Modified exhaust, loud stereos, and engine revving are prohibited under Ocoee Code and FL §316.272 which limits vehicle sound to levels under manufacturer specifications. Enforcement concentrated along SR-50 (West Colonial Drive) and Clarke Road corridors.
FL §316.272 requires every motor vehicle to be equipped with a muffler in good working order and prohibits muffler cutouts, bypasses, or similar devices. FL §316.3045 formerly prohibited sound reproduction systems audible from 25 feet or more, though the statute was struck down by the FL Supreme Court in 2012 (State v. Catalano); enforcement now relies on general noise and breach-of-peace statutes (FL §877.03) plus local Ocoee Code Chapter 110 noise provisions. Ocoee Police traffic units enforce modified-exhaust stops along SR-50 (West Colonial Drive), Clarke Road, Silver Star Road, and Maguire Road. Straight-pipe exhaust, cutouts, and aftermarket systems louder than OEM equipment are the most common citations. Complaints route through (407) 905-3160 (police non-emergency) during enforcement hours.
FL §316.272 non-criminal traffic infraction approximately $116 with court costs. Repeat or egregious cases can escalate to FL §877.03 breach-of-peace misdemeanor charges.
