For All CA Peeps no Ref Services or CAP

Yeah at least the CHP guy that pulled me over didnt bother popping the hood. He cooled off when I showed him military ID and told him I was just killing time before heading to OCS in a month. Then he just gave me a pep talk and sent me on my way. As long as you are courteous and havent done something completely bananas, they are usually nice enough back.

-A week later for tint again in Hollywood (didnt have the previous ticket with me because Im dumb, so got another one)
-Unsafe turn... Apparently taking a left hander at 35 is unsafe even though the car was never in jeopardy of hitting anything and there was nobody else in the intersection and I had a green arrow.
-Pulled me over because he thought my exhaust looked illegal (I just had a 350Z tip on a stock muffler... dumbass).


Once I sold the S13, I got a Jaguar X Type AWD. Its faster, more comfortable, more reliable, and I could be doing 100mph on the freeway while snorting coke off a hooker's ass and cops still dont give a shit about pulling me over.

Long story short. Get a daily driver thats not an S chassis. Then you can build your S chassis any way you want and beat the shit out of it on the track whenever you want. Stay off their radar if you dont want to be fucked with.

DD helps you not have to deal with cops. But when they do pull you over, they should have nothing on you. Unless you deserve a ticket for whatever.

I was pulled over infront of my house while driving home in my e500.

Cop couldn't do anything because I had/did nothing illegal.

I do not think cat backs are illegal as they have nothing to do with emission, only noise reduction. The cat is what help with emission, anything after that would only affect noise level. Think of all the midas/magnaflow/flowmaster/aftermarket exhaust out there.

If they were truely illegal and I was a cop trying to make money. I'll just walk around n probably give like 2 out of 5 cars a ticket.

I've had a fc and that isn't the case. They know their stuff also. Though you can run a better turbo and fly under their radar easily.

I only shot flames when I am on it. If you're driving normal, no flames should be coming out.

The way the law is written, a cop COULD ticket any car with an exhaust made by a muffler shop or performance shop. They just don't. They use it as a reason to pop your hood for the most part.

The guy was a ticket nazi too, made him pop the hood even though the car was all stock, save for a quiet catback (s13). Then was like "you're a good boy for not modifying this intake". ...........

I got a ticket for 4 over in my dd. Shit's gay.

Yeah, I've known a few people who got out of tickets due to being in the armed forces.
