cop problems with duals??? I am going to get my duals (no cats) on this week. I was just wondering if any of you guys with a true dual setup on your cars, have had any problems with your local police. If so, what happened? Im gonna do it anyway, just gauging what I should expect....Thanks

IMO its all on how you drive and present yourself.
My 00 is pretty loud and far from stealth, even though Im running cats. Even when taking off from a light its hard to keep it quiet otherwise I'll bog.
About a month ago I was on my way home from my friends house. Well I got stuck at a red light and a cop pulls up next to me. All of a sudden the rpms went down to 500rpms nearly stalling the car then shot up to 2000rpms. The cop looked over at me and I just waved. When the light turned green I turned left and the cop just stayed there instead of turning left (He was in the turn lane). He waited until the road was clear and then turned and came the same direction as me. At the next light he was again right next to me but didnt even look at me. When the light changed he turned right and I kept going.

Had mine on for almost a year now, and I haven't had a single problem with cops. And I have been next to cops at red lights, and been around plenty of them, with no problems.
I have custom duals 2.5" dumped at the axle.

No cop problems here.. My sweet-thunder setup sounded like a dragster. Actually got complimented by a few cops.. Since most of them here in Hawaii drive their own modded cars. Camaros and Cobras... gotta love em'
havent had any probs with mine either...although i've only had them on for like a week now...when i get around a cop i just chill, take off normal and whatnot, but if im out and no one is around ill bang a couple gears and if there was to a cop within a 2 mile radius of me im sure they would wonder what was going on...but there shouldnt be any probs just driving...

Ha whats up jim. This is sam. Sorry i havnt got ahold of you yet to listen to my car. I have been followed by two cops so far and beside a bunch. I think as long sa you dont give them a reason to pull you over they will leave you alone in your car. Especially since your car is lowered they wont see it as weel. I also painted mine black to hide it a bit more.

I wouldn't be suprised if you did get hassled alittle but you should be ok. Between the sound, smell, and no visible exhaust tips it's pretty much a dead give away for a cop that's enforcing the DOT laws. I haven't had any troubles myself and I do cruise around with open headers/extensions alot too so I don't think that they care.

I think you'll be fine so long as you don't do anything to draw extra attention to yourself (burnouts, excessive revving on College Ave., etc) and don't catch the eye of a traffic **** (that small percentage of our profession that lives for vehicle code enforcement), but I can't guarantee anything as the State College PD didn't have much of a sense of humor back when I lived in Happy Valley!

I have a buddy with TSP Rumbler TD, and his isn't insanely loud even with no cats and LT's. In fact, he doesn't even get any interior resonance for some reason. I think whatever mufflers they use would be a good option if you're wanting to keep the cops attention elsewhere.
