I don't know why it would be.
Unless you live in a Communist state like California...

In some states, it could be a problem if it's too loud.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

The one thing you will notice as time rolls on is the exhaust will get louder as the fiber glass burns out. this can cause a lot of cab rumble. Myself, I prefer a fiber glass muffler mostly after they been on about 20,000 or so. That's when they sound the best. I replace mine when it burns out inside. Usually pushing 3 years.

If you want glasspacks cheap, go to Surplus City (or any all-u-can-get hardware store); they are around $15 dollars for 2.5" inlet glasspacks. Pretty loud though, but that's how I like it.

Having a muffler dosen't have anything to do with emissions.But it is part of the vehicle inspection.As long as you have some type of muffler you shouldn't have a problem.This is NC law.I use to do NC state vehicle inspections.

So Texas goes by North Carolina law ? I would have thought Texas would have their own laws.

Maybe I jumped to a conclusion there - I guess NC could also stand for "no clue" !

Hey hey hey now wait a minute. I like living in California thank you!
lol. Honestly, the sound of my 213,000 mile 5.2 stock mufler
sounds pretty cool already. It's gotten deeper with that older V8
sound that I like. Probably not a too healthy sound, but it hasn't
given me any trouble thus far. I would like to get a nice muffler
though. Not too loud, not too muffled... I want the stock sound it
has now... just... more of it. lol. I can't explain it. Like deep rumble
with a medium intensity of sound.
