Is the buddy club exhaust legal? I tried to find their website but I couldn't find it. I plan on getting a exhaust from them when I get my car.

But any info would be nice

well since it's pretty much a pip that removes your cats and muffler...i would say yes...but then again, you didn't specify what car this is going on?

well then it all depends on the emissions of your state and or country/city and what the legal decibel limit is?

then yes, the buddy club exhaust would be illegal for you to have because i'm absolutely positive that it is louder that 95 db's

In FL, exhaust tickets can range from $86 to $100+

I got a $100 citation for mine. First time I got warned was on campus and the CP said it would be a $86 fine.

I don't think that anyone will say anything about it. When I lived in south charlotte, I had a flowmaster exhaust that had everything deleted, and straight pipes. It was loud as all hell. Never got a ticket, and nobody said anything, so I would say go for it.

they won't so s***. do work.

then again you could also go get an exhaust bent up that looks practically the same for less. how may cars you see with exhausts that have been rusted off or have holes in the mufflers and are annoyingly loud? nothing ever gets said.

only problem i'd see is when it comes to inspections; if they even look under your car and half they time they don't care. example..TTz, down pipes with turn downs, made sure the lights worked and passed it.

No its not legal, but if you get a ticket for it or not depends on where you live. Thankfully I'm one of the lucky ones that lives in an area that no one cares so I can rock my budddy club spec II without having to worry about it, because mufflers are for pussys.

i say go for it. what makes the exhaust sound different from one another is the thickness of the steel they use. GO for the BUDDY CLUB exhaust it does sound nice.

if you want another kind, get the GREDDY/TRUST PE II exhaust. this is a very nice sounding exhaust.

If by nice you mean gratutious amounts of ear bleeding sexyness, then yes it does sound nice.

i like the fact that my ears dont ring when im done driving my 240....the camaro i had, had full length hooker headers, true dual 2.5" exhaust and flowmaster 40's.... it was cool sounding with the fully built 350 but my ears suffered and so did conversation in the car...

my bike is loud as s*** too but thats ok.... its a bike lol...

noise tickets are just pay it and your done.... they suck but eff it... you like stock sounding gayness or powerfull loud hotness?

Psh, Spec 2's probably the most quiet exhaust you can get for an N/A KA.

Get it. Be cool.
