bummer, but if your exhaust is illegal there's not much you can do about that aspect of the bust. that being said, what the cop did was b.s. and you should try to fight it. as for the noise, heck i think my stock exhaust is too loud!

I was once pulled over right after buying food with my gf. Just for my tints, and he made me wait 30 min until my food was cold. Most cop stories here are about bothersome badge holders...so don't sweat it.

Cheers

He probably pulled you over because you call it 'tints'.

Ticketing someone that was breaking the law is B.S.?

+1 90% of the drivers in my condo speed through the parking lot at 15-20mph. it really bugs me. and if they're following me driving "slowly" at 5-10 mph, they tail me. gotta love it.

I get tail-gated leaving my neighborhood even at 25mph. Sometimes I'll even go to 27 or so, and they still won't back off. F**kers. It makes engine braking to a stop in 1st gear very satisfying.

Oh yeah, I have the same issue in where I live. I don't give a shit though, I slow down even more if they tail gate.

But I don't know all of the details on this or have heard the exhaust myself to make any firm judgments.
The whole situation is rough.

I cop can follow anyone for any or no reason all they want. He does not need any reason at all..
Maybe he was going to the same place as you, eh.

Why do you have a louder exhaust? Most people have a louder exhaust for one reason. To draw more attention to themselves because they are insecure.

I think its funny your neighbors are giving you a hard time. I guess in a way you got the attention you were looking for

I totally agree, if you don't want tickets, don't attract attention to yourself.

That's definitely not true, a by-product of more power = more sound, there's nothing you can do about it if you want to "go fast", I Wanna go Fast!

That might be true for some folks, but probably not for most... I love the sound and the power gain, and I couldn't care less what other people think. If I wanted more attention I would've kept the Porsche.

The power gains by swapping exhaust alone are negligable. And certainly if you compare a quiet quality aftermarket exhaust to a loud one, I'd say the power gains are not noticable at all. There are many quality aftermarket systems that aren't illegally loud.

There's more advantage in weight savings by going to an aftermarket exhaust (from stock) than there is in power advantage.

A full exhaust (including x-pipe) will give you a pretty substantial power gain.

They had an all points bulletin on the OP's car,Be on the look out for a Black M3 with annoying drone terrorizing the neighborhood.

hpowders · 12-17-2010, 03:29 PM

That other stuff was just hearsay. He ought to know better.

Um its as quiet as it can be!

Its probably engine noise youre hearing!

listerone · 12-17-2010, 03:37 PM

There are plenty of things cops aren't allowed to do but following someone ain't one of them.Add to that the fact that all states have noise limits for automobiles and the only question one can ask is...."is the exhaust too loud under applicable laws?"

**Jameson@Alpine** · 03-12-2011, 02:39 AM

i know that exhaust..... it wasnt loud

JayhawkM3 · 03-12-2011, 10:59 AM

I'm sorry but unless you are driving a pro street dragster... no ticket is going to stand without a decibel meter. This is coming from someone who has been a cop. A lawyer would have a field day, the reason law enforcement has the meters is so they can accurately say your car exceeded the legal level.

On to the following, totally legal.

The cop does need a reason to pull you over, but the "talking to" was bull. He can in no way prove you were the car in question. If it continues to be a problem talk to internal affairs at the police department.
