Did you know altering your vehicles exhaust to produce louder noise is illegal? Excessive vehicle noise will end up costing you a ticket and a fine. Michigan law requires vehicle exhaust systems to be in good working order, and not modified to produce more noise in excess of legally established limits. Please be mindful of your neighbors and keep the vehicle noise down.
