Default Just got cutout

Man I love this thing. Now this is the sound that I was looking for. Wonder how much louder it will be when I install my heads and MS4

I was at the shop getting it installed and there was a cop there. We made small talk and then the technician was like, hey man are you gonna want this thing open for the drive home. The cop steped in and answered for me . Its all good. Just uncapped in when I got home. He was smilin when he said that. I know that he wanted to hear it.

I never talk to cops about my car anymore. A couple years ago some of my friends where talking to a cop that seemed cool in McDonalds. So they got talking about my freinds car(91 stang) and went outside to show him. He ended up getting ticket or written warning I can't remember for the slicks also for them sticking to far outside of the car, Nitrous bottle being hooked up. And exhaust no cats/to loud. I remember we had to put in some test pipe sections in the exhaust so we could put cat. converters in and out. some DOT approved tires and removed the nitrous bottle and took it down to the court house to prove we had made the required changes and I think he ended up paying like 80 for court fee's.

wow that's terrible...

what a ******** thing to do..... its one thing to get pulled over and get a ticket for that stuff... but to have the guy pretend to be a car guy and just interested in your ride, have you show him all the mods.. and then ticket you for them?

wow bad karma to him.
