I use to keep a copy of the law in the car with me, cops liked to tell me its illegal because its not OEM, its illegal because its straight through, it won't pass emissions, blah blah. They usually changed their tune when I politely told them I have a copy of section 75A (think thats the right one, its been awhile) in the car with me & if they'd like to go over the details with me to see what part of the law my muffler doesn't meet?
There is nothing in that section that states the muffler has to be OEM, it doesn't even have a specific limit. It states you must have a muffler, it must prevent excessive noise & can't be modified (ie gutted, etc). A dB test was always enough to get the charge dropped for me.
Frederic, I'm using a universal Vibrant, 3" in dual 2.5" out. Then I have a pair of Vibrant slanted, 2.5" tips welded on. The tip shape & size is almost identical to the stockers, I even had them welded stagered to follow the body lines, just like stock. The muffler comes polished, I bead blasted it to give it a factory OEM colour. I've had other DSM owners think my muffler was stock, it is that good.
Mike, I do have some pics but nothing uploaded online, will try to do that sometime & post them up here.

I will be contesting the ticket, based on the way the QC cops judge that it is too loud. He pulled me over, was able to put a measuring tape in more than 30", he said this made it illegal. So I asked what about SRT4's, and Mazda Speeds, and yup, how about your crown vic patrol car with mufflers mid stream, hell you could put the tape in about 6 feet. He said it didn't matter. Ok, fine, be that way. Here is a good resource for anyone who wants to fight a muffler ticket. http://autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=0383&P=1Also, here's a pic from last night.

White has always been such a hard colour to find in these cars. Looks amazing and love the rims

I live in a small town east of Ottawa and the only other DMS I notice is another white 2g. Quite a few white DMS in the Ottawa area actually.

I've been lucky so far. I've passed cops several times and quite a few of them were staring at me. They might have had something better to do than stop me for missing front plate. Or they just thought I was from Quebec I need to fab some kind of bracket to get it mounted away from the FMIC, and without drilling holes in the front of the bumper

I'm trying to avoid blocking the the FMIC as much as I can. Thinking I'll try mounting it Evo style.
