Mr Campion said infringement notices and fines ranging from $50 to$600 would be issued if vehicles were found to exceed the allowed noise limit.
Any vehicles suspected to be breaching the allowed noise level would be required to undergo an objective noise test conducted by an NZTA certified tester.
Cars which pass the test will be issued with a tag and a certificate of compliance that remains valid until more modifications are undertaken.
"My message is if you've modified your exhaust, get it checked," he said.
Mr Campion said police would also be taking issuing tickets to those seen riding in the back of utes or vans with no seats.
