Well i got pulled over tonight by the trooper that pulls everyone over for anything. I wasn't doing anything wrong whatsoever. I was actually going 5 mph under the speed limit because the street i was on was extremely rough and my car rides like a lumber wagon.
Anyway it was for the side window tint. I have to redo it. It came up as 33% on the gauge. Screw it, i'll redo it with 43% tint over the winter. I think if it would have read anything in the 40's he would have been cool. He didn't write me any warnings or fixit tickets just told me to take care of it. I was ok with that part.
Then he asked me what type of exhaust I have on my car. I told him and of course he had no clue what an RSR exhaust was. He said that that the law states that it can't be any louder than the stock system that came with the car. My car has a nice deep rumble at idle but at cruising speed it's very quiet. I thought to my self, WTF! I rapped off to him what those dam Harley's. They can run around basically with open Headers but nobody seems to bother them. If a Harley came from the factory with a 2" exhaust pipe and 130dB it would be ok, because it came factory like that? This is bullshit. I reved the car to about 3k and he said yeah that's not too bad and that was the end of that.
This is getting to be bullshit! I think the law would rather us do dope and dope dealing than good clean hobbies like these.
What's you guys in MN take on this? You share most the same laws as we do along with IA too I believe. Do you run into these hassles?
