No, I'll change back to stock cats and leave it at that. The CBE/HFC is s bit too loud for me anyway. I have interior panels rattling when accelerating hard. That's a bit much. So the Berk CBE with stock cats will be just right for me I think. Besides that, I want to do some autocross and I think HFC's are not allowed in stock class so another reason to change back to stock.

I got pulled over in my old evo before because the cop said my exhaust was too loud, I had a stock exhaust, only thing done to the car was a CAI. He again told me it was too loud, so I told him to f off and to call Mitsubishi if he had a problem with it, otherwise I wasnt doing anything illegal, he then forced me to come to the police station and wrote me 3 tickets, tints (I had 35% tints all around), not using my turn signal, and following too closely to other cars. Suburb cops have nothing better to do and think they are gods. *facepalm*

:mad:

Arguing with a cop=Bad idea.

My question: How can someone, who doesn't even know the law, enforce it? :shakes head:

PS: Might be interested in the HFCs if the price is right.

Curious. Why is it ok for Harleys to be loud and not Zeds? Why do we Harleys get away with it? why the discrepency?

I think the f bomb is what got you 3 tickets

In MA after market exhaust is perfectly legal in of itself. However they passed a new law last year that states that any installed exhaust can not be louder than stock. Ah ... who exactly has this information and who did they give it to? I know a guy that was failed on their annual safety inspection because the inspector said the car was too loud ... yet the car was stock.

Stock quiet on a Toyota Camry is a bit different than stock quiet on a Z06 Corvette.

Chicks driving big trucks are hot too, but trucks aren't chick cars and neither is the Z.

Because many Harley owners do the flag-waving thing here in the USA. So they are loud, but "patriotic". A lot of cops ride Harleys as well on off days. And those that don't are afraid of the Harley riders.

Harleys w/open pipes = worst sounding vehicles on the road :icon14:

Harley's are American. Some people hate imports.

Loud aftermarket exhausts are assosiated with young kids. Politically it's easy to pick on them because a don't usually vote.
