You're all missing the easiest solution, which is to simply remove the offending exhaust system and inform them of this fact. Wear earplugs while you drive.

This reminds me of the time my family and I were driving north in Big Sur, and we stopped to visit a beach/its restroom. There was a HMMWV parked, full of helmets and vests, with the window open (the folks it belonged to were on the beach, doing some sort of training thing, I think). I don't remember seeing anything securing the wheel; I've always wondered what the eventual consequence would've been if I'd taken it for a joyride.

Raluek posted:California doesn't have safety inspections. They just check that the original smog equipment is still present when they do their sniffer test. Keeps you from doing some more interesting motor swaps, but why would you want to own something newer than 1975 anyway? Pretty much any engine modification (unless the part is specifically approved by the California Air Review Board, for a specific model of car) is illegal. Motor swaps are fine.

TrueChaos posted:Try working at a company that manufactures custom equipment. When I started safety was iffy, QC was non existant, typically all the equipment we build runs some form of 3P power (208-240/460/480/575/600), transformers just sitting around everywhere, etc. They've gotten a lot better now, but sometimes I'm out on the floor and it's just oh hey look you're setting up 6" pipe which we don't thread oh your welding it oh why don't you have any safety stuff set up WAIT YOU'RE NOT EVEN WEARING A HOOD AND WELDING INSIDE THE SYSTEM MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP THAT RIGHT NOW What's so bad about three-phase power sitting around?

I refuse to pay $gently caress for Volvo's molded heater hoses, so my current heater valve setup involves one of the hoses around the intake pipe from the underside and connecting to the valve. The valve's held away from the cruise control servo's rubber boot by a pair of zip ties. It works!

I feel like there should be a cow mounted to this thing.
