Default Anyone Running This Setup?

PPE Headers + Invidia Midpipe + F Sport Exhaust?

I really want headers, but I am really scared, because without the headers I get pulled over enough (California) and I don't want to get silencers, then Ill sound like a wimp haha.

Suggestions?

Sorry off topic - do you get pulled over for the F sport + invidia setup because it's too loud? How much is the ticket ..?

Do it. Your car is already loud as hell PJ. Might as well make it a bit louder

Now we can hear you 1.5 miles away when your pulling up to the meets instead of only a mile

there are no silencers for the f-sport exhaust.

and the frequency of getting pulled over is more of a matter of attracting the wrong type of attention and/or the result of poor driving habits rather than the parts themselves.

I'll agree to that partly. I have a friend with a G35, XO2 exhaust and test pipes. Cop pulls him over and said I heard your car from the next street over. Had to rush in the direction I heard your car to catch up. I laughed so hard

Disagree, with this set up I have gotten pulled over even driving the speed limit, not gunning it.

I even leave my throttle controller on ECO mode so it slowly accelerates.

And I haven't gotten a ticket yet, cops are nice to me because they see my hospital badge and stethoscope

bad driving habits are more than just "speeding" and/or "WOT acceleration".

then again, red cars are more likely to be pulled over than a car of another color, if you would believe that.

or maybe, just maybe, your car is really "too loud" - even if you don't think so.

but if you think you can continue to avoid tickets because cops see your hospital badge and stethoscope, then what's to worry about?

It's too raspy in my opinion. I say just stick with your current set up, or remove the invidia and add the headers. I've been pulled over for my set up too, and I don't think I could handle my car being any louder haha. I do however like the idea of 17 hp increase from the headers though
