Was talking to this kid the other day and he said he got a crapton of tickets for having non stock parts in his car. Said it was illegal to have a turbo on a vehicle that stock did not come with a turbo. He said it was really new shit that was just put into effect. This can’t be true ---

doubt it. Most cops will never look under the hood of a car in a traffic stop so they wont be able to prove anything is done to the motor. ---

I had a cop look under my hood once. He was going to write me a ticket for my intake because it had a “for off road use only” sticker on it. Damn you Schenectady PD. ---

Easiest way to bypass the exhaust laws, buy a v8 equipped domestic. My mustang is ridiculously loud for what it is and Ive never once been bothered. its easily twice as loud as my old B16 hatch and I got 3-4 tickets in the year I owned my civic. ---

Or just leave the stock muffler on it. My car is catless, 1.75" header, 3" exhaust and you would never know unless you looked at it on a lift. ---

There are a TON of things you can get nailed for. Usually the officers do not write those tickets though. Although at the race out in CA, you can easily walk away with 10+ tickets(exhaust, non-carb approved intake, cats, headlights lower than legally allowed b/c the car has been dropped, etc etc). ---

The biggest indicator to a cop is the exhaust tip, i.e. what they can see. If they see a big can under the bumper and not the oem looking donkey cock muffler, then you’re getting nailed! ---
