I did get pulled over at DKN 2 years ago for a look over, but I am a perfectionist, so you'll never find anything unsafe on my car. Actually mechanics make fun of me because I detect problems before they would consider it a problem.

it has nothing 2 do with desabels or anything ANY and i mean ANY mufler other than what honda made 4 that car is ilegal if the cop wants 2 give u a ticket because u got a generik brand mufler from crappy tire thats quieter then the stock one he can do that its bs i know i am in court 4 this same thing june 13th
its a loophole in the law and its bul**** if u get a stock mufler bent the end over so it points downhill if the cop is an ainal mother ****er he can give u a ticket 4 that 2 but i dont think he would win in court
the HTA states that any modification that aulters the sound or shape or anything from the factory installed mufler is ilegal
and if they put inpropper mufler its easier 2 fight but if they **** u with a hollywood mufler then u are kinda ****ed then
thats a streight pipe from the axel back with is about 90$ of the aftermarket axel backs it has 2 have baffles that u cant stick a stick in there and it go in
its all bul**** i never saw a cop pull over a ****ing mustang or a pickup truck
the guy across the streat has riced out a dodge truck and he has them 10ft 9'' stacks comeing up the inside of the bead and he never gets ****ed it sould like a big rig pulling in the driveway its soo loud

I would ask you to point out the section of the HTA that states this, but I won't. You see, the HTA says nothng of the sort.
The only requirement is that a muffler provide adequate exhaust noise control, nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't matter what shape the muffler is as long as it is acceptably quiet when in operation (cop's judgement is enough), and as long as it is securely mounted.
A muffler that is a little louder than stock won't cause you any issues with the cops, but a muffler that can be heard a block away even when under only light acceleration is unacceptable and would be consider an improper muffler.
