So apparently my step dad thinks my muffler is too loud.
He says the cops will pull me over and I will get a ticket.

Sorry, i got to vent. He's such an asshole.

I walk into the house and he asking me why my muffler is so loud.
First off, its a 50 series, I didn't think it was that loud. It's not a Super 40, haha.

I said, idk.. It just is.
So as i'm walking up the stairs, he told me I'd get in trouble because it's illegal. I said, okay? I highly doubt that, go call the cops for me. I told him. lol.

Then he says. "**** YOU".

I dont know what his problem is.
Always questioning my personal stuff. Why this, why that. Oh this is better. He's that kind of person. So ****ing annoying.

Anyways, is it illegal?

Thanks for your time guys! :) ha.

At some point of my throttling, it will sound deep, but not extreme. Just a good beasty sound.

Doesn't help when I had a Cherokee in front of me, and a laredo behind me when i pulled into my driveway. he wont believe me anyways. ha.

No it's not illegal, as far as being too loud, that depends on how much of an asshole the cop that would even attempt to pull you over and ticket you for it! lol..

in most states there is a law against a "loud" exhaust..FL happens to something about it (id have to look it up) but no one enforces it..theres alot of dumb bs as laws that dont get used unless your an ass to the officer and they want to hit you with something. its the magical world of laws..

Hahaha, its a little late for that. He's literally in his room pouting. After I went into my room, he stormed off and slammed his door. haha. My mom is like, if it gets too loud on your jeep, you need to get rid of it. I'm like, mom, I MODIFIED my jeep to make it that loud. It wont get any louder. It is, what it is.

God, moms just dont get it!

Man I went through the same stuff with my parents when I first started modding my cars at home.. lol

"thats illegal" .. "thats gonna void the warrenty" ... "that looks/sounds like crap" yada yada..

They get over it and let you do whatever eventually! :) Then you move out, and do whatever the heck you want! hahaha

Andrew

My mom loves my jeep. But its the illegal crap she worries over. Like it's too good to be true, so shes adds in the "oh, that's illegal". haha.

I'm 20 years old, let me do what i want. Damn. lol.

Chris

You pay for the car and insurance right? If you do, that's all they need to know! If anything happens with something you added, you can take care of it yourself bro, let em know! lol

Andrew

Vehicle is paid, I pay for my insurance. She has no say into what I put on it. :)

Is it louder than a Harley...Nope didn't think so!

I know it's not louder than mine! All I have to quiet mine is a Turbo..straight in and out with a atmospheric wastegate dump too...Not quiet in the least bit and yeah mine is way louder than a Harley! Heck it sound like a 747 Jet if I step on it! Soon as I get my rims (umm...tomorrow!) I'll get a vid up.

Your fine man! If you run into any troubles up there PM me. I trained alot of them up there and they still have some of my tactical gear I loaned to them!

hah good post, my mom asks each time she calls what I'm doing to my jeep. we have 4 jeeps in the family so its always a good topic to bring up. when I moved out in 05 my rents got really cool and now they are always trying to get me to visit - funny how that turns out!

if the only thing they are getting on you about is your exhaust I'd say your doing good, lots of crazy stuff going on in the world hah.

Buy some weed, lay it next to your Mods, ask them to choose which one looks illegal......

Then enjoy your modding days!

I know. I blew up and had to vent on here. :) Especially when it's JEEP related! ha.

So I'm trying to reach Stephen, the guy who paints my stuff, he must be busy. Asking him about my door moldings he shipped off last week. :/ worried.

Flow 50s can be heard from quite a ways away. Quit your bitching, listen to your parents so long as you live under their roof.

Yep. Calling your dad an asshole? All for showing some concern over your well-being, however incorrect he might be? You've got some nerve.

If my old man caught me calling him an asshole to folks, I'd probably STILL get the life beaten out of me. I'd do the same if you were my spawn, too.

Show some respect for your folks.

He said it was his step dad, big difference.


Punch a hole in his muffler during the night, then set up a video tape on his car when he starts it up in the morning, and wait for his reaction. That would be some funny stuff.

Your his new dad or what? Like said above, it was his step dad who was doing the bitching. BIG DIFFERENCE!

Step dad, and biological mom were both complaining.

lol.. give the kid a break, i'm sure when you were that old you never complained about your parents or their opinions? :)

Oh boy, here we go.
You don't read, do you.

It says Step dad first of all.
2nd, I was nice to him about the situation until he said "**** you", all because we didn't agree with each other.

Not sure where your getting the whole respect bull crap when he's not giving me respect to begin with. He doesn't care, I'm not his real son.

He's the one that has the nerve to say it.
He's living under my moms house for free, has 2 credit card companies sueing him because he never paid them back. Hes a true loser. He's done nothing for me yet, and it's been 2 years. I could give a shit about him.

Oh well then you Sir have the full right to call him an asshole. He is a loser.

Give him a big "**** you" from all of us here as well next time he gives you shit! lol

I agree. Most cops won't mess with you because they're muscle heads, too. Unless you ride by them in 2nd gear on purpose. Lol. Now, NO MUFFLER, is illegal but I read all the time that mufflers and systems are 50 state street legal. Find that about your muffler and shove it in step dad's face. If your not messing with emissions,you should be good.

In addition...what self respecting man doesn't appreciate the sound of a nice muffler? Is yours a V8? If so, he's worse than I thought.

Andrew
10-25-2009, 01:14 PM
Haha, it's only a l6.

Oh I will Chris. LOL.
