During my time.....I very rarely pulled anyone over for loud exhaust. The times I did were usually because the driver felt it was necessary to rev his engine up at the red light so that he got everyone’s attention.....including mine. 99% of those drivers were the fast and furious type imports with the big cans hanging out the back that made their cars sound like a swarm of bees. In my time I had never pulled over any muscle car for loud exhaust.....because those drivers just let the rumble speak for itself. If anything I pulled up next to those cars and chatted with driver about his car while at the red light. Most of the officers I know really appreciate the work guys put into their cars and will cut them slack....as long as you don’t act like an idiot.

Just food for thought.......

Same happens here, I have had several officers stop at a light and chat. This is being blown out of proportion. As others stated if you are not driving stupid in populated areas you will not be bothered in a Cobra.

I will even raise you one. My 32 Ford is FENDERLESS. By law, illegal. Do the police stop me? No. I even considered building before I found my car. If I would have it would have needed an inspection by the Ohio State Patrol to get a title. I called and asked about the fenders. They stated it would not be an issue.
