cops like to abuse their powers , last night My 2 friends and I got pulled over in SF because our headlights shorted so we were using foglights (2nd gen integra foglights are in the headlights) the foglights are bright enough to see and are infact HID. He gave us a ticket for non correctable headlights and driving with fog lights. He was screaming at the time of his lungs flaying his arms around for no good reason he acted like we were drinking and ran a stop sign barely hitting him or something. Some cops are real douche bags.

I saw him an hour before he pulled me over... I was at the lucky's talking to another iclubber... shoot the Ish ... and then we were going to back to my plce to look at some parts i have... HE FLEW down the hill... i swear almost hitting me.... i thought at first he was trying to get by ... but he pulled me over and had a HUGE attitude... I was polite call him sir or officer every time. But he was just rude the whole time!!!.... I just don't get it.... this incident might just break my heart and IDK wtf I will do after I ref the car..... Just so sad.... was finally getting it to how I liked it......

I guess if you don't want to attract police attention you should run a stock cat-back and remove your tint?
Front tints, loud pipes and missing front number plates are a real attention grabber to the cops.

I thought the maddad whisper and the borla hush both came under the 95 allowed decibel reading. maddad is ~2 decibels quieter than the borla hush.
from fastwrx on the borla hush:
I think you'll be fine if you put a stock downpipe on as far as exhaust goes.
from fastwrx on the borla hush:
Measuring 20" back from the exhaust outlet, we recorded 80 db at idle, and only 88.5 db at 3,000 rpm. The stock system is 87 db at 3,000 rpm!

Hey, sorry to hear about your reff problem mate. I've gotten a ticket from him too back in 2010 for a loud exhaust. I was running a greddy evo 2 with stock downpipe and everyone knows that it is NOT loud.
Anyways, if you need to borrow a stock dp and exhaust, lmk. i have them sitting in my garage.
BTW, i've reffed my car multiple times. make sure you car has oil or they'll make you reschedule lol. I've always been to the evergreen valley college state ref, they're pretty cool there. to top it off, they have students helping at times
