off-road h-pipe

ronny50 · 05-25-2001, 10:21 AM

What are the legalities of running a off-road h-pipe.

Has anyone ever been checked by a cop on the road.

What is the ticket for not running one.

Has anyone ever been pinched fo it?

If your state has emission laws the vehicle will prob fail with that one it. I have ran around my town with my 347 stroker w/headers and offroad h-hipe flowmaster exhaust and never gotten pulled over for it. Guess it depends on the cops..

I have found that some cops ask you about why your car sounds like that, but are way too lazy to look for themselves! I get more crap for the headlight and taillight covers! Good luck!

I've found that about 60% of cops don't even know about that law and the other 39.999% don't care. It's that .009% that you have to watch out for. I live in a town where about 1 out of every 4 cars and trucks doesn't have cats and I've never heard of anyone getting any fines for it. I have heard that the fine is pretty big, though.

Where I live (western NC) we don't have emissions inspections but we do have vehicle inspections and one of the things on the list is cats so they check for them. I just put my stock h-pipe on for the inspection every year. I've never had a cop question it or look under the car. It would depend on the cop. I think if you get a cop really mad at you (doing 90 in a school zone, being really rude, etc) they'll start looking for anything they can to give you more tickets.
