Default Got screwed

I got stopped for hauling *** by DPS. Then he said my car was too loud. I told him I had to cut the muffs off to replaced my clutch "which I did do a few days ago" cause I got a custom X and its welded. Well he looked under my car and said that was unacceptable. All that I have is long tubes with the x pipe and thats it. He came back and gave me my 2 tickets. MAN

That sucks. I just love when people weld their exhaust from front to back. Makes taking the trans out real easy

Im going to put my exhaust back together, but I like it loud.. The bullets that were on it were bad also, so I have to get new ones. I do have a "pair" and they are normal size and hairy like this.--------->

Honestly, I don't see how he screwed you on this one. You installed an X-pipe on a car with longtubes, no cats, and decided not to install any type of muffler. It should be no surprise this exhaust was going to be loud, to put it mildly. Going WOT is going to attract attention, whether you want it or not. I can understand being being a little irate because you got caught, but I think the cop had good reason to ticket you on those two points. You play, be prepared to pay. Hopefully they're not too pricey.

Dude. You really have no reason to bitch. You were breaking the law and got caught. Everyone of us that runs around with illegal exhaust is playing a game of Russian roulette. You're lucky he only gave you 2 tickets.

You play the "victim" card VERY well. You must have a lot of practice, or supervision, doing that.

You can get the ticket for your mufflers dismissed if you show up WITH the car fixed and the court officer goes out to inspect/listen to it.

ATLEAST add some resonators soon after the headers that look like cats. With any dumped exhaust I have made I started buying some e-bay stainless high flow cats and gutting all the ceramic material out of the body. For one it refines the sound, and mainly they appear to be cats. Of course they wont totally offset having no muffler at all.

I got pulled over late one night in my neighborhood for having loud exhaust. Had 2 chamber 3" Flowmasters on it without tailpipes. Cop was going to write me a ticket if I didn't rev it up. I revved it up, pissed off the neighbors at 2 am and the cop let me go.
