No tickets here yet.. hopefully never! I run a cat so I should be alright.

 

dont get an exhaust ticket more than 3 times... i would just give up after the second ticket because they charge a few hundred more than the second ticket for the third offense!!

 

I was with a few of my friends we got pulled over and inspected. The cop said your car sounds like a diesel truck flying past me... My friend recieved a fix-it ticket for his intake!

 

I remember they were trying to get that bill passed in Illinois last year, but it was shot down.

--> Aftermarket Exhaust Ban Halted in Illinois and Illinois Abandon Unfair Exhaust Noise Restrictions

I'm pretty sure that is the way things stand now; unless they passed a new bill I haven't heard about. If that's the case somebody post a link... I gotta see it to believe it.

 

Depends on the cop entirely here...In my old car (mazdaspeed protege) I had a full 3 inch exhaust. Nassua cops didnt seem to bother me. State troopers have pulled me over for no reason other then my exhaust. No tickets just to bust my *****. Suffolk cops which seem to suck the most have pulled me over various times just for my exhuast. I got a ticket for it but you just go to court with a repair bill and its over with. Still a pain in the *** though. I was next to my friend with a really loud trans am and he revved at a cop under a bridge and the cop smiled at him mean while i get pulled over in my import while going the speed limit!

 

No problems here in Nevada with aftermarket exhaust. Drove my '05 STi for 2 years with invidia tbe but never got any fixing ticket. Cops seems they don't mind it whenever I see one on my side, back and in front of me. Maybe, it's because we are required to have smog check each year if the car is 1 year and older.

 

nope. you cannot have a modified exhaust at all.

 

I thought that as long as you have the CARB (California Air Resources Board) stamps or stickers on the aftermarket parts like exhaust you are ok to go? I lived in San Diego and I used to drive an early 90's integra with DC's and AEM's mods on it. Whenever a cop stop me I just show them the CARB paperworks and the stamps on the parts then they let me go. Maybe the law changed in Cali after I moved here in Vegas, or correct me if I am wrong please.

 

doesnt mean cops wont mess with u in california. they'll give u a ticket just cuz 4g's look modified. lmfao! "hey there that valve cover is red","that must mean this is a race engine","o yeah whats this bar going accross ur engine? is that a.. race bar? sir","no its stock.... ","heres a ref ticket, im doing u a favor cuz im not towing ur car tonite"... this happend to me about 5 times already.

 

they dont care if its stock or got carb numbers its really up to them whether or not ur gonna get a ticket... i mean ****, i got popped in my 240sx and i have a RB20 in it, i told them it was stock, and he thought nothing of it, u just gotta get the good cops on there good days after they ate there donut or two..
