I was just sited last night for my exhaust and that was by the cop looking at it while going through a DUI check point. All he said was its an aftermarket exhaust and its illegal which is not true. CT measures the decibles on a meter to determine if its to loud. I have had friends get inspection tickets while hanging out with their cars turned off which cannot be legal at all. They simply sited everyone with chrome exhausts on the assumption that they are loud or too loud to be legal. I can say yeah most exhausts are probably illegal in CT at least but they cant go on the basis of it being chrome like they have done in past instances.....Its out of hand

I've been pulled over 5 times here in Florida for that ----, and gotten 3 tickets $45 each. The cops say if it's not factory it's ilegal, not only for sounf but also pollution. The last time it happened was like a 8 months ago, and I haven't changed anything and have not been stopped since, si I don't know if they actually changed the law or someone did something to prevent cops from pulling us over.

Cops can do anything they want. Sometimes you can get out of things and sometimes your fucked.

I love the thing about it not being legal if its not factory. Well, then I guess they should just shut down all Mineke's and other such muffler shops, they aren't factory. Yeah, I totally agree about the Crustang and Harley crap. Anything domestic never gets a noise ticket for its exhaust, American muscle is supposed to be loud. ----, I hate cops.
