<![CDATA[Exhaust Ticket Response from Fargo PD]]>so me and a buddy were driving down 19th AV tonight, I was by the airport, and a cop came cruising up on me really fast and followed me until 45th before he pulled me over... and i was trying to keep it quiet like shifting below 2500 so the exhaust was not loud at all... he pulled me over and was like i pulled you over for your exhaust he said he could hear me from the airport and he was at university.... and we just asked him legitimate questions like whats the decibavel for exhaust and he said he didnt know... and he said it was raspy and crackly and it wasent it was a deep low tone... he gave me a fix it ticket and i told him i wasent going to fix it so he said he was just going to pull me over again sometime then i asked him if i got a silencer for it if that would work (for the fix it ticket then take it off)... and he said that would probably work...and like all the questions we asked them all they said was ohh i dont know im just doing my job we have just been getting allot of complaints lately... so the answer is I DONT KNOW IM JUST DOING MY JOB is all they can say. But i am going to contest this since they cant give me a straight answer.

Like it was stock STi exhaust? How the hell would a cop know its not stock? If I get pulled over and get a ticket im gonna make sure the cop knows that we live in ND and not California...

Unrelated note: One of my co-workers sons got pulled over in his wrx that had a Muscatell installed STi cat back because his car exhaust wasn't stock...had nothing to do with loud, it just wasn't stock. We'll see how this ticket plays out in court.

Well im screwed with my STOCK exhaust system. Its raspy and sharp at high rpms, it pops and cracks when I down shift or let off the gas at high rpms. And it even backfires sometimes... But there is nothing they can do because its STOCK.

I agree, there are more productive things they could do, BUT most are not trained to be full detectives. I personally think that Fargo has about 5 too many cops patrolling at any one given time, but being the conservative state that ND is, we like to give the appearance of safety and protection and therefore we pay our cops to issue traffic tickets.

Traffic cop? Fargo has police officers devoted to just traffic stops? That has to be the biggest waste of taxpayers money that there is.... Get them working on serious crime, hell even shoplifting, etc....

Aid to Africa... LOL

Oh, I agree with that whole heartedly, but that isn't the primary function of a traffic cop. What you described is more in lines with Detectives and DEA agents. The officers that we have patrolling fargo are probably not likely to be involved with a whole lot of drug busts unless it is in a moving vehicle. Yes, they may follow up on leads from the public, but in reality they don't have a clue what is really going on w/ drugs or whatever. Yeah, they know meth is bad. They might even know of a few users. However I doubt they know the bigger dealers/suppliers for the area.

The unfortunate part of policing the drug scene is that a lot of times the small time dealers are not arrested immediately when there is proof, they always want to wait for the major supplier...in the mean time there are more and more people getting hooked on this stuff because the known dealer isn't being stopped.

It's loud. I just don't want people to get tickets just because they have an exhaust and isn't loud.

maybe by spring the majority of this will have calmed down and be in the back of everyones mind.

what is a good exhaust that will sound good and be farely quiet, for my 240, but not be a total $$$ killer

Another thought....just a thought.....when a saleen mustang is built that exhaust is then factory from saleen. Chuck, you have a business, you can say that your car is the first TJamz subaru and therefore the exhaust is stock to that vehicle.

do they pull over every one that speeds? I am sure its not that big of a priority, it is just another excuse to pull you over/make quota
