Got stopped by CHP today with my 1 year old son in back. Said he noticed my exhaust was loud. I run dynatech LTs with HFs, no resonator, x-pipe and Flowmaster 50s. He ran his mirror under the car and spotted the LTs right away. He said he could impound my car, but since I had my kiddo with me he wasn't going to. He didn't even cite me. He told me he'd seen/heard my car around and he was sure that he would again, but next time I had better have something with an EO on there or stock. So it looks like I'll be taking them off this weekend and putting the stock manifolds back on until I can sell the LTs and find a set of shorties. Just wanted to let you guys know that they're watching- even when it doesn't seem like it. I've been running this setup for a year or so, but it's not really loud, but definitely very throaty. Good luck to everyone else who's been getting by like I had been.

Damn that sucks...just when I was looking into getting LTs myself. Seems like he was out to get you since he mentioned he had heard your car before.

H8S FORD · 09-19-2014, 07:24 PM

Could have been. I ran Borla ATAKs for a while in place of the FM50s, but I knew that would draw attention so I swapped them out to try and stay out of trouble. Just another day in Cali I guess.

you're lucky.. my 300c got refereed and impounded for LT's, cost me a lot to correct it..

I have Doug Thorley Shorty's on my car as of now...I've been told that they're now legal in CA? I just have to request a CARB STICKER from them....

Wanna move to Texas, just kidding. I don't mean to intrude, but I am just shocked they would take the hassle and useless amount of resources to impound a car for such a stupid, stupid reason!

No kidding! I love how everything is 49 state legal and we all (who live here) know that the 1 left out is us as soon as we see it.

How do you like the Thorleys? I was looking at the JBAs...

You're not intruding, we're all one big happy family here...

I think it costs more to live in Cali than Texas. At least "ya'll" have good scenery there and nice wide open roads!! Lol

Oh those little bastards are here too. But I must say you have NOOOOO idea how fun it is to pass all those priusssses with your lifted truck or suburban or camaro flooring it past them taking them one step back from "saving the earth". But I think here all they want in a Prius is better gas mileage... That's it! |

Because of the Prius Hybrids here in California, 1 good thing happened and the end result was predicted by my old man (Dad). The cost of gas went down for a little so now the good old corrupt politicians in Cali want to TAX everyone for EVERY MILE THEY DRIVE...I think this starts next year?

That's a bunch of crap! This state is beyond screwed up, and now I can understand why Mr Draper wanted "SIX California's". Heading home today from work, some dork in his Prius decided to block the two lanes on the street I was on by making an illegal u-turn.....I let him have it with the horn, but now my next mod is going to be a Train Horn.

I think we all hate pruisesssseses and yeah that battery is NOT bio degradable. Yup what pisses me off is when your on a 2 lane road stuck behind a group of cars riding each other's ass and going 57 in a 65 and led by what else... A Prius! Then you gotta put your life in danger to pass 3 cars at a time! Damn those things. If I was a cop I would stop them for holding up the flow of traffic!

Wait are train horns legal in Ca? There not down here!!!

CruisingSpeed · 09-20-2014, 12:34 AM

That's what he gets for driving like a moron. Exhaust sounds great btw

Damn, was that a black series? And to think I was going to buy a 2008 SL500 huh!

Yuuup and not those ricey fancy-toyotas, AKA Lexus!

I just don't like how they caught up to him. And when they turned their weee wooo weeee wooo lights off going about 100+ wasn't quite smart on their part.

This video is an AMG C63 Benz...honestly.....I saw one recently driven by a dude who had his resonator's deleted.....sounded awesome! Check this out SKIP TO 2:23 TO SEE CHASE...lol crazy stuff but THIS is the sound I love the most!

video looks like it is from a video game..

Have to say that is one thing I love with NPP that I can drive without hassle and then open it up when I want. Can you got a system with cut outs so your legal when you have to be and loud when you want?

I get the noise thing as we've got a few in the neighbour hood who feel it's the thing to do and rip around the residential area in the middle of the night. Pisses me off when I get woken up at 2:00am and got to go to work in the morning. Secretly I love the sound of some of these cars but these idiots ruin it for all if us.

Just a thought to look at some electric cut outs, might be a happy compromise.,
