Default Busted or Not

I need to get the car to the exhaust shop since I only have open headers for it now and was interested to hear from the group whether or not I would get busted for driving the car to Wylie from Rockwall?

not sure, im gonna attempt the same thing but only across irving lol. most likely if you get stopped, just tell them your on your way to the exhaust shop, if you have the exhaust on you thats a + so they would be able to make a better judgement, got caught before, told them this and they let me go. But then again some cops are ********. I will have my xpipe with me on the way to get it welded up.

Good suggestion. I'll throw my Cats and catback in the car and have my wife follow me. I'll also try to keep the RPMs down to a low roor

Make sure you have an appointment with the shop first and if you get pulled over, feel free to give the officer the shop's info and number.

Did you ever think that the cop is asking you so you open it up and he can either nail you for something right there or so he knows to keep and eye out for you?
