I totally agree. I guess I can still get away with shifting a bit higher because of the quiet stock exhaust. Once I upgrade it with aftermarket, I will def calm down a little.

Actually I believe in Ohio a judge just ruled that you cannot base a ticket on sound level or aftermarket modifications. Meaning, "well the radar freaked out, but I knew he was speeding because of the sound of his exhaust." That does not hold up in court.

wow.. really? that's def not followed by State Troopers here because I got pulled over for accelerating TOO aggressively on an accelerating lane going into a big highway. The trooper was facing the opposite way but he heard my excessive "noise" while accelerating and pulled me over. He clearly told me it's the aggressive "accelerating NOISE" that distracted and led him to pull me over. I was going to ask him," If I can't accelerate FREELY on "acceleration lane", maybe they should rename it to "slowly get on to the highway lane"! lol.. but I kept my cool and didn't say anything.
