has anyone been pulled over for having a "modified exhaust"......cuz i got pulled over last night and i live in tampa,fl n the cop told me its illegal to modify your exhaust in tha state of florida....so he gave me a 76 dollar ticket....wat do u guys think i should do go to court with it or pay tha ticket...let me kno.....
It was probably a young cop with a banana up his a$$ and a chip on his shoulder. Is that the only reason he pulled you over? In this state (Indiana) they can't pull you over for Exhaust or tint unless they have another reason. Like Speeding, running a light etc...
Also I never heard that a factory manufactured Catback is illegal. Maybe if you modify your stock exhaust and it no longer meets the pollution or sound levels of that state than Yes I can see him giving you a ticket.
Did you explain that this was an exhaust system especially manufactured for your vehicle which meets all state laws? He probably thought you just popped in a muffler than some larger pipes and maybe even dropped the Cat. I mean the Magnaflow Catback isn't that loud is it?
I would fight it and bring in the receipt showing it is legal in all 50 states :thumb:
