Ok, last night I got stopped by the same county cop that gave me a ticket for my license plate cover a couple months ago. In the previous stop, he told me it was illegal to make the exhaust tone of your vehicle louder than stock. I told im that wasn't the case, but didn't push the issue and he let it go.
Last night he stopped me because of my exhaust and we went through the whole thing again except I told him the cat back was labeled as 50 state legal. He retorts with 'That's not true and I've talked with the State's Attourney and he says that he will prosecute anyone that an officer decides to write up for this violation.' Then he handed me my stuff and let me go!? Don't get me wrong, I don't intend on changing my exhaust...but I would like to get the story straight and maybe have some back-up paper work with me if the cops are gonna start this friviless non-sense. Has anyone researched this issue in deapth. Any ideas on where to go for Illinois legal regulations on the internet? Thanks, Marcus -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Well, I guess the Sherrif wasn't BS'ing me. Heres what Lucid posted on CII.
(625 ILCS 5/12-602) Sec. 12-602. Mufflers, prevention of noise. Every motor vehicle driven or operated upon the highways of this State shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler or exhaust system in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise. No such muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass or similar device. No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise of such vehicle above that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the vehicle, and such original muffler shall comply with all the requirements of this Section. (Source: P. A. 77-37.) check the archives - we had a big discussion on this earlier ------- http://www.legis.state.il.us/ilcs/c...25act5Sub73.htm did you know it's illegal to have a secret compartment in your car, and if found, your vehicle is subject to repossession. __________________ --nicbink-- -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo
