Got pulled over...

I dont think exhausts are illegal as long as they are under I think 93 db and you still have your cat(s). Unless your car is 95 or older then cat(s) don't matter. Or unless you live in a state where you don't have to get your car inspected. But some companies like DC sports exhausts are all 50 state legal. But in the area I live noone cares about how loud your exhaust is. All my redneck friends have straight pipes on their z71's. I got straight exhaust on my eclipse too, no cat or muffler. My car doesnt throw a CEL for no cat either which is weird, but good because it passes inspection even though it is a '99. I don't understand it....I think the rear O2 sensor is F'ed...its plugged in but is zip tied to the underside of the body, lol. Where I am from the only thing people care about is tint and red and blue underbody lighting.

l eclipse l, Don't nuke us bro!!! Dont nuke us!!! LOL, yeah i worked with a guy whose dad was a cop and he said his dad would pull people over whenever he did not have enough citations for the end of the month. And as matter of fact, i am earing a lead vest and aluminum foil hat. "The government took my babies!" Quote, Family Guy.

Wow lots of replies on this one lol.

I know I need a front plate. I did hear somewhere though that it has to be displayed somewhere on the front of the car. I told the cop that and he said yes but it can't be behind a windsheild. It's also illegal in IL to have license-plate covers, which the windshield is technically acting as.

So an addition to this story. I was in the gas station filling up this morning at like 10am by i55 and a State cop comes in. They usually sit there because it's right by the exit/entrance to the expressway and is at the bottom of a hill that kinda curves. I'm pumping, he parks. He gets out, walks over and goes "You going to be mounting that front plate soon?" lol. I'm like ya, just waiting for the bracket to come in. And he's like good. And walks back to the car and sits there. Twice in like 9 hours in 2 days I got cops on my ass about the front plate. Damn I rock hard.

Since this is on the topic of getting pulled over about dumb shit.
What about one of my homeboys used to have an Evo 8, all stock, then one day he got pulled out by another retard cop. The cop told him that his stock exhaust and stock carbon fiber wing were illegal...

LMAO. What did the cop say when he told him it was stock?

One of the lakes in SC is down like 8ft and has a lot of dry places on it. Well people road 4wheelers on it and the DNR wrote them 1000$ tickets for it. They went to court and the DNR had no laws to back up the tickets so they were thrown out. What kind of bullshit is that?

I dont even think cops know 1/2 the rules they just make up BS. F*CK them all

The cop tried to act like he was right, of course. Then my boy was like "Well lets go to the dealership and I'll show you."
The cop finally just let him go.

Yeah they just make up BS. Some cops are pretty cool though, I've got by with some shit.

So if you're in IL, don't go to Darien with a "modifed" car. They're dicks.

Darien is a hotspot for street racing. So if your in a modified car and you don't want attention from the cops, stay away from Darien, especially at night.

Cops in Darien are jerks anyway. I was at the New China Buffet in Darien (GREAT resturant) and I got a ticket for an expired registration sticker. OK, expired sticker, I forgot to renew it and it was 2 days overdue. But I was in my old 90 Civic Hatchback. On that car in order to see the sticker you need to stop behind the car, get out of your car, and bend/kneel down pretty far to see it. The cop must have been looking for expired stickers since it was a new month. Jerk.
