Default FAQ about aftermarket exhaust sytems in California

Link to a quick explanation of Cali exhaust laws.

To sum it up; slip-on mufflers are legal for use unless the muffler being replaced contained a catalyst. If the headpipes contain a catalyst they can not be altered. Starting in 2013 EPA noise regulations begin for all new motorcycles and exhaust systems.

I guess I'll keep my motorcycle purchases to Model Year 2012 or earlier
