yet another VS
Just got home from the exhaust shop. Got a 2.5" cat back and tip installed. :thumbsup: . now my car doesnt sound like a grandma's car haha.

Gives it a much better note. Not overly loud so i wont attract attention from the men in blue, but loud enough to sound nice.

What's the difference between a street legal exhausts and a non street legal one?
I was told that non street legal ones are cheaper,
but i don't want to get one and then have to take it off again.

As far as I know it wouldn't meet one or both of two standards

one you cannot let more than a certain amount of exhaust gas out the back
the other is 90 decibels is the loudest you can have.

You can have a really good system that will still meet both of these standards and if it's a v6 you wont need to worry.

Regardless of what exhaust you have on, you will let out as much-no more or no less-than the engine can produce.
The noise level and the amount of silencers are the only restrictions. You cannot exceed 90dbA as said, and you have to have the same amount of silencers as was factory fitted. I reckon 90% of the cars that have exhaust mods don't comply.

Spaced is an exec so I'd say it's not IRS.
