most cops will tell you even a midas exhaust is illegal. The actual law is that it cannot be modified in such a way that increases sound over O.E. noise levels. Of course, since traffic court is unconstitutional, and requires no evidence, you're fucked and it's impossible to fight. Unlike the normal court system that is innocenty until proven guilty, traffic court is guilty until proven innocent. And you can't prove yourself innocent easily when half the time the judge won't even let you speak. I saw a judge FORCE a kid to plea guilty once, it was ridiculous. Just kept on bitching at the kid re-asking him how he was going to plea till he stopped saying innocent and said guilty. I'm not sure how this shit manages to go on so easily. I guess we've just gotten so used to it and people are afraid to complain. Traffic court needs to be innocent till proven guilty like the rest of the court system instead of the joke it is today.

sorry for the off topic rant, and original poster, you should have seen this coming. Who doesn't know about exhaust laws these days? Even my asshole neighbors who don't know a muffler from a grill know the exhaust laws.
