I can't believe it! I've had my Tubi on for a few years now and nobody has ever complained about noise level. Today as I was making a slow left turn into a parking lot (in first gear) from a stop, a police car pulls up behind me as I park my car and the cop proceeds to tell me my car is too loud. I told him "It's a sportscar, it's designed to be loud" and he looked kind of confused.
He then asked if I had any mods and I didn't want to lie so I admitted I had an aftermarket exhaust at which point he tells me he could give me a ticket, but he wouldn't, BUT I'd have to do something about it. Sheesh. Of all the exhausts, this is probably one of the quieter exhausts available for the NSX.
What's the law around this anyways? Is there some maximum decibel level for the street? Heck, buses and trucks are louder than my car when I'm just cruising so I don't see what the big deal is. If I was at WOT it would be a different story, but at low revs the Tubi is actually pretty quiet... and I was pulling into the parking lot from a stop!
