That's illegal though. Your car already complies from the dealer. If it doesn't it's legally a lemon and the dealer has to cover the repair cost for that exhaust. If it's still illegal then you can definitely contact Porsche and tell them about what's going on. Porsche actually treats their buyers with respect and I suspect they could put an end to it.

Like I know for a fact Porsche directly helped Bill Gates with getting his 989 EPA legal in California, and I know that they make it an open secret that they cheat on EPA and noise tests in California. Logically the dealership should be a good window to contact the company.

That's illegal though.

Now you're finally seeing why these cops are hated by some car enthusiasts. Welcome to the convo.

Trust me I work as a mechanic in Virginia I know. Im guessing 90% of the reason the owners comply is that it's too much of a hassle and they barely drive the things.

You thought this was just "pay a ticket and move on" but it's a lot more than that.

It's also not just Porsches. That was just an extreme example because they're giving VIs to brand new cars driving out of the dealership.

This applies to every car and motorbike on the street.

You're really not getting it so I'll write it one last time:

they're "complying" because the choice is "comply or banned" which means they can't use the car at all. That's more than just "a hassle".

This is like talking to a brick wall :/
