Catch22!
12/17/2007 6:37:07 PM
Wow, you folks kind of have me scared to even ask a question.  But, that is what the site is for.
 
Ok, son was stopped last night by local police.  Car (97 RS) came with blue neon's inside and under and has non-factory can on the back. (don't have a clue to the brand, but it sounds a hell of a lot nicer than any of the clips in this post).  Nice sound on start-up, not loud but deep.  Does not start to get loud until you get up above about 2500 RPM.
 
So son does not listen to old man and runs the main drag with the neon's on.  Yea, like a big neon sign that says PULL ME OVER.  Officer is nice enough to only give him a fix-it ticket.  Gets him for having the neon's on (not legal in our state while driving), for having Blue lights (can;t even install them in your car in our state as they are what the police use) and amplified muffler.  No biggie on the lights, I can remove them and set it so he can reinstall if he wants to go to a parking lot.
 
Question is, does anyone have a suggestion for a silencer I could add into the exhaust to decrease the volume of the exhaust?  From what I can tell, exhaust system is an add on type system.  Appears to be a full stainless steel system from the headers back. Appears to have a stock cat converter from what I have seen on other eclipses.  Would rather not have to remove the rear can and replace it with a stock muffler, the car is not a serious contender (420a so that says it all), just a nice looker young man's first car.

Remove the lights, and get a stock 'looking' exhaust : ) Works every time.
 
Dont be scared, if your not a 17 year old that owns a ricer GS and a 15 grand quad.... and what ever else this moron said. You have to keep in mind he also said he didnt want a GSX because this was going to be his DD and he didnt want to spend the money on it. So he then buys a bodykit, a retarded wing, cheapo rims, and then says he wants to put high compression pistons in because he wants it to sound better.... douche.
 
See why that would annoy someone? : )
 
So if your name isnt 5star, you should have no fear.

My 1999 Mirage had Vibrant performance muffler with Silencer but my short ram is loud so the silencer on the muffler didn't do anything because my car was still loud.
 
I am still scratching my head about headlights that are blue. Because majority of Newer cars Now has Blue or White lights. So, If I am driving a 2008 Lexus,BMW or Evo Lancer and their lights are blue or white I will get pulll over by a State Trooper in your State.
 
The law in Massachusetts is that you can have Performance muffler has long it has A Silencer or it is not very Loud.
 
Don't be afraid as long your kid is not street racing and purposely making the car louder.
You are good to go.

I saw 5star You tube video it DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A RICER it sounded like a broken tail pipe
 
 a true ricer sound vroooom not craccckkk. Probably he changed the muffler but didn't change the rusted center pipe. I don;t understand the arguement that putting a muffler will make your car faster or an intake. it will cost you from $5,000 to $10,000 to make your car faster.
 
I have a Fujita SRI and Vibrant muffler Because I like the sound of it not because I want my car to be a Ricer. it is already a ricer because it is Japanese. if they call it Rice Rocket that would be different story

I dont want to have a 500 ticket if a police or a State hear me from a mile away.
 
Remember I live in Massachusetts our Emission Law is just like California very very strict and there is no tint allowed on the driver and passenger side of the car only in the back and the tint should be light not very dark
 
 
They invented those Silencer because when a Real Race Car driver who uses his daiy car for racing need to suppress the loud sound when he is not racing.
 
People in Florida use Silencer and they don't have emission law they can even put one way mirror on their cars because there are no laws for those kind of tint when I see them on the Highways in Jacksonville and Daytona
 
 
believe me or not I dont care

Checked my son's and it does not have a silencer, so we have ordered it just so we can get through the darned fix it ticket.  I agree that they look funny, but it should get the car passed.
 
As for the blue headlights, that is an interesting question. Don't know the answer.  Would assume as long as they are more white/blue you would be ok, police in Wisconsin use blue and red for emergency lights. Can;t have blue even installed in your car. You can have red lights if you are part of a vol fire department.

I live in Ma.  yet I have a heaviy modded Evo that is 10x louder than most cars on this site.  I havent gotten stopped yet and I still have a passing sticker too.   silencers look reatrded and yes those video clips are the sound of a ricer.  were those cars fast cars whould you say?  or just junk yark cars with straight pipes and morons videoing it like they sound cool?  they are most def ricers and I would laugh if a car sounded like that driving by me and the driver made it sound like that on purpose.
 
that said who give a **** 5star is gone from here and not coming back so let it go

alot of cars have blue lights now from the factory,  called HIDs.  My Evos are pretty blue for a stock car.  I wouldnt worry about them unless  his turn signals are not orange.
