[MR2] Washington State Exhaust Law

[Ken Blake]

Hell yes it's louder! Especially if you have the 3" piping. That's without going into the fact that it violates Federal DOT
standards because it eliminates the secondary catalytic converter. I'm sure it says "for off-road use only" somewhere on KO's
page.

Ken, how 'bout the TKO system with 7" mufflers?  Still louder?
