Does Anyone get pulled over because of aftermarket CBE???

Lemers

Modifications in themselves generally are not illegal. If your OEM exhaust was damaged then you'ld be exspected to fix it. You can not be mandated to buy an OEM pat either. Where you may break the law in this case is noise level or emissions.

YEa I tried to explain that but he said "All aftermarket parts are illegal!!".

Arguing with a cop=Bad idea.

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

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

In most states, all aftermarket parts that have to do with emissions are illegal if they don't have a CARB certification.

Other modifications might be illegal too, for example ride height.

Ok show a law that says afermarket exausts in themselves are illegal. The laws are most likely written to outlaw higher emission levels and noise levels. Neither of these can be proven on the street by a cop by looking at your exaust.

I'm not going to get in a discussion with you, the law is different in every state.

However the cop don't need to prove nothing, you are the one that will need to do it in court.

Look at the laws in your state!

Ask your DMV to provide you with the law that states all aftermarket parts are illegal

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

KillerBee370

Ummm... not to mention smog?

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

I asked that also.. But the cop said " it doesn't matter becuase ur car has aftermarket exhaust which is illegal. You see that big coffee can? That meNs it's not stock that's y i made u to stop." and " if your car is Ferrari or mustang and makes loud noise,Then I didn't pull u over. Press the gas a little bit". I pushed it. He goes " wow..that's why I keep telling u it's illegal. Let me have ur license and registration."
WTF....
