Ironic that my GTP's current exhaust system is called " Loudmouth"
So far haven't got pulled over yet for noise violations and I drive by a police station to get to college every day...I'm either lucky or they(police) just don't care about the little fish.
Also unrelated, just a tid bit for DWI. Even though the vehicle is not moving, but if you are in the vehicle driver's seat and key in ignition but not on you can be charged with DWI. So if you are ver drunk and want to sleep in your car do it in the passenger seat, or back seat.
Or according to what you said it should be safe to sit in the driver's seat while the keys are in your pocket but probably a safer bet to sleep in one of the other seats.

I'm sorry, I know the law is blind, is it illogical as well??? DRIVING while under influence summons while the car is parked??? I could see intent to DWI, but there is no summons for that. right?

I do not understand what you're saying. Are you trying to say you can not get arrested for being in the driver's seat of a vehicle while being DWI? If that is your question the answer is yes you can get arrested for it.
you don't think it kind of illogical to be guilty of DWI if one is NOT driving?? lets say for argument sake, I had a couple but want to listen to the radio(ignition off) while I wait for the alloted time it takes alcohol to go through my system. just so I won't be stupid and drive when I know I am drunk. I am still guilty of DWI even though I am making an attemp to do the right thing?!!

It does not matter what exhaust system comes with the vehicle "stock". It's when you modify it when there's a problem. After you modify it and it's louder than stock that's when you have a problem.
Does anyone read the law I posted. It has nothing to do with sound.

Yes you can get arrested. The reason for this is, they do not want to wait for you to start the car and drive off. Then the officer would have to chase you down and you might get into an accident or worst kill someone. So the law made it so you can get arrested while being in the car. The law percieves there is an intent of driving off. It has to do with safety.
So the safest place to do it is in another part of the car instead of the driver's seat.
O.K. it silly, but I understand people do stupid things like DWI(NO F***ING EXCUSE FOR THIS WHATSOEVER!!!) so the law takes it to the extreeme. won't ever be me because I don't drink alcohol
