Alot of this thread makes sense, alot of it doesn't..........what would be awesome, is if everyone could drive like a relatively normal person, and doesn't do anything that could make your exhaust be considered, loud and obtrusive......that simple, then we could prove a point.

Just my .02

You know. They shouldnt be able to pull us over for loud exhaust if they dont have a specific db level we cant go over. When shit like this is up to the "cops Disgression", they will hand out tickets left and right to us "speed racers" and non to the muscle cars or trucks. They really need a db limit here if they are goin to do this. Also, this is going to just get worse and they will probably be inspecting our cars for illegal items such as test pipes.

I also think that the police are not educated about the scene very well if at all. I think there needs to be some sort of a meeting with the police and some of the higher tuners(tufte, shane, caleb, and the older guys) to help educate them.

If you think the ticket is bullshit, take it to court and challenge it. Thats what the system is there for. What basis do you have for the claims that police officers are not educated about the scene? They get complaints about people driving like jackasses, and there are a lot of those people, so they have to respond.

All this shit about exhaust, and evertime I'm in west acres and happen by abercrombie & fitch I have to hear and smell the shit coming outta there! Now that's the real crime.

You know, one problem we have that is brought on by ourselves is this. We travel in packs. Its not that we have 1 car w/ an exhaust that drives by....we have 30-60 sometimes, I can see how this would get annoying to people

[harwood39]

I honestly dont think the Fargo PD is very informed about the import/tuner scene. To them we are just a bunch of ricers.

You've never been behind my car apparently. I'm sure Tufte or Nick Thompson will be happy to verify that statement. (my car registered a dB rating of 171.8 @ devils run last year:eek::eek:)

[PSI2HI]

Yeah, Chuck's car takes the cake by far, it's obnoxious.

[Guest]

Yet I don't get hassled except in devils lake....weird.

[integra_gsr98]

We accidentally got stuck behind chuck in the parade, and it was terrible.
Chuck has the worst sounding exhaust of all time.

chuck i followed you all the way to devils lake and i could hear it over my cars exhaust that echoed in the hatch...it made my ear numb by just following you!!

also know this. The typical "muscle car" guy that is spoken of is not young, he is an older guy. Older guys cause less problems. There are only a few of us that are actually young. We young guys know we do stupid shit. I'd have to complain about the profiling more than anything, I just don't like it. next thing you know, they are going to be kicking people out of the mall for having purple hair and getting thrown in the fountain by their friends. wait that did happen. To me. It is profiling, we all know it. Lets do something about it. there has been a lot of good advice on 3 different threads now. Let's work together, track it, then deal with it.

[cavalier_babe]

isn't profiling supposed to be illegal too? so much for that... and I know I've seen older people drive their muscle cars sometimes hot rodding around, but they won't get in trouble I'm sure, cause they aren't younger.. it's funny how they have to pick on a certain "group" with the exaust

You are already assuming the cops are profiling because of the term "speed racer". Before anybody accuses the cops of profiling we should give it time to see who gets pulled over and the circumstances.

Hell another month and most of our cars will put away for the winter.

BTW profiling isn't illegal, the FBI does it all the time.

God, I hate you.

[cavalier_babe]

hmm.. accounting on that you don't know me, you can't hate me....

and that is true, all the tuner's cars will be put away until spring anyway. so really, they prob won't nail too many people

[MisterCMK]

can I hate you?
