Got pulled over tonight for modified exhaust. $100 ticket
I pull away and drive about a mile and see another cop pull out behind me. lol I pull over and when he asks for my lic and reg, I hand him the ticket and ask if he's going to give me another. He says, "do you want another?" Looks at the ticket and tells me to leave.
Looks like the stock exhaust goes back on tomorrow and start saving for a QTP dp w/cut out...

Sorry to hear about the troubles man. VA Beach area has similar problems with the police there. Anyone in that area knows if they need to go around Atlantic Ave. for any reason, they borrow someone else's car.

Twice in five minutes. Sheesh.

Damn Tony, sucks big time. I didn't think it was that loud when you were at the shootout. I hear louder cars than that on a daily basis around here and no one ever gets a ticket. Hell, cars don't even have exhuasts past the cat and they still don't get a ticket around here.

What is your exhaust setup? My cousin put a full 3" turbo-back exhaust on his EVO and it's pretty loud at WOT, but cruising it isn't too bad at all. He has gotten pulled over for it before, but that is because he floors it constantly around town.

How much would a good race style catalytic converter quiet it down? I've never seen the underside of an EVO but if it's an easy swap for the test pipe then it sounds a lot cheaper and easier to do.

Grow old! They won't bug you then.


Is this in Mass or CT? Funny thing I cruised around here loud as hell, white hood with louvers (on a red car), with a white lexan hatch without ever getting pulled over. The wife and I took a cruise up to VT (her in the GST and me in the RS) via Mass. We were tavelling dually (her, a car length behind me) and SHE got pulled over! The cop then talked to me about crap, she got her pink slip (written warning) and off we went. I'm thinking that Mass has more of a hard-on for the muff's than CT.

It was mASS. I got pulled over in CT a few weeks back and got a $244 ticket for doing 15 mph over and he "mentioned" my car being loud but didn't write me up or warning.
How the hell does CT scale their tickets? 15mph over in mASS is a nice even $100. $50 for first 10mph over and $10 per mph over after that...
And yeah Mark, even though I'm 33 yrs old now and don't get pulled over very often because I don't drive like an idiot, I think the wing is an attention magnet for cops and ricers.

Down hur in Texas, we dun dump our eeexhausts.

That sucks dude. I'm sure when he was writing a ticket for your "modified exhaust", some bank robbery was taking place.

Its nice here, no emissions. My stealth had a complete 3" straight pipe from headers back, with the loudest blow off valve i've ever heard. Cops never even gave me a second look.

Don't sell your car to 16 year olds...

Ya no emission laws here either. I see full race cars running around on the street on a regular basis over the summer. The wheelie bars and all. A few guys I know run full flowmaster 40 series on their TA's and they are loud as fucking hell, with no cop problem. A buddy just south of me ran with a O2 dump for years and never once had a problem with cops, even when he got on it. In all the years I've been driving I've only got pulled over one time for loud exhaust and that was in western indiana where they have emission laws and at the time my Jetta had lost the fitting around the DP and was running basically just open downpipe. Sucks because I had to wait a week for the part to be shipped from germany (older VW). It's amazing how strict some places are on modified exhuast and how they usually relate that to sound levels created from the exhaust. Sad thing is, like Turby said a few years ago, most cops are not familiar with how the decible system actually works. They estimate and are usually way off.

That's how it is in detroit. They will give out tint tickets, but rarely exhaust or anything else.

Doh.... that is just rotten luck. I would replace your current set up with a RRE stealth unit, or invest in a few cans of BBQ paint...

-K-

gotta yank the spawla... imo... or get a long ass resonator welded up to your ex. system....

i've been pulled over and ticketed once for "modified exhuast" the cop was 500 feet behind me, turning onto the street i was on (at night) and i didnt know it, i WOT shifted and threw a huge fireball out the back end of the car...

cop mentioend the fireball, i mentioned that w/a turbo car there is no need for a muffler, we argued, he wrote the ticket, i got off of it.. (per the N.R.S nevada revised statute)...

cheers...

p.s. yank the spawla...

Chill, Tony. Back in late 95, I was pulled over twice inside of 30 minutes. I got a ticket for 97 in a 55 and then one for 80 in a 55 (which was bullshit, since I was stuck behind blue hair granny in a K-car doing 56 with a cruiser right on my six the whole time). Granted, it was only $255 for both of those tickets at the time, but they were my third and fourth tickets that year. I almost lost my license that year.

Ah... Here's to being young and stupid!

yeah, ive heard the turbo/muffler thing. supposedly in texas a turbo counts as a muffling device on a diesel. heard of a few people using that on their tix and the charges were thrown out

Its no fun driving a dsm and being paranoid. I barely drive my car at all. So to fix that, this weekend i am welding in my qtp and throwing the stock exhaust back on the car. Should be fun.
