got pulled over for exhaust?
the officer said its illegal to even modify your muffler, and he gave me a god damn ticket for it. WHAT THE ****! my muffler is not loud at ALL compared to the mazdaspeed muffler, dealers have special editions of p5's with the muffler installed already before any one buys it so WTF?

) the cop had me rev up my engine, cause he wanted to hear it
i even had one have me turn my system on cause he didn't believe me how loud it was (he pulled me over for "running a stop light" which was BS, and having a loud stereo) after i turned it up, he let me go

"4) No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by
an internal combustion engine equipped with a muffler, the exhaust
outlet of which has been opened or widened.
(5) No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by
an internal combustion engine equipped with a muffler or exhaust
system to which is attached any device which increases the noise of the expulsion of the gases from the engine or allows a flame to be ignited from the exhaust system."

that's crap. if the issue is noise..........
none of these aftermarket mufflers are louder than the bloody harley's rolling around this city. none of them.
if anything should be pulled off the road and ticketed, it's bikes. there's no way your car is as annoying as a motorcycle.
he was just picking on you.

Sounds like you're screwed Sorry to hear it, he was definitely on a power trip. I've YET to hear an exhaust on a pro 5 around here that was even remotely loud.
Ok... alcoholiday, I've got to ask... what have you got against Jennifer Lopez?
lol

ok maybe you guys no nothing about the law, i too just last week got a ticket for my muffler, 68 bucks. he was within the law when he gave it to me. law stated in no way can you modify your stock muffler. its not supposed to be louder than it was when it was stock, but go ahead and fight it. because all thats gona happen is your gonna get a court order to have it removed. then your gonna have to get it inspected again. so if you wanna take it off go ahead and fight it.

Funny enough that the song I was playing one of the lines in it was "pays my ticket when I speed"
