California SB 112 removes cars from the full impact of AB 1824 Exhaust Noise Law - UPDATE!

California Bill To Amend 2018 Exhaust Noise Law Passes Legislature
SEMA Praises Lawmakers for Championing Critical Legislation

Thanks to the efforts of Assembly Members Tim Grayson, Tasha Boerner-Horvath, Phil Ting, Phil Chen, Senator Holly Mitchell, and enthusiasts throughout California, state lawmakers have approved SEMA-supported legislation (SB 112) that restores “fix-it” tickets for cars suspected of violating the state’s exhaust noise limit. Once signed into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom, SB 112 will take effect immediately.

SB 112, a budget implementation (trailer) bill, includes text drawn from SEMA-sponsored AB 390, which was authored by Assembly Members Grayson and Jim Frazier in early 2019. Under normal legislative procedure, AB 390 would not have been implemented until January 2020.

“SEMA thanks Assembly Members Grayson, Boerner-Horvath, Ting, and Chen, and Senator Mitchell for their tireless work on behalf of the over 1,700 member companies based in the Golden State,” said Daniel Ingber, SEMA’s Vice President for Legal and Government Affairs. “Thanks to their efforts, enthusiasts in California will continue to be afforded due process under the law.”

SB 112 removes cars from the impact of AB 1824, which was signed into law by then-Governor Jerry Brown in June of 2018. AB 1824 amended how California law enforcement officials issued citations for suspected exhaust noise violations by removing the ability to issue fix-it tickets, which allowed for 30-days to correct a violation. Instead, motorists received an immediate fine. The bill generated significant concern within the specialty automotive aftermarket industry and enthusiast community. Once signed into law by Gov. Newsom, SB 112 will again allow law enforcement to issue fix-it tickets.

Since 2003, exhaust systems installed on motor vehicles in California with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating of less than 6,000 pounds, other than motorcycles, may not exceed a sound level of 95-decibels when tested under a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). SB 112 does not change this.

California Exhaust Noise Bill Goes into Effect

GReddy Performance Products, Inc.

Currently, we are working with organizations such as the SEMA Action Network, to clarify how the local California law is interpreted and implemented.  Please check back with us soon, as we gather more information regarding the required sound test procedures that are specifically called out for.

"California Exhaust Noise Bill Goes into Effect
California Assembly Bill (A.B.) 1824, which was signed into law by then-Governor Jerry Brown in June of 2018 went into effect on January 1, 2019. The bill has generated significant concern amongst the online enthusiast community. Despite what is being circulated, enactment of A.B. 1824 does not change existing laws pertaining to exhaust noise or sale and installation of aftermarket exhaust systems.

Under existing law, exhaust systems installed on motor vehicles with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating of less than 6,000 pounds, other than motorcycles, may not exceed a sound level of 95-decibels when tested under Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) test procedure J1169 (May 1998). This was not changed by A.B. 1824.

A.B. 1824 amended how excess exhaust noise violations are handled by law enforcement. Beginning this year, a vehicle cited for violating the current exhaust noise law will no longer receive what is known as a “fix-it” ticket. Instead, violations will result in an immediate fine.

Consumers in receipt of a violation still have the option of seeking a certificate of compliance from the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) demonstrating that their exhaust emits no more than 95-decibels. This SEMA-sponsored program allows courts to dismiss citations for exhaust systems that have been tested and for which a certificate of compliance has been issued."

New GReddy products introduced at the SEMA Show

In our previous post, we showed some of the project cars we worked on for the SEMA Show. (Lexus Tuned X GReddy RC and GReddy X Garrett GT-R)

Now let's show you what was in our booth. For the 2014 SEMA Show, GReddy Performance Products introduced:

  • Lifetime Warranty for Exhaust
  • GReddy GTX-R Turbo Kits
  • GReddy DIY Fabrications Components
  • New Rocket Bunny Kits

Staff: Takeshi, Andrew, Aaron, Kenji, Quincy




The biggest News is our GReddy Limited Lifetime Warranty that is now included with all application specific Supreme SP, Revolution RS and new Evolution models. 
(Sneak Peek at the new 76mm Evolution Ver2 Exhaust for the FR-S / BRZ)


Other big news that we mentioned earlier in the year was GReddy's new partnership with Turbo By Garrett.  By adding Garrett GTX-R turbos to our Turbo Kit line-ups, we are able to maintain top quality performance, with more power range options.  Our first two GReddy GTX-R Turbo kits will be updates to our R35 GT-R Twin Turbo Upgrade and our FR-S/BRZ Turner Turbo Kits...


Other big news is our new lines of GReddy DYI Fabrications Materials.  These are the same high quality raw materials we use in constructing our application specific kits.  
Soon we will offer a complete line of Stainless-Steel materials for fabricating custom exhausts.  Including similar high Quality Supreme SP and Revolution RS universal mufflers/tip combos, U and J bends, flanges, hangers and gaskets. 
And in the cooling department, we will have large high-quality tube and fin Intercoolers and Oil Coolers, along with supporting items like Aluminum bends, piping and elbows, couplings, fittings and thermo-block adapters.


And #GarageFRS explored our new products for the FR-S/BRZ.  Air Intake Snorkel, 2.1L Stroker FA20 engine parts, new 76mm Evolution exhausts and GTX-R Tuner Turbo Kit...

And of course since GReddy Performance Products is the Authorized Distributor of Rocket Bunny, we got to debut some new Aero Kits (NSX, RC F, RC Fsport, S15) as well as the limited edition Takata X Rocket Bunny seats...
