiflow metal cat with a stock 3 muffler 2 and 1/4 system on for a test and it was 95db"
Mine was 79 with a fully stock setup. Doubt you'd have an chance as it's literally 3 times quieter than my 2 1/2" exhaust alone.

That's lucky as, i got extractors put on mine with the stock exhaust, deleted one small ressie, it's quiet as but has a decent note up top plus the 977B with a 110 lobe separation i just stuck in makes it fairly lumpy so it makes up for it lol
