A friend of mine (joebenz) just got pulled over twice in 24 hours for his exhaust. He has an Apexi Dunk on a 99 GSR (white).

I just put my RS*R exhaust on this weekend, and don't want to suffer the same fate so i'm worried. Any of you with aftermarket exhausts have any experiences?

i usually get pulled over for some other reason, then they ask about your exhaust. Youn shouldnt get pulled over for just your exhaust unless you do something out of the ordinary. Cops hust use it as an excuse to ask you if you have drugs or have been drinking.

you will be amaze at the amount of attention you get from the cops went you have a honda or acura. Its less stressful if you drive something not related it to that or a V8 ... They dont even look at V8's like camaros , mustangs , corvettes . hey even i would say SUV's and trucks ..

I got pulled over one for no front license plate. The cop (CHP) asked me to rev my exhaust which is an AVO turbo-back, hence I rev. it up to 3500 RPM. He said 'ok! good' and gave me a ticket for no front license plate which I paid $10 for it. Now this is a fun part, before he left, he quoted me "By the way, nice car you have there.". I guesses he's into car too but I'm not sure he knows about the EVO so.
I think the reason that I didn't get trouble with the exhaust is because the AVO looks stock and not loud until you WOT.
By the way, Huntington Beach Mits. installed the front plate for me free-of-charge. Kudo to the service manager there.
Just want to share my story with you guys. Have a nice day.

I got pulled over near Life Plaza for my exhaust. The exhaust wasn't too loud, but they asked me to pop my hood. Then they wrote me a ticket for my intake. :evil:

was it a city cop?

I thought only the CHP could make you open the hood for a road inspection?
