My car is lowered and is currently on stockies. My vs-xx are getting redone. I think what may have caused the whole thing is not having a front plate. He even told my gf to pop the hood and get out of the car. First off, i dont even think he knows wtf he is looking at and our engine bay is covered by plastic lol and 2nd, my gf is a damn nurse in her scrubs going to work!!!!!!!!!!!! this happened a block away from home, 5 minutes after she left the gates lol

CHP must have been having a bad day. you should just keep the carb #'s in the glove box to show its legal. i swear some cops just really have nothing better to do.

I'm not sure what the sound dBa measurement of f-sport exhaust, but according to what I found is that.

"(1) Sound Level Limit. The exhaust noise shall not exceed 95 dB(A).

This is very straightforward and should leave nothing to interpretation.

(2) Exemption. The exhaust noise of vehicles manufactured after 1967 may exceed 95 dB(A) if the replacement parts are no louder than the original equipment or "factory duplicate" system and the total sound level of the vehicle when tested in accordance with Sections 1040 through 1049 of this title complies with the limits in Vehicle Code Section 27205 for the year of manufacture of that vehicle.

This has been an attempt to clarify California Vehicle Code 27151 for many people who do not have an adequate understanding of this code. Bob's Muffler does not guarantee favorable results in defending one's self against a noise ticket since extenuating circumstances can affect the outcome in any court. Also keep in mind that it is your right to apply for an appeal.

Don't pop the hood if you are pulled over. Just like any other type of vehicle search, you have the right to refuse it. If they ask, say, "if you are not detaining me, I would like to be on my way." Odds of them getting a warrant to make you pop the hood are slim.

Damn bro! That's harsh. CHP is really cracking down, but on an F-sport?

CHP wasn't kidding on the crack downs! They been out full force lately, especially at night. Seen too many driving back from places after 10pm. Always seem to have the modified cars pulled over too.

Did you get a card like this? I keep this in my car in case I get pulled over for my Ltuned exhaust.
