Modified exhausts, loud stereos, and engine revving are enforced under Florida Statute 316.272 and Plant City noise rules. Motor vehicle stereos audible beyond 25 feet may be cited.
Plant City Police enforce FL 316.272, which requires motor vehicles to have functional mufflers and prohibits modifications that increase noise beyond original equipment. Stereos audible from 25 feet or more from the vehicle are a traffic infraction. Jake brakes (engine compression brakes) are discouraged on surface streets adjacent to residential areas, particularly along Alexander Street and Thonotosassa Road corridors.
Standard state traffic infraction fine around 116 dollars plus court costs. Muffler tampering can escalate to a misdemeanor.
