i got pulled night before and the cop was nice enough to let me off with a warning cause he got another call and left in a hurry. I didn't want to chance it again, so when i go out during nights, I use my silencer. Does anyone else use their silencer often?? and if u guys do, how do u take it out? i always have a hard time taking the silencer out.

I used to use one but the 20-30 hp loss isn't worth it so I just got a quiet exhaust. With a silencer you essentially turning your 3inch exhaust to 1.75 inch exhaust which is worse than stock.

I just posted a thread about this last week. Most guys don't give a **** and just leave it out all the time. I more than likely will as well. do you have a HFC?
i don't have HFC i got my stock cat on it cause my o2 won't come off on the stock cat for me to replace it with testpipe, but it's the first time i been pulled over for it ever since i got the exhaust. and i always drive by cops too, guess they didn't have anything to do so pulled me over. lol

A Cat-Back should be legal, as long as it meets a certain dp level. Even if you would have actually received the ticket, you could have had it dropped. It just would have cost you your time to deal with it.
i do have a downpipe too lol, but yeah i just don't want to hassle with the cop again.
joey0480 i searched for silencer and ur thread didn't came up, but i saw it now. i been lucky for the past 2 years, never a ticket all warning (like 8 of them now)

yeah, cops got nothing to do nowadays, i would rather put the silencer on during nights when i need to go somewhere, come back normally within a hour, it's just a pain to take it out. Originally Posted by joey0480

I use the silencer on long road trips since it's easier on the ears. Otherwise, I let her breathe.

If I drive the car as my DD my wife will **** and moan until I put the silencer in. So I compromised and bought her a new car and took her old one as my new DD.
