anything that is obvious such as pipe diameters and so fourth will be
a dead give away. I have gotten pulled over before in my Maxima for
"illegal" exhaust. It was pretty gaytarded, it was a cop in training so
I guess I was the guinea pig....................................joy.

same here. I did have a pig pull me over in my prelude for my mugen exhaust, which is very quite, after i informed him of the law he was supposted to be inforcing (here in GA, anything is fine as long as you have cats and its not over a certin decial level) he still tried to BS his way into giving it to me, i then informed the pig, that i would see his *** for sure in court, and asked for his badge number since he clearly had no idea WTF he was talking about.

Needless to say, he gave up and 'gave me a warning' for a law i didnt break

god i hate ****ing cops

2 tickets for exhaust here. Stay out of Fairfax area. Anywhere else they really won't bother you.

I know of 2 people that have gotten tickets for exhaust in VA. And they both had MD tags. I didn't think they could do that.

tickets for 35% tinting? maybe bc the 35% tint on top of stock = 33% or something? that sounds stupid.

I've had 30% since early July and no front plate since last summer, with no tickets (at least in regard to those matters )

i believe VA law is 50% on front and 35% on rear and back.
i had 35% all around and basically front is illegal...

NOVA SUCKS!! I have gotten over 8 tickets for exhaust, 4 for lowered car, and 3 for tinted windows. Granted it was a "Show Prelude" but I was always getting pulled over. Even once cause they thought I had a "BOMB" in my car lol. Damn Fairfax Co. Cops. - By the way Most of the tickets were given in Reston and Fairfax. Some near Herndon.
