michigan... I drive a haggard looking x8 cressida with a bunch of rust, no rear bumper, spraypaint, blast pipes, perpetually bald tires / belts showing, too much camber, too low, no cats, burns oil.
when it was stock-ish exhaust, never got pulled over. took the car off the road for a while, did rear arms, lowered it, cut the muffler that was on there off because it sat underneath the subframe and would have dragged once I got the car back together.
with 2.25" straight pipe, cut off just before the rear subframe, I got pulled over the night I got the car back together. I was running the japanese cresta center section between the rear tails, and moved the plate way down to the bottom of the rear panel and bent it up... didn't get around to moving the lights to illuminate it, though. so I got pulled over for "loud exhaust, no rear bumper, no plate lights, and a stupid custom plate that takes forever to run". let off with a warning.
after my birthday at the beginning of september, I took way too long to make it to the secretary of state to renew my license and registration. got pulled over the other day for expired tags and ridiculously loud exhaust (I replaced the 2.25" straight pipe that cut out under the car with 3" piping to ISIS blast pipes, and it honestly got a little louder), and my license was expired as well. warning for the other stuff, written for expired tags, which is a $125 civil infraction that carries no points. fixed that the next day, hopefully I can get it reduced or thrown out.
never had the car searched though, knock on wood.
