Straight pipe legal in PA and NJ???

[Turbo]

Hi all. I would really like to put a 4" straight pipe from turbo back on my truck but I live in PA and am thinking about moving to NJ. Would that pass there standards there. And if it does where is the best place to buy the kit? And about how much does it cost. Thanks a lot

I have a 12 valve 1998, and nobody at inspection cared. I was VERY suprised when they didnt say anything.
Unless it's REAL LOUD I dont think you'll have a problem.
BTW why would you want to move here??

I believe the exhaust is also a federal issue. just like tampering with the fuel system.
The TDR site probably has more users that are acting felons than any other site on the net!

I have been running a straight pipe on my 94 for about 2 years now, no trouble with the law at all.

Hate to be a party pooper but in the "owners manual" I found this: TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED

1. The removal or rendering inoperative by any person, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement , of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

What Vincent is pointing out is the possibility of going to your truck in the morning to find Janet Reno "pulling a vacuum" on your straight pipe... . not a pretty picture!

I'm here in the central PA area and have never had any problems with the removal of my cat and muffler combo,,Well only one,Ok,Ok,I was a victim of circumstances,,As I explained to the unhappy officer,it was not my fault,,It all started with a powerlesspuke driver and his thinking his truck was bad,WELL as we both had a nice chat with the man,and he explained how our stupidity might and could effect our CDL liscenses(seems he took offense to my tires frying thru the intersection),,He then sent the disgruntled Furd owner on his way with a warning paper,then talked to me about my truck and the nice sound(seems he was a CTD fan all along,and no mention about my straight pipe),,He told me not drive on the street like this again and sent me on my way,no warning paper in my hands,,Story you say,THINK NOT, Just ask my unhappy wife who was with me and barked all the way home about my stupidity,,Stupidity she says,Its all about POWER and who has it I explained to her,Furds do not and we do,so we need to educate them(as I type this little tidbit,she just went by and slapped me on the head),,LONG LIVE THE THUNDER TRUCKS!! #ad
