Gotta luv sunny california.
So I was driving back from the bank. Right before I pulled onto my street, I saw a cop car behind a car that just got pulled over, so I switched lanes and passed going like 20 mph. Then the cop pulls back onto the road, tails me, shines his flood light on me, then the dreaded sound... his ****ing siren. I was literally 50 feet from my house.
Cop comes up to me and says, "you know why I pulled you over?" I wanted to say "cuz your a ****ing dick, with nothing better to do." but I knew better. I said no sir. He said its cuz of your modified exhaust system. Then he uttered the words you never wanna hear," Do you have any other modifcation's done to your engine?" lying was futile cause he was gonna pop my hood regardless. So I said intake and exhaust manifold (which I dont have carb stickers for.)
I told them that I read california's vehicle code and it specifically said that exhaust modifications are illegal only if it exceeds 95 decibels. They said its not realistic for them to carry decibel meters around and they have to site me from what they see. cause I was at 2k from when I got pulled over. They popped my hood, sited me for my header, but the cop obviously was a noobie or sumthing because he thought the "hydrolock warning" sticker was the carb sticker.
I also asked them if they pull over loud *** 67 mustand and escalades with flows, they said no, becuase most likley suvs and trucks dont have other illegal modifcations and the majority of the racers in my area are imports . So they admitted to having a doublestandard ****in pigs.
To top it off the cop said this is one of the nicest cars he's pulled over. wow...gee.. that makes me feel a whole lot better!
so if anyone has a stock muffler for sale... I NEED ONE AT ANY PRICE, becuase supposedly Im not allowed to drive my car until I get it fixed...hmmm I wonder how Im gonna drive my car to the state ref when its illegal to drive my car in the first place!
as if dynoing at 116 whp wasnt bad enough now this crap. what a week.
