So tomorrow i have to get my car inspected...

I got a Notice and Order

( Richmond B.C )

I have my resonator out....

do you think i should put it back on or will it be fine

will it be too loud ?

to pass the inspection?

There's nothing under the resonator shield less a small crossover (H-pipe), it should have no bearing on emissions testing.

Yeah, what he ^ said.

Do you consider it fairly loud yourself? I haven't heard what a modified C63 sounds like. Do you think they'll just check your tires and leave the rest of your car alone?

Here's the Richmond by law for noise below. I'm sure all cities have something similar. It's just rarely enforced because complaints are probably rare for cars.

Just play it cool Don't start sweating until they reach for the spl meter...!

Hope that doesn't happen dude. Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes.

hmm its really really loud, i m guessing over 80dBA

the guy that is going to inspect my car tomorrow is going to check the dBA

if so he is throwing the resonator back on for me... for free ( friend )

and then i have to take it out again in a few weeks after

C63 Guy

The resonator doesn't do all that much except remove some secondary harmonics and clean up the sound. C63s are effing loud from the factory, well over 80db at full throttle to be sure (Ever been to a dyno run? Deafening). But I doubt the test will be at full throttle...

mrtesting

Just rev between 2500 - 3000RPM. That should be around 70db.

well, I had to put my Resonator + Cat back in ... then i finally passed the stupid VI
