Wondering for those who have JDM IX bumpers on their cars... do you think it's a bigger "attraction" for five-o as it exposes the exhaust more to the eye? Compared to the regular Evo bumper, you can see much more of the exhaust when looking at it from the rear and from the driver's side vantagepoint and I'm wondering if this is going to be a "look at me" kind of modification for law enforcement. Especially more so here in California. Please chime in. Thanks.

 

good question... answers?

 

really i think it would be in your cause in cali, but here in florida broward and miami the cops could really careless. anyway to find out would be to get one and put it on and drive with it. i'll let you know when mine comes in january.

 

yep i think that it would attract attention, especially if you have a nice burnt titanium tip or a CF-wrapped muffler. but i think the first thing that will draw attention to the bumper is the black diffuser part in the middle.

 

i think y'all are paranoid and have too much time to sit and think up stuff like this

 

the cops dont have a clue thats its not a usdm stock piece.
i have had no problems with them whatsoever concering the jdm9 rear bumper

 

Wasn't referring to how the bumper would attract attention... rather, how the exhaust is so much more visible with the JDM IX bumper vs. the US VIII / IX bumper.

 

The Exhaust sticks out at the Bottom only becuz it slants in. If a Cop pulls you over tell him that the design of the OEM Bumper slants at the bottom allowing the exhaust to show. Then get a ruler or a straight stick and show him its flush with the upper portion of the bumper. Then if he says its not OEM, tell him he can hit it with his baton or tap the bumper and listen to the sound of plastic and if it was Fiberglass (all honda/acura bodykits are fiberglass) it would break and fray. Tell him to flex the bottom. Then tell him to STFU becuz he just looks stupid now.


I live in Sac, CA where the Local cops now have the right to pull you over and pop ur hood becuz u have a modified exhaust...havent had a problem yet *knock on wood* But forgot to mention just recently I had my exhaust cut shorter becuz my Megan catback was pushing on the Diffuser part of my bumper...So now it sticks a little out from the Bottom.

 

My suggestion: Powdercoat your muff black then cross your fingers or just get a crotch rocket to be immune from the judgemental/bored small city/town popos

 

it sticks out more, but the cops havent said anything about it






anything longer looks ridiculous, and maybe cause a problem with the police

 

Hey, jackass... if you have nothing substantive to add, don't post. Simple.

 

Hmm... which exhaust you running on your ride? I'm not too concerned about the tip but rather the visibility of the canister itself...

 

Are you serious? Is it a local ordinance of some sort? That's bull****. I highly suggest you check out the SEMA Action Network website... there's a grip of info on stuff like this and how you can fight it (and info on how they can help you do so)...

Does anyone know if the jdm muffler stick out that much?

 

Yea I think it is an Ordinance or something like that. Damn tried looking for the site where it stated this. I should really start saving these sites.



Check below for JDM IX Evos. The exhaust sticks out abot the same.
