Ok, here's the deal. PA is about to pass a bill that will prohibit the use of ALL aftermarket exhaust systems (what's next, prohibition?), so what i need is a source that the dumba$$es in Harrisburg would consider legitimate. I need something that'll clearly state that an aftermarket exhaust can and will increase gas milage and increase performance.

 

honestly, i lived in PA for 26 years, and i was an emissions tester, and i would be amazed if that went through...michigan tried to pass it too, and it got tossed.

 

it was tossed in 04, but really, I want they to STFU about it...

it fell through in michigan like a brick falling through the surface of a lake.

 

try conntacting AEM/Dc sports, and greddy and see if they have any testing that proves an aftermarket exhaust will increase economy. but you really shouldn't worry about that passing

 

This being PA, I do have to worry...becasue following that there will be california-style crap. Plus I like annoying people whom we put into office...

 

My question is do you really think that you could change the minds of legislators? If you want to make a difference, you have to get together with a lobby/lobbyist. I don't think that one person can do it alone. You could sure start a campaign against it, but you will need support from others. Money and Votes talk in government. I know there is another thread with the SEMA Action Network, so consider giving them a call.

 

well if you remember when the same bill came up in michigan, car forums all over teh web were all sending letters in to senators and reps about it. if i remember right...it passed in the senate but was slaughtered in the house.

 

A good letter with supporting evidence will get better results than a bunch of car enthusiasts showing up in harrisburg...that might actually get a negative effect...
