Hello all, my name is James and i am going to be getting a Fiesta ST soon as my current DD is failing. The Fiesta is just such a fun package I could not resist. I have got a few mods planned out but want to hear everyone's opinions! I am going to be getting a Cobb RMM, a Boomba Bov adapter, and currently looking at the MRT rally sport exhaust. I live in Virginia, the land of strict car laws and speed traps! The exhaust seems quite loud, I don't know the legality of this exhaust and was just wondering if anyone has it or knows some info on it! Looking forward to being a part of the forum and community.

VA has the most draconian exhaust laws on the books:
? 46.2-1049. Exhaust system in good working order
...
such exhaust system shall be of a type installed as standard factory equipment, or comparable to that designed for use on the particular vehicle as standard factory equipment.
...
An exhaust system shall not be deemed to prevent excessive or unusual noise if it permits the escape of noise in excess of that permitted by the standard factory equipment exhaust system
...
Basically, if it ain't factory (or quieter) it ain't illegal.
That said, I usually toss my factory exhaust as one of the very first things I do when I get a car and I've never been hassled. Done it with many cars for many years.

VA, 804 ! SOUTHSIDE mutha fuckers WHAT! get some WOOOOOOOOO! sorry had to get that out. As a fellow southsider from many years ago I wouldnt get the MRT either is my advice. Pay the extra money for a Cobb or Milltec something that will only be loud at WOT.

I bought mine from Koons Ford in Sterling. I wouldn't go back to them again if I had to, do it again. Ted Britt Ford in Fairfax is much better and it's 5 mins walking from my house. NOVA is a huge melting pot and jobs are everywhere, but the traffic blows, police are always on edge and people are not so nice! I love VA beach, always try to make a trip once a year, that and VIR! We have Summit up here but it's kinda meh.
