So I was coming up on a stop sign on the back side of Target on Sunrise. Parked cars lined the sides of the road, as they always do, but little did I noticed that the end car of the right side was a squad car. I couldn't see it because he was in front of a larger truck that was parked. Well, I was going to make my stop, so I down shifted into second gear, and the second I got it into gear I was right next the the cop. I knew I was going to get pulled over because of my exhaust. I am stopped at the line, I make my right turn, the second I start to go, I see the cop start to pull out. I knew it, he turned on his still lights and I pulled over to the side.

I turend off my ignition and had all my paper work ready. When he got to my window, he was oddly polite. I have him my stuff and he asked if I knew whyhe pulled me over. Knowing it was my exhaust, I said I have no idea. He told me that my exhaust sounded a little loud. I told him that I had a silencer that I could put in that would reduce the sound level. He said that I would probably be best if I did that to avoid other units pulling me over. He then asked if I minded popping my hood. Knowing that everything was completely stock, I did not hesitate. I asked if he wanted me to get out, and he said that was fine. So he looked over my engine bay briefly. I was impressed, he was able to point out a lot of parts, including the turbo. I was impressed that he some what knew what he was talking about. We talked about the car for a few moments or so. Then he suggested that I should mount my front plate that way I don't give officers ammunition to write me up. Then he said I was free to go.

Lol, I think that he really just wanted to look at the car. That was honestly the nicest cop that I have encountered in any "pulled over" situation (being the driver or passenger).

That's cool of him. I've still yet to run in to a cop that was nice and didn't write me a ticket....actually, I'm looking for a cop that would let me go without writing me a ticket. :(

I got away with a warning this morning on sunrise before jackson. He said "How about an ass chewin' and a get on down the road?" I said thanks.

CHPD has always been cool to me, even back with my eclipse when I was living down there, and the arcade was in birdgage, I would drive up and down greenback every day, never had one problem.

I did have a chpd pull me over once tho, but he just wanted to look at the car :)

I'll become a cop, pull you over just to let you go. how does that sound?

"boo hoo.. I cannot believe I was speeding officer"*bats eyes*"I promise never ever to do that again"*Flashes Rack*

I knew I was going to get pulled over because of my exhaust.
What exhaust setup are you running?

What exhaust setup are you running?

Skunk2 Catback.... the only aftermarket Exhaust that I have seen that stays under the Decible limit of 95 is Greddy with 92. My Skunk2 is 103 I believe, but if I put the silencer in it will take it down a few....

Next time we are both at the Sacramento gathering, I would like to see how much louder your car is than mine or vice versa...

We should do some exhaust noise tests, but we need to find a place to do it, so that we aren't harassing the people at the meet spot. I'd be interested in seeing who's is teh loudest.

we should all pitch in for this :)

sounds good, I'll be sure to have my silencer out before I go. But like Josh was saying, we should go find a deserted area to do it at....

It's also good for calibrating your sound system.

So I put my silencer in last night.... and I didn't think that it would make that big of a difference.... but it did. Lol its like, where did all that exhaust bass go?

I got let off easy by CHP once, they pulled me over for reckless driving and exhibition of speed back when before my S13 was torn apart. After making me sweat a little bit, he told me to take it easy and have a nice night

wait a tick....

Is that like the second RussA thread bumped this week? Makes you wonder.

The only time I've gotten a ticket was from a CHP on Birdcage for having a friggen green license plate light on my Saturn.

Yet I've had 3 close calls/warnings from cops in the Subaru for speeding, no tickets yet. :o

Knowing it was my exhaust, I said I have no idea.

haha, nice :D
