I was thinking this was the same as 1824 which we had a thread about in December.


Here is the language of AB 390:

AB 390, as introduced, Frazier. Notice to correct violations: exceptions.

Existing law requires every motor vehicle subject to registration to be equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise and prohibits a muffler or exhaust system from being equipped with a cutout, bypass, or similar device. Existing law further prohibits the modification of an exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner that will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor of the vehicle so that the vehicle exceeds existing noise limits. Under existing law, if, after an arrest, accident investigation, or other law enforcement action, it appears that a violation has occurred involving, among other things, an infraction involving vehicle equipment, the arresting officer is required to permit the arrested person to execute a notice, prepared by the officer in triplicate, containing a promise to correct the violation and to deliver proof of correction to the issuing agency, unless the arresting officer finds that a disqualifying condition exists. Under existing law, a violation of the above-described requirements related to mufflers and exhaust systems is included among those conditions that are disqualifying.

This bill would delete the requirements related to mufflers and exhaust systems from the list of disqualifying conditions, thereby making a person who is arrested for one of these offenses eligible to execute the notice as described above.

So, non-CARB approved exhausts are still illegal, same as they've been since 2013. They used to qualify for fix-it tickets, 1824 took them off the list of correctable violations, and now 390 is putting them back on.

What is a CARB approved exhaust? Are you talking about the catalytic converter(s) or about cat-back exhausts? Any replacement part (headers, intake, ECU, etc.) that is considered part of the emissions systems requires an Executive Order from CARB. The CVC deals with exhausts - 27150 & 27151. The CVC is concerned with noise pollution not emissions.

Riddle me this.
I don't understand this.

It was correctable, now it's not, now they're trying to make it correctable again. Why did they make it not correctable?

I read modification to mean changing something that exists and continues to exist except in the changed form.

I take replacement to mean the original is removed and therefore could remain intact and unmodified.

If I remove the exhaust in it's entirety and replace it I have not modified the original nor the replacement.

I'm going only in the text in this thread.
