I was pulled over for doing a heel-toe downshift, the officers said that i had accelerated when i passed them. I saw you coming out of the parking lot why would accelerate after i seeing you. They asked for my drivers license and the works.

The partner then started asking questions about the car. Weight, do you track, HP, ect. (nice guy) then Mr. uptight asked if i had done any mods. I think for a sec, i think i should be truthful so I tell them i have a aftermarket exhaust. He then goes on to say its illegal and you can't just go around changing exhaust because you want it to be louder.

Back to his partner he then asks me where do you store all your stuff, I chuckle and pop the boot, make a joke about its a great grocery getter. He then spots my plate in the back, I tell them the car does not come with the bracket for the plate attached and i haven't had a chance to go to the dealer to have them drill the fiberglass. I tell them I don't know how to work fiberglass and don't want to screw up a 70k car.

I then see out the corner of my eye the other cop tries to hand over my info to the other officer and he declines (whew I know I'm off the hook). He tells me to stop driving like a jackass and lets me go.

First time I've been let off being pulled over. From what I have heard when you get refereed for an exhaust just put the stocker back on and have it inspected. You can try and get inspected with your current exhaust and see if they let that pass, I highly doubt that they will know what is stock and what isn't. I can't lie about my setup because "MAGNAFLOW" is written on my muffler, kinda hard to pass that off as stock.

Good luck to you.
