newcomer to oahu

Hey all, I am somewhat new to subaru's, i heard that most subaru owners in hawaii are on the site, and i will be moving there soon, to schofield barracks. I just had some concerns about some future mods and how they will affect me out there. like, i wanna do a catless exhaust, and im just concerned about how the traffic cops are there. i mean, are the dickholes about it, or do they pretty much leave you alone until you are stupid. i am currently in tn/ky and they really dont bother you here at all. i have heard there is an awd dyno there, does anyone know the name of the shop so i can research them?, if theres anything else ya'll can think of that i need to know, just shoot it at me. i sure appreciate any heads up you can give me. thanks

You can run a straight pipe as long as you stay out of Waikiki, and the AWD dyno is at RAD's Motorsports. However, there are not tuners here except Reid-o ( send him a pm ) or, we also fly in mainland tuners every now and then.

Blond hair, blue eyes is not the typical "beach bum" on O'ahu.

Haters gonna hate, not much you can do! There are way more cool people than haters though, so I wouldn't stress it too much.
