If you have a classic and it is reasonable CHP will leave you alone. It is people that do things like these whistler tips that cause an overreaction. So, in order to make sure it is not targeting a certain product or people they come up with a catch all.

I pop out my tubes all the time and the CHP gives me a thumbs up.

Those people need to make better use of their time.

Any wonder the rules need to be tough, to help stop wankers like this.

They have never bothered me here but I don't get in town and just rev the engine to see if I can shake the windows either. I live right next to our police station and the only thing they have ever did was stop by to look at the cars. There always seems to be a few idiots that ruin things for everyone.

Agreed. I have pretty much been ignored by police, other than positive feedback. My view is they don't view old guys in classic cars as the problem - it's the young punks with their 'fast and furious' cars and attitudes they're watching.

Cars that have been dropped / lowered, ridiculous amounts of negative camber, 'stretched' tires/wheels, blacked-out windows and 'fart can' mufflers get far more attention than a Cobra replica, even one with side pipes.

Huh.
