I may be soon making the drive up your way every day. I am interviewing for a position up in Decator.
well hook me up when you do and we will do a photoshoot. Where and what in Decatur? Good luck on your job quest.

My exhaust is quieter now than when I was NA with a blitz nurspec catback exhaust. I swear it was louder back then lol.
Not sure, not too loud for me. My straight pipes on the V8 was way louder. I also forgot to mention about the dumptube from the wastegate is ran back into the exhaust, just to make things quieter. I think he heard the turbo spool rather than exhaust.

They have to catch you to give you a ticket.

No, I've never been given a ticket.

California is by far the worst place to own a modified import. If you own a modified domestic car you are good to go. I have seen mustangs running around on slicks with loud exhaust and yet the guy pulled over is driving an import and is getting ticket for no license plate or tinted windows

True that. My uncle with a Dodge Magnum in 22's, and 5% tint all around haven't gotten pulled over for anything since he owned his car.

OLT, I could possibly outrun a cop car, but I could not possibly outrun the Motorola radio!!!

I think we found the answer to this riddle on why he gave me a ticket...

A) he was bored
B) he had to meet his quota
C) he needed to show his authority
D) he was on the way to Krispy Kreme, and my car was faster from the red light
E) he wished he could own a Lexus or anything boosted that looks somewhat cool
F) he owns a Harley or two
G) all the above

I am thinking, "G", all the above.

At the moment -my car isn't photo worthy because I started from -as another member has called his "Trailer Park WIfe". Mine was in pretty sad condition when I bought it. It has come a long way now -but I still have yet to re-install the interiors.

I will find out this morning if I have the job up there. It will also determine if I am able to keep the SC or not. No job = No more SC!

When i DD the race car with the stock 2j i got stopped for and i quote the local texas cop " your plate lamp looks like it might go out in the next week or two" then did not ask for any doc's, simply ask'd about my cage and all that jazz for about 10 minutes and let me go

I'm guessing they heard the wastegate thinking it was an exhaust. Petty to think that the cop was to bored to actually fight crime of some sort.

Respect cops that protect & serve, disrespect cops that ticket & harass.

i agree with the annoyance of harleys. cannot stand them. and useually the drivers of them drive like jackasses so that dosent help. in my soarer i have never gotten a ticket, but lots of looks and lots of times being pulled over. one time for driving too slow. Little do cops realize its called relaxing.
