it might be because it doesn't meet the dB limits.

a lot of exhausts say they arent street legal. Depending on how strict your area's testing is you should probably pass inspection.

They post that as a disclaimer. They don't want to be responsible if you cannot use their product in your area pending local laws Like everyone else has said.

thats a ridiculously great price for the turboxs, ESPECIALLY since it includes a race pipe.

I honestly don't think its that loud, its the best sounding exhaust for the 8 IMO. I maybe biased since I own it, but that was the reason why I bought it.

i have a few of the same mods as you do, i think, and we're the same color.

if you have the baffles in the exhaust the turboxs+pipe is not loud at all. at a 65mph cruise, you cant hear it at all. during acceleration there is a really nice growl.

honestly i love the sound.

remove the baffles and.... well you've got a race car. you should wear a helmet or some other ear protection while driving for extended periods of time.

Your state website, and DMV subsite should be able to help.

I think it's a little quiet at idle, and very distinct at WOT! I always get looks when I get on it...
