You need to bring up the decible issue for sure, the cop had NO way to give an accurate reading, especially when he was DRIVING twords you. Thats just dumb that the state has not specified a dB limit, but then again they'd be losing money if people could prove their innocense. This just pisses me off, what about the red neck trucks w/straight pipes!? I have to cover my ear when those things go by.

See in Owatonna the cops know that we research the laws, so as soon as they pull us over we have our reasons lined up. I was in the pass seat of my friends srt4 and kept telling the cop that it is stock parts and he wrote out the ticket but then ripped it up so he wouldnt get in trouble.

When they pulled me over for exhaust I asked if the cop wanted to see my CARB # for my 50 state street legal exhaust. He was so confused. I took the time to tell him that I didnt want to break the law and made sure my exhaust was legal. I said that it is a full aftermarket peice that bolt on AFTER the cat. I then told him I would never spend $800 to have illegal parts on my car. Well I didnt pay that much, and I do spend more then that on parts, BUT the cop was so confused he just told me to to tone it down in residential areas.

I was so dumb founded when the cop explained what was going on. I was speechless. I couldn't even find the words to descibe my thoughts.

And your right on about them not making any money if we could prove our innocents that's how almost every law that's ever been writen. Is being taken out of context IMO.

I just hate out our past generations haven't done anything to fix these issues. The procute of Money has messed up everything IMO. No one cares about nothing but the $$$ these days.

And those that do are far and few between.

funny, the stealth with the gutted kittys was LOUDER than most 1g's with just exhaust on it.
Im not following you, this was in your eclipse right?
I'll tell you why you got pulled over.
2 toned interior, 5" tip, blingin rims, body kit....not saying its right, its just reason.
if in jenny's car:
gauges on a-pillar, 4" tip, etc..
the cops aren't 'profiling' they are just getting educated.
Hince why stock looking exhaust is good.
I would fight it, and you can probably get out of it, gl.

The city was Minneapolis - (I had just come from Elite)

And was sitting at the light waiting to go onto 94E
You're screwed.

ithink it';s bogus, you still haev stock catalytic converters right? if not, too bad for you, but if you do, you can totally argue the ticket. a stock cat. car is quiet even with no mufflers cause the cat(s) act as mufflers. also your turbo. that's a retarded claim on the cops part.

and to top it off the motorcylcse right next tio you.

To the guy who hasn't gotten pulled over in CA yet. You're time will come. You wanna talk about a state that is strict on modded cars. You'll love it especially when it comes time to test emissions. Hope you're car looks completely stock. They are exrememly schooled up at the shops there. My buddy failed because he had an EVO 16g on his 1g, a Greddy BOV, and and upper IC pipe. So he borrowed all my stock shit so he could pass, yet he still failed because he had my crushed and polished 1g bov on there. I'd rather have a ticket for "illegal exhaust" then have no plates on my car because I have a different blow off valve. Enjoy your new home. Diego is nice for sure, but if one of your many reasons to leave MN was because of stupid laws, then you have chosen poorly on which state to move into.

that sucks what happend man

i duno hopefully this will cheer you up but:
i got 'pulled' over by the valleyfair police tonight for speeding when these kids kept messing with me infront of me in a ford probe (ie; they would stop randomly and flick me off and then go and do it again so i figured i would speed by them to stop this since i did have other people in the car), well the secruity guard pulled me over and he asked what i was doing, i told him what happend and automaticly he cuts me off and says 'dont give me that crap' i almost just took off on him.. he was only a VALLEYFAIR secruity guard wtf is he gana do keep me from going on the power tower? he probley could get police involved though, but i guess he knows what since hes surposedly seen skulls on peoples windsheilds for speeding in the valleyfair parking lot :rant: :censored: :stick:


anyways, thats wrong what happend, i wouldve been speechless too becuase of the thoughts going through my head over somthing so dumb

[SlowWhite]

It was in my 2G Eclipse. Jenny's car still has stock Exhaust.

Regardless I'm going to go down and contest the ticket. worste comes to worste... hey I pay the fine. But at least I tried.
