Vortex and Cops in the city
Hi all
I received the Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler today but i just found out today that i can get stopped by the police for a loud muffler? (a cop friend told me)
I want to ask how loud it is?
I live in Chicago Suburbs and drive in the city and i pass through downtown now and then is it loud enough for a cop to notice?
Or if you are driving next to a cop or if he's behind you will he notice?
I usually don't go past 2500 rpm, how does it sound around there?
I've looked at all the Videos and listened to all the Audios, i still can't judge what the noise level will be in real life.
Thanks

I have a glasspack, which is louder then the vortex. I havnt had a problem with the noise law. Go to your local police station and find out the decible level thats legal. Im pretty sure it varies from state to state.
I really don't think you will have a problem.

I've had my votex on my 4runner for about a year now. I am very satisfied. I live about 5 hours south of Chicago and have visited my friends who live there quite a few times. I've been in front of and beside a cop and never even got a look. So I think you'll be fine.

In the city you will be fine, Chicago coppers have much bigger issues to deal with. Now the burb's on the other hand is a whole different story, they will look for any excuse to pull you over. However I can't imagine that it will be loud enough to get you pulled over unless you are really getting on it. What burb you in?
