That is the first inquiry I did as Taxachussetts requires yearly vehicles inspections. The law reads: No person shall operate a motor vehicle on any way which motor vehicle is equipped (1) with a muffler from which the baffle plates, screens or other original internal parts have been removed and not replaced; or (2) with an exhaust system which has been modified in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise ...
Unfortunately for MA the inspection stations are run by kids who either overlook these muffler deletes or think that the sound of the car is what the car should sound like as I did the inspection right after I left the muffler shop and all I got was compliments from all the "techs" in the shop. BTW I had plan "B" as I asked the muffler shop owner if he knew or had a shop that would pass my car in case it was too loud...hahaha
