It appears that the EPA have no power to take you down to 90dBA. That is assuming your vehicle was registered and engineered at 95dBA.

You get it checked. The tester tells you that you are 95dBA and that you fail.

You send the check report to the EPA and tell them you failed current legislation but meet your registration level of 95dBA.

That I am told by a legal eagle is the end of it.

The 90dBA is not back dated to 1983. As much as they would like it to be.

The 90dBA is back dated to 1983 for any vehicle that is presented for testing for registration today. You take in your 1984 car for registration today and it must meet 90dBA. Per Schedule 1 - 2003.

If its currently on the road engineered and registered at 95dBA then its 95dBA.

Let me say 95dBA is very quite. XW/XY GT's stock exhaust levels.
