I haven't had a cop look twice at my TRD exhaust. It looks stock and isn't much louder.

I just talked to the parts manager at my local dealer. I asked him if there was any issue with it and cops, and at first he said 'well did you see the label on the box about some states?' well there is no such label, so I said no. then he says well its a factory part, so I shouldnt have any issues. I then brought up the fact that they are selling a LB there that the preinstalled an exhaust on. he continuted to say that I shouldnt have any issues, they had been selling tacomas and stuff with the exhausts and hadnt run into any issues. I said thats why I bought it and if I got pulled over I was going to just tell them it was a factory part. he suggested I keep the recept in the car just in case which I was doing anyways.

I doubt I will have a problem and feel better now knowing that they will back me. If I have the recept and show the cops it and say it was from toyota, your right, they would have to sue toyota since its from them.

This article is talking about the exhaust issue however SEMA Action Network wrote up something that may interest you in MA. Basically they're saying that this new bill doesn't clairify specific alteration are, and to fight this new bill try writing to your Rep. Liz Malia.

In the article, they have mention some stuff on the benifits. Maybe you can discuss with the cop to try to get out of a fix it ticket.

ya, thats what im talking about. thats how it is now, no "clear standard to enforce, allowing them to make subjective judgments on whether or not a modified exhaust system is in violation."
I dont see how this is much different that how the cops treat altered exhausts here now... there is no clear standard, and has not been for years.

That pretty much means, get a ticket and fight it in the courts. The courts/judicial system are there to interperate the laws.
The police are part of the executive system, their only job is to enforce them. They don't have to know how to interperate them, or what they mean, they just enforce.

Then guess you'll be holding your receipt for your TRD exhaust to not get an altered exhaust ticket.
