I too have been complimented by cops on my exhaust. One local and a highway patrol. But my car is pretty quiet, loud exhaust doesnt mean its good exhaust by any means, i bet mine flows better than 90% on this board and is alot quiter than most as well. hell i drove around with an open downpipe for a month and a half and didnt get harassed. Examples are glasspacks for one, those are about the most restrictive muffler you can put on a car, and have been proven to cut power in almost every situation. Also they dont make them any quieter so whats the point.
Point is, get a good, somewhat quiet, quality exhaust system and quit bitching about it. Think i have about $290 in my entire system, and thats 4", so you guys can afford it im sure.
GaryYou also have a giant turbo that helps a good amount.

wannabe, i dont have time for your stupid shit! i was rollin around in customs while your mom still had you on her tit. shut up! and to go back to the original statment, i wasnt complaining, just making a statement and an observation. how do you pick something out on the highway at 75mph, going in the opposite direction, with the wind blowing 20-30 mph?

Huh? How am I whining, I'm calling the whiners out... I don't see your point, everyone else seems to jump on the hate-joel bandwagon tho!

Roadracer:
I got pulled over in my mazda for a burnt-out taillight in west fargo (should know better than to drive in west fargo in a lowered truck)
....by a cop going the other direction, who pulled off to the side to U-turn to follow me when I was about half a block in front of him. He let me off with a warning, after I told him I didn't know it was out, I'm trying to get it running right and was actually out driving trying to get the battery charged back up - and he suggested that maybe I'd get harassed less after getting it back up to stock height, too.My exhaust was rusted out right behind the cat, I'd just pulled the old muffler off bare-handed a couple days earlier, because it wasn't doing anything anyway. The cop didn't mention the exhaust, but I've patched it up somewhat since, just for my own sake. It was loud as shit, and I had to leave the truck running during the stop.
I call it profiling, both cases - the initial stop - but still, my case, something was actually wrong, and I fixed it (thanks for the warning, because I didn't know) - but exhaust laws in town here are rather vague, and they do go by officer discretion. I don't know your whole exhaust setup, though -- good chance there's nothing actually wrong with it, legally.
Lots of cops/patrol officers see a custom car, custom paintjob, custom decals, custom anything on the road, and see it as a quick ticket buffet - all-you-can-cite sort of thing.
cops hate ricers because everybody hates ricers. it's math.
the problem begins when "rice" gets generalized to anything modified. my two cents. -
I drove by a FPD in my hatch with open header revving at about 4-5k. Didn't do anything. When I had the Cressida I had 2.5 basically straight back and drifted around a corner during the middle of winter and all I got a ticket for was a taillight out. Explaining to a female cop that 185 tires don't work well in the winter FTW! Some people just have shitty luck.

I've been told that if you have a worn out exhaust that you won't get a ticket for it, but if you have an exhaust that is at all non-stock (mainly looks...noise isn't a factor...i've had the "i can tell your exhaust is illegal by the way it looks" pulled on me before) and you did it on purpose...you will get ticketed...aka, if you have a fully functioning exhaust that is quieter than a worn out exhaust, you will get a ticket because you made your car that way...Straight from the mouth of the HP.
And Joel...I don't mind you man, but c'mon...you are trying to act all grown up and all you are doing is making yourself look like an asshat. If everybody just gave up and learned to cope with shit, politics wouldn't exist and we'd all be machines with no purpose...you can sure cope on your own when it comes to being profiled...i refuse to except it as a part of life and will continue to fight it whenever it comes my way.

harm, ive never been hassled with my truck. i got pulled over for running a stop sign by my work ( 7th st is basically a private street right now, so i never stopped at that sign), and for a few days after there was a squad hovering around, and even followed me from 7th ave to the shop, but i didnt do anything wrong anyways, but anyhow, as far as my truck goes, never been hassled. on a side note, have you checked out www.dropculture.com yet?

So just because you have never been hassled for something means that they can never stop you for it? I have never been hassled about the tint on my car so they should never be able to give me hell about it even though it breaks the law?
Impeccable logic.
-
you don't get hassled because you're not 18-27. haha. kidding, but it seems true sometimes.
no offense meant on the previous post, i dig your truck. had to put mine away for the winter, though, it was getting less and less drivable and more "in the way on the road."
just saying cops notice most of us on here more often than others because a lot of our vehicles are noticeably different from all those stockers out there. That, and we've got a lot of showoffs and ricers. LMAO.
that ought to get some responses. I'm so banned. =D
