Seems like this is also a rule intended to be applicable to the sale of such vehicles. I don't buy for a second that cars with factory exhaust modes are blanket illegal in CA when so many modern sports cars have them. |
He was basically right behind the car. I don't understand this though. Here it says 50 feet, but every youtube video I've seen says it should be 20 inches away from the exhaust tip. Either way he didn't use a tape measure so I'll also argue that his test is flawed since he just eye balled the distance, and he was was not at a 45 degree angle either.
