new law in Massachusetts

There is a new state law being voted on in Mass that would make it illegal to modify your exhaust in any way. THIS MEANS THE ONLY EXHAUST PARTS THAT YOU CAN HAVE AND NOT BREAK THE LAW ARE WHAT WAS ON THE CAR WHEN IT LEFT THE FACTORY! Here is where you can read about it in detail. http://musclemustangfastfords.com/ho..._exhaust_bill/

Ok... thank God I'm not from Massachusetts, I think that is absolutely absurd.... your car, your money... it's none of their business... unless what you're doing is hurting someone else... which I mean how could that.....

I most definitely could be wrong...

But the last time I heard of MASS auto laws...they were not required to wear seat belts. I read something a while back that eluded to their state slogan, WHICH IS QUOTED ON THEIR LICENSE PLATES, "Live Free Or Die!". Apparently, wearing seat belts restricted their freedom and that's how they were able to bypass what the rest of the country was able to enforce.

Yet they want to ban efficient exhaust????

Go Figure!

I want to see what they are going to do with vintage cars that you can not get a factory exhaust system for..."I'm sorry Mr. Smith, but I have to give you a ticket since your bone stock 1940 Ford's muffler does not have a Ford logo on it"

Mass must be full of politicians...just saw on yahoo where they are passing a law to make Health Insurance Mandatory....if you can't afford it it will be provided.....if you can and don't have it you will pay a yearly tax penalty until you get it and if you already have it you might seem a small decrease in your premiums.......think I'll stay where I'm at.......

well we can blame this on the ricers and their fart cans. do they really think it makes their cars sound good?

laws like this are just meant to give cops probable cause to pull you over, it won't be enforced unless you are being a pain in somebody's eardrum
