Got pulled over by a chp, he said that my exhaust was too loud. I don’t have straight pipes I have a tubi exhaust. Then he said he wanted to see under the hood to see if everything was legitimate. Is that even legal, then he started walking to the front of the car as he was ordering me to pop the hood. The look on his face was priceless when he didn’t see the engine in the front, so I get out of the car and take him to the back. After staring at the engine for about 30 seconds he say’s “everything look’s in order back here”. Then proceeds to give me a ticket for the exhaust, windows being tinted, and no front license plate. What a ****ty start to a day.

 

sorry to hear about your bad luck...I'm sure he was pissed that you moved the engine

 

That part is funny! Sorry about the ticket.

If I practiced in Cali I would love to fight this ticket and subpoena the cop. I would then grill (cross examine) the **** out him about were the engine was/is located

 

HA HA! Like he would know it was modified! If you had a jet engine in there, he wouldnt know it!

 

Do you think I should fight it or just pay the fines and move on?

 

been driving my TT with straight pipes on it for many years on the street and never got stopped
did get a ticket for the window tint however

 

I would do trial by written declaration. I have done this 3 times and was successful 2 of them.

 

got stopped for having my snow chaines on the front tires of a 68 eldo(front wheel dr) that was in 70 and front wheel drive cars were brand new.... u shouda told him your car was really loud when the engine was in the front so u moved it to the rear

 

lol.

 

Fight!

 

That is a great story with a sad ending. I would fight it because the cop was such an ***.

 

Classic story about the engine!!

 

Move to Kentucky. As long as your car is not on fire, you are gold.

 

I'm sorry about the ticket but the part about the engine is just too funny. Would have made a great America's Funniest Home Video. Could you have a decibel level performed on the exhaust and see if exceeds the state defined limit?
