Kind of a retarded question but I was wondering if its ever happened to someone where they got ticketed for excessive noise of a BOV.

A friend of mine got a ticket for his. I dont remember what the exact ticket was stated as being or the offense, but he definitely received it because he went by a cop right when he shifted. He has an HKS and its loud as hell (its venting to the atmosphere), so its not surprising he got pulled over. lol

It all depends on your states and cities ordinances. Just go to the local Police Department and ask. That is how I get a lot of information.

chances are if your building that much pressure to vent that much air and make a LOUD blow off then your probably going too fast past a cop...LOL
