Turns out they were using them in classes they were teaching to teach the police officers about illegal modifications.
I asked one of the cops about what he learned, and he said they only tought on honda and acura, I asked about Mitsu, Suby, Nissan, Domestics, etc and he said nope, only honda and acura.

well, technically, the public wasn't supposed to know about this training, and it wasn't really formal training, more of like come out here, and check this car out and I'll tell you what isn't stock about it.

lol if you are there at the wrong place and the wrong time. you will be busted, even with catted DP, because cops dont care your DP is catted noncatted. he will tell you that your exhaust has been modified which is illegal, so there you go a ticket.

1. illegal to midify the exhaust, period?
2. catted, still illegal? meaning can this ticket be disputed?
3. fix it ticket or what? if fix it, does that mean i have to go back to stock?

I can hear the guys street racing sometimes on a clear night from my house in Alameda, which is basically right across the water from this street racing area in oakland, down by the docks.
I heard it alot last night and thursday so you might be right.

2: I thought this was the place where ANY modification to stock, including high flow cats, is illegal.

LOL! F all those guys. Yeah Alameda airstrip is just waiting for a few thousand $ for k-rails and timing lights for weekend racing. Not hard to think up Mr. Mayor
My mod exhaust tickets involve me NOT fixing my exhaust and still getting it signed off
$10? cool!
