long tubes and magnaflow is heaven at cruising too. Everyone just kinda stares at you, rolls up their window, and gives u a disgusting look as u cruise by them . I love every minute of it. no cats and not one cop has commented on my exhaust, in a bad way that is. most of them love it. WOT cannot be beat, it's just orgasmic how loud and just freakin awesome it sounds.

I am suprised he did anything to you. A magnaflow catback on an othewise stock exhaust system isn't that loud. I was pretty disappointed in mine, because I was expecting better. No cop ever gave me the time of day with that thing on.

I drove around without a muffler for the better part of 3 months before, and that will get some stares. I actually had a cop behind me at a series of uphill intersections in town, and everytime I gave it gas to climb the hill on the green, the exhaust would scream off of the walls of the buildings. He didn't pull me over, but it sure made me pretty damn nervous. That is what suprises me. I would have never expected to get pulled over for the magnaflow.

Nice thing about Ohio, no noise ordinance in my town. I see muscle cars and street rods running open headers and dumped x/h-pipes on a daily basis.

I love Western NY. The cops around here could care less about how loud my car is. They never hassle F-bodies, Mustangs, Vettes, ect. But I have heard that they do like to harrass kids with loud fart can equipped Imports

Sucks that you got pulled over. My buddy has a 99 Formula with LT's, ORY and Magnaflow and I think his car is quiet until he goes WOT. Even then I wouldn't call it loud enough to warrent a ticket.

the cops are the same in my area. I guess they figure if you have a real engine in your car you should be allowed to have a mean sound to go with it... but the coffee can mufflers on a car that struggles under normal acceleration is just ridiculous

Probably had more to do with how you drove than the sound of your car.

AFAIK, at least in Hamilton County, OH (where I'm from), there are different noise regulations for motorcycles than cars. Ever hear the saying "loud pipes save lives"?

My old Dart got driven around with a huge cam and open headers ALOT, my '88 has been on open cutout since I put the cam in, and I have yet to be bothered. Hell, my local cops are known for being dicks about exhausts too.

Guess it's just all in how you drive your car.

My 00 Z has a magnaflow catback, y pipe, and headers...ur right it does sound nice. To get the full effect drive under an overpass and get it up to about 4 grand or so, man that sounds nice!
