stock exhaust too loud

got pulled over last night for aftermarket exhaust being too loud, as I smiled at him and explained "my car is stock" as it is. Lucky for be I was let off with a warning?? ha.
Funny cuz my Mustang was loud and in 7yrs never got pulled over for that.
oh well just though id share, thought it was kinda funny.

cruised by him at 45mph 5th gear (on erlich rd) after about 30sec later he got behind me. little bit down the road traffic lights went red and we all slowed down, as we did this he got back into the lane next to me but stopped just before my rear bumper, now there were no other cars infront of him so he was 3 car lengths back from the red light as I was two and a mini van was infront of me. as the light went green slowly took off, he got behind me again and put his lights on. he said it was too lous as I was driving from a stop.
