Yeah stupid me I think this thread caused me to get tested this weekend down in Florence. Was sitting on the flats on the south end and my friend on a couple of raptors where racing back and forth on my quad. I was sitting on my friend’s stock warrior, waved at the ranger as he drove by and just asked how it was going. I always try to kiss there **** when I see them and I think it saved me this time. He drove off to check on a campsite about 100 yards away and in the meantime my friends got back, we sat there and talked about the drag results and the ranger came back. He got out of his vehicle and goes I need to tell you guys something about your pipes. Thinking to myself..."Sh*t here goes the 74.00 dollar ticket" Well he explains to us the 93DB limit and how our pipes most likely don't meet the requirements and he said he was going to test us and show us. Well he tested us. My Raptor Big Gun test at 100DB(less then I thought) and my friend’s trinity tested at 102DB on his Raptor. He explained to us he wrote 100+ tickets on the holiday weekend and was not going to write us one because we had respect for him(most likely me waving at him and asking how things where going saved my ****). So he just said to get it fixed and see what we can do. Then we just kept talking to him about all the things that are going on down here like the alcohol beverage ban and the accidents numbers this year. He said they are down this year. He said they have only had 5 deaths this year. 3 at spinreel/horsefall, 1 at Sand Lake and 1 in Florence. He said the alcohol ban has helped a lot and will most likely never be removed.

But I think the bottom line this weekend I got lucky and I still don't think I am going to change my exhaust. :-)
