I drive a 94 geo tracker and recently took the annoying import muffler the previous owner had off. I live in pender county and there are numerous inspection stations where they ask you, "does it work" and then give you a sticker without checking anything ( my inspection sticker is good til 2008). Anyway since I will be driving in Raleigh over the summer and during the 2007-2008 school year, is it likely I will be pulled over and given an improper equipment citation?

haha yeah it is loud, but not as loud as some of the trucks I have seen/heard riding around.

5/27/2007 5:50:02 PM

you know you could get a regular muffler welded on for real cheap

5/27/2007 6:12:22 PM

^yeah I was thinking about that, might check out some local places

i drove around for a while with LT headers, off road pipe, and a cutout in my 98 T/A for a couple months and never had any trouble so i doubt you will.

i mean, i know a kid that drove for months with a 5.0 stang with nothing after the h-pipe and never got stopped(2 dui's in 3 months later but..). it just takes u across the cops "let it slide" line IMO if ur doing something minor.

but 20$ on a cheapo muffler is more than worth the hassle, well that and not looking like complete trash.

5/27/2007 10:40:03 PM

midas will put a muffler on that shit for like 30 bucks

5/27/2007 10:44:44 PM

the geo asks you politely to take it out of its misery by going to a demo derby...

5/27/2007 10:46:05 PM

going into the derby in a geo will likely put the driver out of his misery...

5/27/2007 10:55:21 PM

shhhhhhhhhhh

5/27/2007 11:29:24 PM

^^ tis tru, they arent really built for driver safety

5/28/2007 12:28:46 PM

i would think any vehicle with any muffler would be less annoying than without.

I don't think a muffler is a requirement.
