This is some of the worst advice I've ever heard. Especially for someone that lives in CA. They're already looking for him. If he ignores the ticket it will become a warrant and getting arrested over an exhaust he KNEW didn't meet CA's noise limit laws is just plain stupid. If it's legal, take it to a referee station and have it measured. If it passes, keep the certificate in your glove box. If not, well, you knew that going in and you can't really bitch about it. |

Then there's the removal of the secondary cats which is another illegal move in CA. The car wouldn't even pass the visual portion of the smog check. Really, the OP has NOTHING to complain about here. |

It's a fix it ticket. No big deal. And the cop dropped his other ticket because the car is so loud it could hardly be ignored. Sure he's been looking for you--you and anyone else that sticks out in a crowd. (Number on rule of not getting picked off is not to stand out....)
If this thing can meet noise regs for CA, just go to the referee station (as QS pointed out) and get it signed off. If not, fix it, and get it signed off. No different than a fix it for tint, or front plates, or whatever. |

Wow, there is some really really bad advice on here. lol. I like the guy who said its profiling...really. Let me think, there have been NUMEROUS complaints to the police about a loud black BMW. He then is standing outside giving a ticket as a LOUD BLACK BMW drives by..Yeah thats profiling. lol. Come on. As for "they cant follow you". They will follow you where ever they so feel fit. Its their jurisdiction they will go where ever when ever they want. If you recall, in the other thread, I did call the neighbors idiots for writing the notes. However, the cop was just doing his duty. Keeping the peace as many of complained.

The illegal kind.
Actually, he selling -> http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=465720 OP, getting pulled over for doing something illegal isn't harassment - it's called breaking the law and getting caught. Get your exhaust to a legal noise level, and drive 25mph through your neighborhood. If you are still getting flack from the neighbors and cops, then you have a case for harassment and could look at exploring legal options. Until you are legal though, you've got no leg to stand on. As things stand you are at douche status and realistically you kind of are terrorizing the neighborhood. |

2. It's hearsay. A cops job is to be nosy and get into people's business. He could have made your day much worse. If he wanted to, he could have towed your car declaring it as an unsafe vehicle. Cops have all the power in that moment when they pull you over. Best thing to do is just to hear what they have to say and let it be. |

Good for OP for getting rid of the illegal exhaust. Those who think that ear-piercing loud shit is "cool" are penis-envying douchebags...
