There are alot of farm trucks that are louder but just don't act a fool when a cops around and you should be OK! that set up is not so bad once your cruising but with a good size stall gettin' going can be an ear full!

Nah, not really.

Most cops around here are down with muscle cars.



I'd be more worried about clearance issues considering you're already on Strano springs.....

haha yes a stall can be a bit loud mines a DD so its at 2200 which i have headers,cam, and a long powerstick for exhaust and W/O cats and some other stuff but when i wana go anywhere that rasp and drone is always there lol so if you get a stall don't get anywhere form 2k-2200 because thats where the drone and rasp is, and its honestly not that loud if you let off the gas and easily eas back up.

I have to say, hinesville police department is out for money, nothing else, and they will write tickets for wheels too big. Yeah, seriously. My stock ZR1's and tey've questioned me in a parking lot, but so far we're good. There's three of us here in town, i have sweet thunders, they have bullets, and as long as you're not stupid, you're good. just remember, you gotta know when to play and when not to. But i have to admit, my neighbors hate me

Got stopped two weeks ago. Was amazing. He told me i was going a little fast....no ticket..not even a warning.

Told me how good the car sounded, then asked me a ton of questions. Walked around car. Told me i really needed front plate, but he was not going to give me a warning on that either. But said others might.

To cool. Would have asked him if he wanted to take it for a ride, or go for one, but had to get to work.

I would love to play around with thier rader detector sometime. See if its harder to get a car like this on rader. IE Black, headlights down, no front plate. Compared to a 'normal' car.

I drove around for a couple of weeks open header (cutouts open) and never had any trouble its just all a matter of the local polices desire to bust fast cars.
