Who has a cam, gotten pulled over, and been ok?
I am looking to get a cam pretty soon, just wondering who has been pulled over with a cam, gotten a ticket or not, and been alright? Like what has been noticeable and what has a cop overlooked when youve gotten pulled over? I am in california, and im taking care of the smog right now, so that wont necessarily be an issue later on. Just wondering what i can drive around with that is still under the radar enough to not attract too much attention. Mods in sig right now nad haven't had a problem with The Man as far as loudness or ref tickets.

As far as when I get pulled over I usually kill the car before they get out just to be safe. As far as the driving thing that usually depends on the officer and how the night before went for the guy, around here they dont care if you runs straight pipes as long as you arent stupid with them.

UnZfeated,
I'm not sure what your looking for? I just bought a TR CheaTR v.3 cam. It's the new cheater they just came out with. I'm out in Iraq so when I get home I'm going to put it on and see how things go. It's a 117 LSA so it should sound pretty much stock. Also in California so I have to battle SMOG. While I'm on the subject. I see your LTs in your sig. These are not allowed in California. You may pass the sniffer but if you get someone who knows cars you'll fail visual.
Good Luck!

I always appreciate the sound/performance of the cars I pull over, it's merely the driving of those cars I have issue with (I usually ask what they've done to it out of personal interest)... use your head, you're not the only one on the roads...be safe out there.

To be honest, from what ive heard, youre one in a million, my friend. I have heard stories from my mustang pals about mirrors looking for cats, popping hoods, and all that jazz.Never actually heard of them doing it to non-mustang V8s, though. Interesting point, but if i get a cam, then get pulled over and get reff'd. It wont be as easy as changing my intake and exhaust, ya know?

Cops don't get paid to look for cats and illegal exhaust. There are other things they should be out doing. But that's just my .02

The one time I was pulled over and issued a citation the officer didn't say anything about the cam or exhaust and my car is very loud. He did say he had a "hot rod" third gen. He told me if I was going to get sideways and stuff to do it on the backroads!!
One time I was leaving a park and approached a road block with nothing but state troopers and like maybe one or two county/city guys and this trooper stops me and ask for my license which I gave him. Then he looked at it and gave it back and said "Have a nice day." I left my car running the whole time and I didn't catch any flack. As long as your passing emissions I don't think they are going to say anything. However if you are driving like a idiot, they will have alot to say.

Well my driving like an idiot days are back when i had my Z28. Now i would rather have a car that you know is fast just by the sound. Im curious as to what a non-smog county is. Where are they located and how can i find one around here? I will move there if i can. Or is there some kind of waiting list to get in there?
