Are MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust systems legal?
With the exception of Magnapacks (local laws vary for these systems) ,all of the systems we carry comply with federal and state laws. In terms of noise pollution, the products we carry are designed with legal sound level limits; however, when used in conjunction with other products (such as air intake systems or exhaust headers), the overall combined effect might cause particular vehicles to exceed the allowable limits. A new law (27150.2 VC) no longer requires police to use a sound meter to test for excessive noise. A citation may now be based on the officer’s discretion. Cited violators may have testing done at a smog referee station. www.sema.org ( SEMA is a trade organization of the automotive aftermarket) is a good resource for researching your consumer rights.
