I live in northern california and was pulled over in my 66 fastback twice in 2 weeks, both for "loud exhaust". Both times they popd the hood and did a quick examination.
1st time the cop was saying that i need a box of some sort over my air filter. is this true? he then askd if i had any stickers showing that my parts were street legal, which i dont. Wrote me up a ticket saying i have to go to the state ref. so they can examine my whole car and tell me what i have to change to get it street legal (this ticket only says loud exhaust)
2nd time was at nite and i was going about 60 in a 45, the officer was going the oppisite way and i seen her so i let it roll to the speed limit before she even got behind me. when she came up to my window she kept asking how fast i was going so i know she didnt know exactly how fast so i kept saying im not sure but she still wrote 60+ in a 45 zone (i dont think she has any proof). She also examined my car and was complaining about my side pipes and same thing with my air filter. (this ticket says 60+ in 45 and loud exhaust)
i have alot of stuff done to my car but i didnt know i can get tickets because i was always under the impression that cars that made before the smog law were exempt.
i have a 351w afr heads, edelbrock intake, holley 750 carb, msd, tcp rack&pinion, tcp uca&lca, 9" posi, shorty headers, dynomax full exhaust. is stuff like this illegal on streets. should i fight the tickets?
