“It’s important to note that the language of the legislation has not changed,” Savage said. “The provision restricting officers from stopping a vehicle for this violation is being removed effective July 1, 2022 which will essentially move this to a primary offense, rather than a secondary offense.”

I'll be interested to see how this will be enforced. Specifically, is a stock Supra in sport mode a "loud, modified exhaust system" that can be pulled over as a primary offense?

Man, I just got my exhaust installed. What is considered loud? I can domestics in my area from blocks away (Maryland), I know my Supra isn’t that loud but I’d imagine I can still get this ticket as well in va?

I mean stock mustang Exhausts are loud on some of the newer models. I hear VA is more strict with cars than CA.

Hopefully this becomes like CA where these laws are in place, but unless you get a officer looking to get people or are acting a fool, won't really matter.

Yup, you're screwed...time to start using a trailer to get the Supra to the track, lol.

maybe if I drive really really fast to the track they won’t even see me!

My fear is this becomes the new "I smelled weed" or "those windows are too tinted".
A free pullover to go on a fishing expedition.
