Evening guys! I have a 92" s13 coupe m/t. My exhaust is not stock but it's not loud. My s13's body is stock but my wheels are wide. I know my rights. I don't drive like a jack ass or a ricer and that's hard to do with a slow and tired KA24DE engine. I never get pulled over. Oh and I am MP who works traffic meaning I write lots of citations for mostly speeding and I investigate traffic accidents. What gets my attention the most is failing to use turn signals, trailing or lead vehicles traveling at a high rate of speed. Does that tell you to travel in packs? Lastly, what gets my attention the most is really loud exhaust. Be courteous when you drive, obey the traffic laws, and don't race on public roads.

Like I said, most of those were when the car was new and i hadnt even been to the track yet. When the car was at its worse, i was in LA, and never got a ticket. And with the newer shell and cage in LA, they dont care. They only pull you over to harass you here. alot of times they let me go as soon as they realize i am 36, and i drop something about going to work at whichever studio i am working at. They usually ask if Im on probation, so that goes to show who they thought they were pulling over, cause im sure they arent asking soccer moms that shit. and burbank doesnt sign tickets off, the highway patrol does. I once got a ticket by burbank PD on the corner of the courthouse at 7am for a muffler i had signed off at 3pm the day earlier. They sat there with me, popped the hood, and wasted 30 minutes to make sure i would be late to have the previous ticket signed off in court. Of course, after court, i went straight to the Police station, got their watch captain and filed a complaint against the officers involved. Went to the state patrol and had him sign the new one off and he asked what happened on recognizing my car. The look of disgust he had for those officers, lol |

I would say from my experiance your better off with the stock look, but exhaust is what gets their attention without even having to see you. I thought I had been pulled over alot but now that I think about it I daily drove my s14 kitted lowered with 3in exhaust for about 2 1/2 year and I've only been pulled over around 3 or 4 times but I also drive like a grandma cas I don't want anymore tickets.
Not just that it depends on the cop, some cops just look for those whom are breaking the law others are just itching to hand out tickets. |

street exhaust
Quote:
you sir, are a G. thats how you stick it back to the man!! OP, i think your question is something you can answer for yourself. I mean if your car is clean out and in you wont have problems if you put a street exhaust on your car. When I had a busty DD hatch beater, I got 5 tickets in 8 months, all fix it small waste my time tickets. I've had a clean ass coupe for 3 years now, only got one ticket cause i did an illegal u turn over here in the SFV. I'd say you're gonna be fine they have bigger fish to fry. |

This is why im glad i dont live in CA. FL, at least around me, is super laid back about this stuff. No emissions testing, and most cops are worried more about people breaking laws that can hurt people.
I've driven around with no bumper, hood, or fenders for a day or two with no issues. |

Kind of ironic since everyone I see at the local track for test and tune is riding up with brand new F150s towing their "tuner cars" to the track to play....mostly extremely rich guys who I see at car club. |

Whats funny = Im about 165lbs, 6'1", white and i think im pretty damn skinny for my height. I guess with our height someone (white person) would have to be about 150lbs to look like a meth head. Hahahaha.

ive only been pulled over twice in owning my s13 for a year. both were nothing big. once was before the silvia conversion and paint. pulled over for exhaust coming home from snowboarding. cop was chill and let me go.
and i was pulled over last week on the palisades parkway by a state trooper. asks me if i know who he is. i said no. then says i know you.... i live 4 houses down from you. i was like he just said to drive quieter around the neighborhood and let me go. i have an sr20 with straight pipes, bright red paint, slammed, flush wheels, but cops dont pull me over. because i drive like an adult, and keep the fun to the track and back roads |

I've gotten pulled in my silver/stock em2 more than my red and no where near stock s13. Matter of fact, just last week I was pulled over with my hood up (leaking coolant and 100*+ temps don't mix) and the police chief stopped and asked if I was ok. The dude even went and got me a bucket of water and helped poor it in. All the while my sr20 was right in front of him and he never said a word.
Another time, a cop that followed me home and called me over to his car once I was parked in the garage. He asked me about my exhaust because he liked the way it sounded and was looking for an exhaust for his speed3. Of course I neglected to mention is was catless.

I don't really get pulled over EVER. The last time i got pulled over was for the cop being a dickbag. Guy told me i had too many stickers on my car and it was obstructing my view. I have blast pipes on the RB in my car and they don't bother me for that. Drive sensible, they'll leave you alone.

Lets just hypothetically say, you went and practiced on the streets, cop around the corner, boom... busted. How much do you think thats going to cost you, reckless driving, modified car, impound fees, lawyer fees, bail (unless you get a cool cop), etc etc... Couple grand easily. Vs, Taking it to the track for $100, find a friend with a truck and rent the uhaul trailer (pretty cheap)... You dont have to worry about getting caught. Some people are just stupid. I dont care if you slide on the streets, just dont post about it, because your going to get pinked if a mod sees it, and it makes you look like just another d-bag that gives drifting a bad name. That is all. Last edited by xoxide; 09-23-2012 at 08:31 PM.. |

Yep the only imports they might profiling are the ones that look sketch and sound like shit. (Read different color body panels, straight pipes, hondas with shitty exhaust, etc)

I dont think cops care that much about what you drive unless it looks like shit or like it is not meant to be driven on the street. I ran into some ahole today in an m3.....this guy deserves the douchebag of the year award. We are both pumping gas and he pulls out his golf stick out of his trunk and starts practicing his swings. I leave and i see him runnin into his car - mind you he is some 45+ white dude. I pull out of the station and get up to speed kind of quick because cars are coming at me, wel the ahole races after me and flys by me like a bat out of hell. Who do you think a cop is gonna pull over? A guy in a 240 doing 35mph or an ahole in his m3 going 65mph?
Like ive said before if you drive like an idiot you will get pulled over and get tickets up the ying yang. If you drive like the average person on the road why would a cop pull you over? Unless your ricer car has loud exhaust or is so damn low its throwing sparks.... |
