California AB1824 (exhaust system)

My CHP buddy told me that the “exhaust noise is subjective”. Also the CHP doesn’t carry decibel meters, have no training to conduct a roadside test.

Whether or not you get a ticket is subjective. The law and the testing required is definitely not subjective.

The vehicle code states where, who and how the test should be conducted.

Been there, done that!

Exactly!

No roadside tests, all the testing is conducted at specified referee stations using SAE standards.
