cops and stealthy exhausts

I was wondering, has any subaru owner gotten hassled by a cop due to having either a vishnu dual tip catback, borla hush, stromung dual tip, m2 axleback, or any other stealth back piping? has anyone gotten hassled for a greddy evo (carb legal) yet?

I just got my Stromung dual tip, nothing so far. I driven past so many cops, pulled away from a light with one behind me, nothing.

I think the reason being a lot of you w/ melon shooters get pulled over a lot is because the reflection of the muffler at certain angle. I found that if you paint your sideway melon shooter flat black to disguise that look will definitely avoid the attention from cops. Well, at least it worked for me.

Had a greddy evo for about a year, cops talked to me once a week (that was with all cats)

Have a borla hush with 1 high flow cat, no resonator and the 3" flange and I never get a second look after they wave to me.

"I didn't get two plates from DMV officer..." I wish. Front plateless and most cops don't care (watch out for those CHiPs).

Hell yea, CHIPs are ****en lame, if you get pulled over by one, your 99% of the time going to get a ticket, thats all the do, is write Moving Violations and Fix It tickets. There the laziest cops.

I have more respect for meter maids then CHiPs

I have a Vishnu Stage 2 Dual Tip Exhaust setup and got pulled over twice (CHP and SFPD) for what was clearly a "speed trap" (I digress) and each time, no hassle at all.
