I agree... My SRS Can has got to go before I get an aftermarket DP. I want to get as low key as possible. Already been popped and checked for cats last fall just because of my exhaust. Still got a "defective exhaust" ticket though... I said I had an exhaust leak and would put the silencer on.

Not necessary. Got pulled over twice for it. 1st one I deserved it because I might have been too loud with helix hfc dp. 2nd time only with borla + aem shortram intake. No speeding. CHP very particular now even if you drive slow.

Yep I've had that happen three times but when the see SUBARU on the bottom of my muffler they stop looking at exhaust and make me pop my hood. And its only going get worse since i bought seoul's takata volks but thankfully I'm 100% stock or CARB and soon to be 100% stock

Is there low ride/suspension law in bay area? I wonder if they will pull cars for that in the future.

actually there is.. I can't remember it correctly but I remember cops were measuring from the head lights to the ground and making comments they had to be X amount of inches.. I know someone else might have the actual info on this. I also heard of people getting ticket for being to loww to the ground.

I know, I was just too lazy to scroll down to quote Ave's post instead of yours. It was more of an agreement post to yours, rather than a contradictory statement. Wait... people agreeing on i-club?
