Lunchbox Removal Q's
ok so here's the deal:
I searched the forum and liked the way people reacted to the lunchbox delete. I am thinking about having it removed and a tip put on it. The only thing I am worrysome about is the California laws and the smog test. I checked the DMV online, ( http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc27150.htm ) and it basically says a vehicle must have a muffler preset. Will the first muffler be adequite to pass this test if the lunchbox is gone? Also, it says somewhere else that a car under 6000 lbs shouldn't exhibit sound above 95 dB. Will removing the lunchbox make that much noise? lastly, I was wondering if it will pass the smog test next time. My dad is a real ogre about modifying anything from stock (esp. if it makes it worse). FYI: Stock 05 zx3 (want a nice sound, but have no $$$)  thank you for your input

hahah... he has an ST... ST foci dont have a "lunchbox"... anyways, it WILL pass emissions and it WILL NOT be louder than 95dB... it does sound fairly nice too... let me look I have a short video of my car when I had just the muffler cut off... btw, you dont HAVE to put a tip on (thats how i did mine) I'll be back with a clip...
