Default Pulled over because of exhaust!! HELPP plzzz

soo i was driving at 11:33 pm when a cop decides to pull me over. he told me he pulled me over because i had a modified exhaust. it wasnt stock. so i told him i had no clue it was really loud and that i have a silencer in the trunk i can put it on. He said "it doesnt matter , it is illegal to have a Non-stock muffler in the NEw YOrk State." SO i had no clue it was illegal to have a non-stock muffler on. also i bought this car from a dealer like amonth ago and they didnt tell me it was illegal to have this muffler on. The cop Said i either b Pleaded guilty or not guilty.On THE TICKET IT SAYS DESCRIPTION: LOUD MODIFIED EXHAUST Does any1 have and Advice on what to do plzzz. Thanks alot. this fcked up my whole night and everything =/

Here is the EXHAUST with the Silencer on which i didnt have on tonight.

pick up a stock muffler, put it on, defend your ticket saying you fixed it. Then afterwards, throw your, what looks to be like a loud piece of ****, back on.

**** these guys


get the stock cat off an rsx, put the type R exhaust on it, and get the muffler form the rsx. plenty of support for boltons, good sound, and looks stock.

**** spending 4-500 on a damn exhaust. the ITR exhaust is 2", the rsx muffler sounds awesome, and since the rsx has a 180+ stock motor, the cat will flow better then yours.

a little bit of ingenuity and some modification, you have OEM exhaust parts, better sound, and better flow

your exhaust in that picture looks pretty obvious that it isnt stock to anyone who listens or looks at your car from any distance away

I've gotten pulled over 3 times in 1 day before back when i had my 240sx with hella loud exhaust but i never got a ticket, they always just gave me warnings. just say that the exhaust was on the car when you got it and that its really hard to find stock replacement parts for a 17 year old car.

Dont buy a new muffler... Just a used one on craigslist or something.


PS: Get some OEM tail lights on craigslist too please haha.

See I never get pulled over for exhaust, but cops hate cars that look like they race here in Texas. I got pulled over one night because there was reports of a black civic racing (isn't that unusual). After not being able to do anything, he finally says that my HID's are illegal and impounds my car.

i'v been pulled over a few times. but i can see the silencer in your muffler. you should have told the cop that the silencer's in there already and there's nothing else you can do about it.

dont buy from factory they are going to rape you.
you HAVE to have a cat, no matter what, if you dont its illegal. if you dont that could be a reason why its so loud,

freind got pulled over with his spec II and had to pay $134 about 3 weeks ago.
he didnt have a cat, some places if they find out you have no cat you can get like a 1000 dollar ticket.

it all just depends on the cop, the day, and if hes bored or not. at least in wa, i was in a group of cars coming down mildred, i was in the middle, and i get stopped for a no front plate.
funny, i had a straight pipe back to a apexi n1 muffler with a built h22 never got 1 ticket,

In WA the law is "if it's anything other than stock its illegal". Sounds like it over in NY too. I got pulled over but didn't get a ticket. He said to put a silencer in it. But did I?.......No

why would you not roll with the silence? its not going to effect your power, and its going to queit the car down a little bit

honestly I think its foolish not to use one
