CHP pulled me over in the middle of town. He stated that I had modified exhaust of course he didn't believe me that it is bone stock. I was totally honest with him and showed him that my PP2 comes with adjustable exhaust from the factory. He said the referee will need to be the judge of that.

To make it worse he says "I know you were racing but I just can't prove it".

Referees like polite and educated people. Go prepared with factory documents and brochures etc....
Must be tough living in Cali

I'm trying to get the dealer to do an inspection of the exhaust tomorrow.

California must be an awesome place if the most constructive thing the cops have to do is write tickets for Loud noises.

Reads: California must be broke as hell if they are taxing the sweet sound of brand new American V8.

Wish you the best of luck fighting this.

What mode was the exhaust in when he popped you?

With all the new noise laws in the USA & abroad I wonder if the active exhaust option will be a thing of the past soon....

And this is why I am afraid to drive my GT anywhere now and I actually have a modified exhaust.

Did you get ticketed? If so, did you get a court date? What is your recourse?

For a couple years I had an LSX 454 Vette with a huge cam, AR headers, no cats and mufflers in name only. My trouble avoidance method was: See Cop = push clutch pedal and retract right foot = no problems.

Only reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on a H-Pipe for my SNEK.

Last week, was getting off an offramp out in the SCV and CHP had pulled over someone and was about 100 yards to my right. He looked straight at me as I cruised by, (was in loud mode) I was pulling into a parking lot right across from him for my doctors appointment. When I left 45 minutes later, he was still there and looked at me again as I was pulling out of the driveway. This time I was on quiet mode and he had a perplexed look on his face as I got back on the on-ramp.
