Yesterday I received a letter in the mail from the EPA stating that my car has been reported by a police officer as being too loud. So now I have to spend $35 going to get my car tested. I have had this done before to one my old cars which was an XE 351 and was way over the limit. But I'm pretty sure that my XR would be under the 90bd limit.
The thing is I can't remember exactly how they tested it. I think they put the meter at the end of the exhaust and rev the car to 3000rpm but I'm not sure. Has anyone else been reported and what did they do to test your car. It pi$$es me off that you can be reported for this regardless of how loud you car is and then having to spend $35 to get it tested.
