as long as u dont do anything stupid and attract cops to do so, then you should be all good...
Fremont and Milpitas is kind of a scary area since they crack down on illegal swaps, super slammed, loud exhausts, etc....They know what to look for... San Jose, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Sunnyvale area, cops dont really care and wont pull you over often as Milpitas/Fremont... just dont do anything stupid and play it safe... |

Too bad your car is red... I drive past cops all the time and they don't even flinch... but then my s14 is black... BUT I do try to stay out of Union City, Hayward, Milpitas, and especially FREMONT!!!
Heartwork is right about the ok cops... even the CHP's are cool as long as you're not breaking any moving rules. Just some advice... stay in the slow lane or the lane next to it, drive the speed limit and you "should" be ok.

i've had my red car with exhaust just under a year and i've been pulled over once by chp, in the unincorporated area between hayward and san leandro, and he let me go. i live in hayward and go to union city frequently, fremont sometimes and had no problems there.

I live pretty much in the middle between San Francisco and San Jose. I've been stopped by the cops five times, once a week, in the last month. :hammer: Last i've gotten pulled over was last saturday. I've got exhaust but everything else looks stock. 4 of the 5 times were CHP, they pull me over because of no front license plate...which i gotta take care of now cuz of a fix-it ticket.
Anyway, basically try to keep the rev's low so it won't be so loud...go speed limit, and uhm basically don't act suspicious. i drive a black s13. it's not even slammed. One of the CHP's stopped me cuz of loud exhaust. He said "You cannot modify your exhaust!" I'm like "uhm? I can't modify my exhaust..?" "NO! It MUST be stock." "uhh..." Then he asked if I still had my cat converter, asked me twice...then he ended up saying "happy birthday, later dude" and walked off and drove by hella fast. (it wasn't even my birthday..) but yeah, silly cops.. wasting both our time Last edited by Pepperoni; 09-26-2003 at 07:18 PM.. |

Its a good thing about champagne gold, NO COP ever bothers pulling me over. I could be drive from here to Florida like Tony Montana with a mountain of coke in the back and never even get looked at.

oh, but then again, I have a silencer and my front license plate is intact. Maybe that's the key |

Ummmmmmmmmmmm..........Yeah california sucks doesn't it?
If you get pulled over, know your rights man. If he tries to look under your hood (search/illegal search) just tell him "I'd rather you not, it's my dads car" and that means you said "No" to his search. And if he pressures you, ask him how this would stand up in court if you told your "lawyer" about it. Usually they back away because you can pin them for harassment. It's simple. If you know how to get out of a cop searching your car for weed, you can do it for him searching for the swap. That's so rediculous how bad it is out there. They way we tell if it's safe to drive some where on the east, is when you're driving through the place and how ever many cops are there. But they only want you for speeding, and they couldn't care less. (but yes some have gotten harassed about fart cans) GOOD LUCK!
