I've got a bossal brospeed on my 97 RS, came with the car when I bought it from a friend. In a year and a half I've gotten 2 tickets for excessive exhaust noise, and I've got inspection coming up in april and I don't feel like paying off somebody an extra $30ish for the sticker, and the ticket will go away if I appeal it and show I have a legal exhaust, that's another $50.

So realistically I have $80ish to start to spend on an exhaust, and can go up a fair amount from there. Keep in mine this is a street-driven eclipse, and I doubt full exhaust or anything is going to be worth it to me, yet I'd feel bad spending $$ to go back to bare stock and lose power.

So what should I do? Will going back to stock from an aftermarket muffler really change anything (I bought the car with the muffler already, so I never felt the diff between the 2). If so, what type of legal solutions do I have, solutions that won't anger cops/inspection people.
