haha, i'm fairly confident that to pass a roadworthy you'll need a second resinator on there. Shouldn't be too expensive though.

My car isnt over loud or anythin without the resie. Its just a bit more of a deeper tune. Its still a little louder without it but only if your reving over 3000rpm. If your just clusin in forth its still pretty quiet. And what about all these rice cars you see (WRX's n stuff) they are still louder then mine and there everywhere.

I don't think it matters how loud your car is. It's a legal requirement to have two resinators. A car with two mufflers making 70db of sound will be legal, and a car with one muffler making 50db of sound will not.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

(and I think cherrybombs count as a legal resinator.)

Well a fair few people at school have the ressies taken off and havnt had a problem with police. yet. And yeah if you just baby it, it is still pretty quiet and no1 will know. But if i do have any trouble i still have the ressie they took off so i can just weld it back on.

On the way home a cop pulled up beside me and i was shittin myself because i just left the exhaust shop and thought i will get pulled over but i just drove normally, changed gears under revs and cops didnt even take a look or anythin.

Could be a state thing. I failed a roadworthy for having one resonator ^^

Heh, Just don't tell anyone ;) I liked the sound of my Commodore before, when it had a 2.5" system with one muffler and a busted cat. That's how I bought it ^^ As long as you don't have to get roadworthied (or canaried), you'll be fine.

Bleedin' laws... now I have a stock exhaust on there 'till I save up a few dollars for a good Redback or something similar :)
