Best Answer

Yes unless you have collector's plates (example: an old muscle car) because the car won't pass an e-check or smog check. The laws have changed considerably the last couple of decades. You can get a ticket if a cop is really looking for it, and knows anything about cars. He'd probably pull you over because of how loud the car is, and if he wanted, he could give you a ticket for illegal exhaust and noise violation.

Why do some crown victorias have only one muffler?

They have a straight six cylinder engine in them. Since the cylinders are all in a straight line (i.e. "Straight Six") the exhaust can by carried via the exhaust manifold through a (basically) straight pipe to the rear of the vehicle. With a V8 or V6 engine the cylinders are arranged in either two banks of 3 or 4 cylinders, one bank on each side of the engine, hence requiring and exhaust manifold and pipe on each side of the engine to route the exhaust gas to the rear of the vehicle.
