Default Damn popo ruin everything

Well it finally happened. On my way into work today I got pulled over no more than a mile from my house. I really suspect it was the neighbor down the streeet as he drives an underdover cop car(at least it looks exactly like this one). Once I saw him get behind me at the light I knew it wasn't going to turn out well. I tried to half throttle it on down the road but there was just no escaping how damn loud the car is, especially right behind it lol. The cop was nice about it though, but kept asking me "Doesn't anyone complain about it?" I was like no officer I never recieved any complaints. He told me I probably woke up all of 24 mile road and that there are peoples kids still sleeping (not if they go to school). So he left me with a fix it ticket and I didn't have up to date proof of insurance so its not too bad I just gotta find a quieter catback to put on in 8 days I will miss the LM.

Did you happen to ask him about the bikes that are about 5 times louder than our cars?

Nope read the sig, I got busted for LTs with no cats and a LM its louder than some true duals I have heard and I guess not very good to drive to work at 7am even though I drive it like a grandma. I didn't ask about the bikes because I didn't wanna get into it with him and get ticketed for no cats or something else like that.

Thats why I bought my Hooker. So even after LT's/ORY I can be somewhat quiet.

Hooker or SLP Dual/Dual would quiet it down nicely. Magnaflow if you don't want it too terribly quiet.

Well I would rather not do cats if possible but it is an option. I'm going to get it touch with my friend and see if he still has his old Hooker catback lying around and jump on that if possible.

Just get a Hooker/Magnaflow and get a cutout for when you want her to scream

Sorry to hear that. I better knock on wood and hope I don't get hit with a fix it ticket.
Thank god I kept my factory catback w/mufflers. Believe it or not, there are some cops that will be a bigger jerk to you if you are a cop too.

Still going to the park on 6/10 ?? I won't be there, I'll meet you on Woodward at 7 pm

Yeah I'll be at both the park and Woodward for sure so I will make it a point to meet up with you. I did have proof of insurance but it was expired so all I have to do is show them the one I have at home and I'm fine. As for the Hooker not being the same I know exactly what you mean, my friend had one on his car with bolt-ons and it sounded nice but nowhere near the race car loudness of the LM, guess I'll have to get an e-cutout now.

Maybe try switching the Loudmouth 1 resonator out for a Loudmouth 2 resonator I don't know if that will make much of a difference but it is supposed to be a bit quieter.
On another note, how loud is the Loudmouth catback with stock manifolds and y pipe?

With stock manifold and y pipe its still the loudest catback around but much more tame and sounds very good IMO.
