I agree with Nick.
"Enforcement will focus on what Mitchell calls âspeed racerâ cars, or small customized imports, and motorcycles in which owners have modified muffler pipes for a louder exhaust."
Speed Racer cars...hahahah
-
this is a bit hypocritical i think...first they say "Enforcement will focus on what Mitchell calls âspeed racerâ cars, or small customized imports"...then after Tufte states that they'll be looking after import cars because they have a younger crowd, they then say "Police donât intend to target young drivers. Instead, theyâll focus on responding to complaints to the department", Mitchell said...
What the fuck??? thats like saying yes we will, then when somebody says somthing about it, saying no all of a sudden...
Apparently, according to the forum, there are 50 year olds then that have fartcans on their "small customized imports" because remember, the cops aren't out to get the younger croud, but are looking for "small customized imports".....
I call bullshit on the cops on this one....
-
ill believe that theyre not just looking for sport compacts with mufflers when i see a harley or a muscle car pulled over.
-
that's retarded. they said they are targeting imports. now I'm not the biggest import fan, but, agree it's bullshit. It had better be across the board if they don't want to catch hell. I don't like loud pickups or cars when they drive by my apt at nights, so I shut my window. Imports are also gonna get screwed because very few people complain about domestics.
-
is it legal to ask who the complaintee(word?) is to see where we were, what time it happened etc? cause if so, who knows if the cops are just pullin us over saying " we got a complaint" figuring that we'll just pay the ticket and they be making the whole complaint part up just for the $.
-
I'm pretty sure that you can call things in anonymously and that they can then later assess if its necessary to give a ticket.
-
THE loudest things on the roads are those monster truck type things...
ALSO
Harley's and other bikes...
Even with no exhaust our cars aren't that loud...
So are they going to be pulling over ever car w/ a fart can now?
Nick's right though, they need to have some sort of system which will provide an actual dB number, like in other states, or else officers (who we all know already hate us), are going to be them dick selves and just do whatever the hell they want.
-
Good luck guys.
-
what about if people took out their cats, i hope they dont go searching under there now

I had a set of Supertraps on my other truck with a 429 under the hood and I got pulled over for load pipes...this was in the cities and the cop said I had to go to the cop shop..so I drove over there and they had me rev the motor( pipes loud as hell) and he said that he had to ticket me...then I pulled out the sticker that came with the supertraps that said legal in all 50 states and he let me go

Yeah you guys are screwed.
The number of loud exhausts that I saw in the F-M area was mostly pick-ups. The ratio of loud trucks to loud imports was around 5 to 1 but I saw no mention of loud pick-ups in the article.
"Enforcement will focus on what Mitchell calls âspeed racerâ cars, or small customized imports, and motorcycles in which owners have modified muffler pipes for a louder exhaust." You know because my Talon is so damn loud compared to a pick-up truck. This is indeed a bunch of bullshit. It is an excuse now for them to harass the import crowd.

I think a bigger problem than loud exhaust is the problem of people blowing through red lights and red arrows. Man...on 13th it is horrible. Two lights in a row I had a green light for 3 to 5 secs and people were still trying to get through even though their light was red. THAT is a major problem I think.
