Thats one reason I left...

 

I would file a complaint with his Sarg. and Lt. this is an obvious case of harassment. Don't sit on this....file the complaint!?!?!?

 

FYI, to anyone interested..........

LeanerJoe, by the LAW here, i dont have a case! it SUCKS!!!

 

dude, f that. KEEP IT! go tell his boss he's harrassing you. tell him the cop asked if he could call you when he's off duty.

 

I can only think of keeping copies of your tickets, I would think 5 to 10 tickets from the same cop would warrant harassment. You would probably have to file a civil law suit on this one. However, like everyone suggested, file a complaint report and stable copies of all the tickets, before taking any legal action.

An alternative is finding a certified shop/police department to do a dB test on the stock and injen exhaust . I would think that injen would have a slightly higher tone and you wouldn't have much ammo in keeping that exhaust on.

 

Yep....I hate this f***ing state. I got an "improper exhaust" ticket too with my last car. Just a bunch of BS. Anyways, your best bet is to do what you were planning on doing, sell your injen and get a more quiet exhaust. Now, how much will you be asking for it? ( I might want it )

Cops should be catching criminals in stead of wasting time on some nonsense exhaust issues. Maybe next time buy him a box of doughnuts LOL

 

Yep, same thing happened up here in Reston, VA, my wife was pulled over in our 3.5 Altima with Stillen exhaust. Cop said the exhaust wasn't legal for street use and wanted to know if someone else installed it, she explained that I installed it, that we've never been pulled over before for this problem and in fact our Nissan Dealership sells Altimas right off the showroom floor with Stillen Exhausts, Intakes and huge Stillen logos (Mike Pallone Nissan). The cop seemed baffeled that she knew so much and told her to look into it further and let her go...she called Stillen the same night and they said that our combination of Injen CAI and Stillen exhaust was not loud enough to exceed VA state db limits (but Stillen Headers, race pipe and Exhaust would be illegal) they have all the db charts on file and will send them if needed for court....no need now, but we could get pulled over again, so we're prepared!

 

O yeah, also, she told the cop that the car had just passed VA state emissions testing and safety two weeks prior, the cop was speechless and then tried to say that means nothing...even though the receipt they give you after you pass has a VA STATE POLICE logo on the top of it...can you get anymore inconsistent.

 

This is why I like my Magnaflow. Looks like stock at a glance.

 

Yup, your TOTALY correct. All these harley guys make their bikes so rediculously loud that i hear them from a mile away but cops and harley owners are one and the same so they let it slide.

 

That's quite a system down there in VB, when a cop's ears determine the decibel limit. Can they give you a speeding ticket because you looked like you were traveling too fast?

 

yea, its ALL MESSED UP here! i looked through the books, there is NO db limit here though? it only states "louder than factory" is illegal. you never see the mustang guys on the side of the road for it though. stock for stock those are MUCH louder!?!? i have always liked the look of the nismo exhaust. i just hate to give up the sound, looks, weight, and PERFORMANCE of my injen!!!

 

Keep your exhaust, just take it off and put a different one on for awhile. Later, when you are not in his sights anymore, reinstall.

 

Maybe Robert E. Lee was right?

Do you have any pictures of this exhaust?

 

Go to your local performance shop and get some silencers. You won't have to change your exhaust, and it will keep down the noise. Just ask the guy who works there to help you find the right size.

 

Our cops are a$$h@les too but this is dumb...well I can't say I'm any better since I did a burnout right next to a cop and he just flashed his lights at me
