got pulled over for 4 days straight!!!

[TatII]

yeah you heard me, i've been pulled over for 4 days straight. everytime was for an aftermarket exhuast in random places!!! damn you mayor bloomberg!! this mayor is a freaking pain in the ass!! he cracking down this so hard, hes also planning to ticket people for driving coffee on teh subway, putting bags on a unoccupied seat, and putting feet on the seat in the train!!! this guy is such a freaking ass.

anyways i was lucky enough to get away with 3 of the tickets, that is until today. now i have to deal with 2 summon's, 1 for after market exhuast, 2 unnesccary engine noise. now i'm forced to put a damn silencer on my car. however test driving it today with it on, the car sounds almost stock but the thing still freaking pulls!!! i was able to get the rear squiqqly when i shift from 1st to 2nd gear with my 255mm wide tires. so i guess its a good thing, and if i absolutely have a planed race, i would just pull the silencer off.

just as warning to anyone in the nyc area thats all, even my friend with his stock SRT-4 got pulled over and ticketed for his stock exhuast. this is very common with srt-4's in nyc. did i mention damn mayor bloomberg!!!??

You better watch out cause next thing you know you'll be ticketed for having a to0n3r3d type car.

People are getting pulled over with stock cars for exhaust? thats ridiculous. Half of those cops drive harleys anyways that are 10X louder than 90% of cars out there. I have a greddy sp2, the thing is it's almost as quiet as a stock exhaust, and i still get pulled over and ticketed all the time. It really chaps my ass you know.

[tha_new_guy]

Do they pull over Camaro SS and Mustang Cobras too? Those got pretty loud exhausts stock, not to talk about aftermarket.

Some cops in my area are just biased. They pull over a speeding 67 camaro and admire his car, then they turn around and pull over a lowered civic hatch for "illegal lights" or "unnecessary engine noise". Camaro running open headers goes scott free, while the import with a full exhaust gets ticketed. How does that work? Theres a crazy bias against imports here, dunno bout NY.

[TheStang00]

sounds pretty shitty to me, write a letter to someone in the local gov't. stock exhausts shouldnt be getting pulled over.

[TatII]

well locally here is like 10 million people. haha theres not enough of us to change anything. also the SRT-4 guys just has to go to court to prove that their exhuast is stock and they'll get away scott free too.

How gay.....

Seems like in NYC, exhasuts should be the least of the Mayor's worries.

and I'm glad someone else spoke up about the harley thing. That crosses my mind every time one of these subjects comes up. I guess you get a little mroe respect for buying an obnoxious piece of machinery that serves no performance purpose than building a car that serves a performance purpose. Meanwhile the harley is louder stock than our "Sewing machines," are with full 3" exhaust with no cat. Hmmmm strange. Smells like bullshit to me.

ONce again, focus your funding assbag politicians.

Bull Shit on the ticket for STOCK EXAUST...
now unnessicary negine noise for a CAI or osmething i can beleive...but not exaust...when manufactures make a car they design the exaust to be withing ALL states and city's sound laws.

and if it isnt BS he should contest the hell out of it....

It happens, lots of cops don't know what is stock what isn't. SRT-4's aren't the quietest thing on the road in stock form.

I can see where one could assume it's not stock.

Big deal, that's an easy ticket to get out of. You've got all the proof you need.

[TheStang00]

its still a bitch to have to go to court

[King Of Crunk]

my ex g/f's dad got pulled over in his 350z with just a stock exhaust....he fought it though and won...no harm done...just a waste of his time..

[TatII]

yeah cops can be pretty gaynal.

[BullDog71ss]

Damn, that's getting a bit ridiculous isn't it.

I'm just glad the cops in Az don't give a damn about that shit at all. Noise ordinance doesnt seem to be an issue at all here...you wanna blast your stereo, go ahead, you wanna run open exhaust on a 5.0, have at it. The cops just ignore most of it here. They just have a really bad habit of shooting ppl is all. I suppose it's a small price to pay for the freedom of modded cars...ugh.

That definetly sucks man, sorry to hear that.

[mason_RsX]

wow thats tough luck, those crackdowns must suck...dont cops have other things to do with their lives in NYC...dont u guys have rapists and murderers to catch??

around here you have to be extremely excessive in your exhaust tone to get ticketed...the only exception are the big tuner shows where cops spend the night patrolling the show area and pull ppl over for infractions...

haha thats what i'm saying. and don't worry, the cops in nyc are very very trigger happy. and they're never around when you need them, but are always there when you don't want them around. sucks!!!
