Here is where I can chime in. Keep in mind these are things I have witnessed and heard of from the people involved.
Theres a group of spoiled rich Indian kids at my highschool. They arent car enthusiasts no matter how much wikipedia can tell them. Anyways, all of them thought it would be cool to dick ride each other so the 3 of them got G35's for their first cars. This is where the stupidity begins. They all think its cool to do donuts at business parks and what not, so thats what they did the first 2 months they had them. One of them ended up blowing his engine, so he bought another G35 (Isnt it great to be spoiled?) Eventually that kid that got another one, go his car impounded. So he gets a S2K. Guess what? In the first week he gets a ticket for burning out (its stock but he doesnt think so) What happens next week? He is going 100 in a 45 and a cop puts on his lights to pull him over. He thinks his car has a million horsepower and he is in Need For Speed so he tries to outrun them. In a stock S2K. Against a Supercharged Crown Vic. Now his license is suspended for a year, and his car is impounded. Again. Long story short, if you dont drive like its Fast & Furious and think youre the shit, you should be fine.

got pulled over in this, a stock ass ae72 corolla once for my shitty dual-tip no-name not-even-loud exhaust, got my hood popped (had a 4ac, weber carb, with all smog components removed) cop threatened to take me to the ref, all with my bro, sis, and mom in the car, in thousand oaks. but eventually let me go.
another for overtaking a truck by doing 55 in a 35 ended up getting a $400 speeding ticket in thousand oaks. third for the same exhaust in reseda, let off with a warning. a fourth time for going 75 while drizzling and ended up getting a fix it ticket for the same exhaust, on the 101 passing calabasas at 1am with no other cars on the road. and once in this: a couple of days after i bought it cause my paper work didnt show up after they ran my plates since i just did it the day before. officer told me "why do you have a lowered car? the ride must be shitty" in north hills, but they just let me go. and not once during the process of becoming this: drove it with no headlights, no bumper, primered hood with sanded spots, mismatched fenders and wheels all at one point and never got pulled over. i sometimes sparked from being so low, and even took out some road reflectors. i think it depends on how you look. how you drive. and the area youre in. and your luck. haha |

You see low slung exotic cars like Lambos and Ferraris, but do they ever get pulled over for being too low, no. Why are normal cars any different? What's the difference between a open wastegate and straight pipes on the highway vs a screaming V8? Both are equally as loud but I don't see muscle cars getting crap for being loud. Sometimes the differences just annoy me.

I've never got pulled over in my sr coupe just because! I've only had my sr vert for 3 months and cops don't even mind me!!! I think it's really the way you drive! If your going to daily with illegal mods at least make sure you drive normally!

I drove a stroker evo with test pipes and full 3" exhaust and an open dump here in San Francisco. Drove by cops every day. There's even a police station at the local mall that I frequent. Didn't get bothered once. Follow the speed limit, don't drive like a jackass, and you decrease your chances of getting pulled over by a shit load. I've seen dumbasses here with 240s that blast by cops with their exhaust like they don't give a fuck. After the cop lights them up I'm sure they say "omg guyz i got pulled over". Well no shit, you have a loud exhaust that smell strongly of gas, and blasted by that cop that was obviously right there. I wonder why you got pulled over? I guess driving responsibly is impossible for all the 16 year old high school freshmen getting these cars.

oh, and if you live in california and get hassled for the "no front plate" do this.
get one of those chunky license plate brackets like so put your license plate on it with 2 screws. like so put the bracket and plate on the ground and SMASH it with a hammer until it looks like someone backed into you and rendered the bracket unusable. remove "one" screw to make it look less usable. throw it in the dirt to make it look more rugged and hardcore. (yeahhhhhhh) toss it in your trunk along with the other chunks of plastic that flew off. If cops ask you why you don't have a front plate. you: Sorry officer, some idiot yesterday backed into me and completely destroyed my front bracket. cop: prove it. you: *pop trunk* see officer. The plate is bent and the bracket is unusable. it would be unsafe to mount. cop: thats unfortunate. try and get it repaired as soon as you can. have a good day. and for all the kids with these cars. it would help if you weren't high on weed when you got pulled over. Nomsayin?

I used to get pulled over in my coupe all the time when I had my hks exhaust. Swapped the muffler out for a vibrant dual tip and haven't been pulled over since. It is funny because I think my set up now is much louder.

Background:
I drive like I'm driving miss daisy 90%+ of the time. I basically drive at the speed limit, use my signals, obey all traffic laws, and most of my driving is simply to and from work in rush hour. Today I decided to stop by the mall after work. Well, as I'm waiting to turn left at the light entering the mall parking area, a cop pulls up behind me. I turn left when the light turns green, and as I'm winding through the mall lot looking for a good place to park, the blue lights come on. Long story short, the she-cop tells me she has notes in her system that I've been warned before about my smoked tails. She gets my license and insurance and comes back with two tickets: 1. Offense - taillights: 40-8-23(A) - tail light covers are not gdot approved 2. Offense - exhaust system - penalty for violation: 40-8-71 - vehicle blowing excessive smoke Now IMO this is the typical bs revenue generating force at work. How many actual crimes were going on while I was pulled over? Now here comes my defense: I've had these tails on the car FOR YEARS. All of a sudden now it's important enough to pull me over for, right? I was pulled over one time last year (also in Alpharetta) and the officer said my tails were dim but that my brake lights were too bright. (wtf?!) He really didn't give a shit, as again I feel like he pulled me over bc of the car. Apparently he wrote something in the copcarputer that he warned me. :/ I overfilled my car by 1.5qts of oil last time I added it. Yes, there is a little (LITTLE) bit of smoke randomly - usually after I've been driving for a while and then stop at a light then pull off again. It's really minor, but whatever. I don't even have emissions in my county so pfft. Anyway, I've been pulled over 6x in a 4 month period a while back - all by the same cop, and all within a mile of my work. It's all been clearly profiling. They usually just check my license and insurance and let me go. Sometimes I'd get told that my tint was too dark (it's legal limit) and then they check it and say nm. Usually though, they dont give a reason for pulling me over. The last time, I got irate and told him I pay his salary with my taxes and that he was profiling me and that I was sick of being harassed. He got mad and wrote me a ticket for a 'dirty license plate,' After that, I didn't get pulled over for like a year. But now I've gotten pulled over 3x recently. I really feel like its because I work in a Latino area, and although I'm not Latino, I suppose I must look like I am to these cops or my car looks 'Mexi' to them. And the time before this, when I got pulled over in Avondale Estates, the cop was harassing me so bad - he searched my person 2x and literally squeezed my balls both times. He was up in my face asking why my eyes were half shut (I'm half Asian and it was 1am) - yelling so much his spit was flying out of his mouth into my face. He got pissed off and told me to not back away and not to lean on my car. So apparently I'm supposed to stand there and have this dick cop yell in my face 2" away with his spit flying and not lean on my own car? :/ When all was said and done, I didn't get so much as a warning. But when I said there was no reason to search me or even pull me over, he started saying he was going to write me tickets for exhaust and crossing over the yellow line, and car too low... He was literally just making up offenses that I hadn't done! I had to start saying 'yes sir' a bunch of times to avoid more harassment because basically it wasn't going to get any better. He was just itching to put me in the back of his car for any excuse he could come up with. Even the other cop that came as backup was looking freaked out at how far over the line this guy was. :/ Now here's a pic of the offensive daily driver: I'm sure there are some good cops out there, but I just haven't encountered any in a long long time. |

Got profiled and pulled over in this leaving a friends house with a group of cars late at night in his neighborhood, not even a block from where we left, cop pulls my car over. What sucks was I let a friend drive it while I was in his car. and when the cops pulled him over, the turbo timer was set, so they bitched at that and made him throw the keys out of the car. Sadly they struck gold as I had black top sr20, fmic and all that. Asked to pop hood and got a ref ticket.
2nd time, car was very clean and nice, no decals or loud exhaust. I was speeding around a corner, and got pulled over. and got my hood popped. Ref ticket. RX7 I got pulled over once, blasting down a freeway on-ramp. Got let go and no thoughts of popping my hood. When your car is clean, solid one color, matching wheels, no super loud exhaust, front license plate (I like front plates, i dont think they look bad) you won't get much trouble. If you have stupid blast pipes, decals all over your windows, mismatch wheels , crap hanging from your tow hooks etc, than you will get attention. Race still plays a big issue too.

^ that turbo timer thing sucks. Whered you have it at? When I had my evo, it was on the mini glovebox by my left knee. So I could hit the manual shutoff.

Some cops are cool and some cops are bored and just looking for a reason to give someone a ticket. Chances are if your driving a ricer looking car thats loud your gonna get pulled over at one point or the other. With that being said if you dont get pulled over for speeding or doing something stupid they probably arent going to give you a citation. So yes you will probably get pulled over more with a bodykit, but consequences wont be too bad.
