So yesterday I'm up at Elite watching cars dyno. And it's about 8:30pm and I called to check in with Jenny. Who then tells me that the concorde is making a really nasty noise and that she needs me to come pick her up at work (10pm)


So I take off (in my 1995 GSX which at this point has been up and running for less then 24hours) So I'm sitting at the stop light waiting to get onto the highway(been a good 2 minutes) when a cop pass's me by turns on his lights and does a "U" Turn.

And pulls up right behind me. My window's down so I put my head out the window and look at him and point to myself as if to say "are you pulling me over?".

He nods, so then I ask do you want me to park here or do you want me to move to a safer location (ie:I'm trying to be curtious... being on a bridge blocking traffic and all)

He's on his radio and just puts his finger up as if to say "1 minute" so I say ok.

Then he gets out and walks up to my car and says the reason I pulled you over is because your Exhaust is to loud and these big exhaust are cool looking and all but they are Illegal.... I look at him with a complete dumbfounded face. And reply with something like "I sorry I had no idea, I've had it on for almost 5 years now with out any incident".....Mean while the two Harley Davidson's that were parked next to me take off and head onto the highway. (so loud the cop stopped talking till they left, and then finished his sentance)


All Said and Done - $220 Ticket - infraction description "Modified Exhaust/Falty Exhaust"

I was so flustered. I'm idling at a light for at least 2 minutes. I get pulled over for Noise Ordanance (at IDLE? not reving, not doing a damn thing) Then while I'm pulled over 2 harley's pull up and are sitting there next to us. There exhaust was drowning out my Exhaust while we were sitting there.

Hell I was in my work out fit all Snazed up so not like I looked like a Mischief maker or anything? Hell with out my hat on I look like I'm 50.

Anyrate I was told I have to put my stock Exhaust back on and that my These type of exhausts are Illegal.

I mean the police officer was nice and all... But damn. I know my exhaust is load when I'm on it but at Idle it's not that bad unless your in a confinded area. where it can echo off everything.

For those that are wondering I run an Apexi N1 Cat Back on my car.
