Farout thats pretty strict'd,

if only stock exhausts came with a silencer

Hmm, might need to stuff some cotton wool in your CAT for the test.

did u get done by cops or complaints by public?

[dlai5552]

far out. that's epic, I've been using 70RS for 2 months, and no cops have pulled me over. And I've got an intake too :S
although, the 70RS come with silencers, did you try them?

You might want to call honda and ask how loud the car is stock. I remember reading somewhere a LONG time ago that the car stock actually is too loud, but still was allowed to be sold due to a loophole. Look it up....or as aus said, stuff your cat, with steel wool though, not cotton wool.

Just did a quick search and stock the db reading is 91.5Db, which is in excess of the legal limit but I think in 1999 db limits didn't apply and hence it got through.

an aftermarket header does increase the sound dude, change it back to stock, and while your at it shove your stock filter back on but the header is what's making the noise.

Ain't got the stock headers. steel wool it is !!!

[krogoth]

make sure you put the steel wool before the cat, or it will it eventually fly out lmao
