I was pulled for my exhaust around 10 times, never ticked though. 4 times by the same cop, he must not have remembered me or something. my 240 idles pretty loud and was pulled 2 of those times from just idling, not the stereotypical raspy annoying loud but the throaty loud.

 

i just got a tiket and he said anything aftermarket is illigal, i tried to b/s and tell how my car is registered and inspected in north carolina but damn virginia and its common wealth........

 

that shit doesn't matter.

when you enter a state, you're subject to it's rules.

 

a buddy of mine got pulled for a nismo exhaust that came stock from the dealership...

 

I gotta say that there is a double standard on imports and domestics. I had 429 in a 72 gran torino with absolutely no exhaust, as in, straight outta the manifolds, and had a few cops pull behind me and just go right on what they were doing. I guess its that imports are not naturally loud, whereas, It's understandable if a 7.0 liter engine is making some noise. Just a thought.

 

also if the car is over 20 yrs old...it is considered a classic...and those rules do not apply

 

guess i should kept the cougar then...no exhaust tickets lol oh well

 

I can see if you moved into the state, but why should someone have to replace their exhaust just to come into a state for an hour? Just seems pretty damn stupid to me. Although some cops will let you go, they can technically still ticket you.

And yes, ANYTHING done to a car in a way that is not stock, is illegal. Gay, but true.

Edit: And yes, exhaust laws do not apply to domestics.

 

Ya its all bs. I got pulled for speeding on the interstate and then the cop gave me another ticket for my exhaust.

 

Anything different from stock is illegal in the state of va, trucks and motorcycles go under a different law so you can bring that up, i already tried.
