For those of you living in sj be very careful...its becoming to be every weekend night when i get pulled over, just because i am driving a subaru with a catback..im driving the speedlimit making shure i follow every rule and still get pulled over..effin cops!!! =/

 

that sucks it becoming an issue of profiling, but you're not following every rule... you have a catback....

i might be wrong, but i thought having a car over the decibal limit was illegal....


of course, if you got pulled over for bs, that sucks even more :\

 

well everytime i get pulled over they just want to pop my hood...they dont even notice that i have a catless downpipe and a blow off valve...They said it was ok to have the catback..

 

Most cops know our cars are turbo and wont hassle us for an aftermarket bov.
now if you were in a lets say a honda w/ a bov/turbo..diff outcome.

 

I SEE your from San Jose......man its all bad right now to drive any modded imports in that area. they are "cracking down" on street racing by ticketing them

 

There are a shizload of cops on tully and on friday & saturday nights there are twice as many.


Question: DO you still have the STi WIng? I think thats one of the major reason why our cars get pulled over. SHoot I'm rocking my sti with 13 covered holes!!! When they popped open your hood what did they check for? What did they ticket you for?

 

Tons of HP on the highway today pulling everyone over. Must be end of the month.... oh... it is!!

Or is it a terror alert?

 

hey daredevil not every catback is over the dec limit

 

I talked to my brother in law over the weekend about this. He's Fresno P.D. They've had some issues lately with street racing including some deaths. He was telling me how he just was in a street racing task force type class and what they were taught to look for.

They are getting somewhat smarter. They look for carb stickers and obviously modified parts...like front mount intercoolers and turbos in cars that shouldn't have them.

I told him how we've had some guys with pretty much stock cars pulled over and had their hood popped and what not. He said that big wings and big exhaust tips can be used as PROBABLE CAUSE to pull someone over and pop their hood....stock or not. They can just say they didn't know. He told me they don't care about cat backs unless your car is insanely loud which would make them think it's more than a cat back.

He could care less though. Too busy dealing with shootings and dead bodies.

 

damn that sucks, I just moved to Oregon and there are buckets everywhere w/ loud exhausts... I guess the cops over here dont give a ****.

 

most don't.

They get revenue from speeding californians.


Beyond that I don't think they factor tickets so heavily into their state budget. CHP is HUGE and growing every day.

 

Still havnt been pulled over yet *crosses fingers*

 

Seriously? Wow.
Do you actually drive a car?

 

some drive a completely stock STi and 90% of the time, under the speedlimit... lol...

 

i'm right around that area too and haven't been pulled over lately (knock on wood). It helps to have a stealthy exhaust, i was pulled over before for a bosal single tip. Shiny = attention, my **** is pretty loud though.
