Since I'm thinking of possibly purchasing a spoon exhaust, just curious how many of you S owners out there were misfortunate enough to get an exhaust ticket. Also, what exhaust were you running and how did you handle the ticket? Some tickets are simply fix-it where you have to put the stock exhaust back on (pain in the ass) and get the ticket signed off by a highway patrol officer. Others I beleive count against your driving record.

Well, I did get an exhaust ticket on my Type R after gettting an initial fix it ticket about a week earlier. If I'm not mistaken, there is about a month leadway until you actually have to get the ticket signed off and fixed. It was during this time that I got another ticket. I explained to the cop that I already had a fix-it ticket, but he proceeded to give me another ticket--this time it wasn't fix-it. I would have taken care of the initial fix-it ticket earlier, but I had swapped my stock for a proto-type Tanabe. Won't ever do that again.

 

with the spoon, i am sure you shouldn't be doing WOT in front of cops.

but i wonder will the booming of spoon at low rpm and moderate aceleration will get people in trouble?

 

wondering the same thing.

Hey stockae, were you at the la crest run?? what does your s look like??

 

I have the Spoon exhaust and last year I got a fix it ticket for it. I put on the silencer and took it to CHP and the car passed, no points against my record.

 

I think that there is a thread currently going on about this in the Metro NY Owners Forum

 

ran the spoon exhaust for a couple months. Never ever got pulled over for the exhaust, and I never used the silencer.

 

9kRPMF20C, is the spoon exhaust much loder than the stock?
how much did you pay for it?

thanks

1) the spoon is barely louder (if even) than stock
2) a spoon cat-back is one of the more affordable systems





actually, i think only HKS makes a louder exhaust; maybe one or two others, but spoon is still noe of the loudest.
and spoons tend to be rather pricey. i mean, they are spoon!
