First time getting pulled over for exhaust

So i got pulled over today for the first time for my exhaust. I have a Turbosx turbo back with test pipe. I've had it for about 19 months now without any problems. To make a long story short he let me go. No ticket or written warning. I was surprized. I have a theory though. I was driving on a road where a highschool is located so i'm guessing that he thought i was some highschool kid. He was a bit unfriendly at first when he aproached me but later was really cool so that kinda reinforces my theory. Moral of the story..... Be nice a polite sometimes it pays off.

yeah i'm running a test pipe but imo it's pretty quiet or maybe im just use to it by now. i live in a really small town less than a square mile and i haven't had any problems there... maye because they kinda know me that i live in town???

they were profiling, and profiling is wrong! but the ironic thing is out of the 3 times i got pulled over in the evo, it was rite after i wood take my wing off. never got bothered when i had my wing on.

Yeah, profiling is not PC. But laws doesn't eliminate prejudice.
