It's clear to everyone now that cops pull over all cars that have no cats, Flowmasters, and stripes on the hood. It doesn't matter how you drive, it's unavoidable. It can't be your fault!

Man that really blows. I've had my exhaust (LTs,o/r X, dynomax catback) for 2 years and have never once been pulled over for it (knocks on wood), and the times I have been pulled over, I deserved it. Like everyones been saying, but drive normally and you really shouldnt have too much of a problem.

i think im cool.. ny they only rewuire a visual for 02+ mines a 91

IF you see the cops in advance AND if you have a manual tranny, put in the clutch a little ways before you pass the cop and coast by. OR put it in 5th to keep the RPMs low to make the sound quieter.

As I'm building up my car, I've decided to keep graphics and most other "attention grabbing" stuff off my car for this very reason. I don't want any attention unless I'm asking for it. Probably the only cosmetic thing I'm doing is nice 17" rims and a Cobra front bumper, but other than that, my car doesn't stick out at all visually.

Personally, I think you'd be OK without the stripes, but some people are going to think your a "punk" or something because of them. They are wrong mostly, but that is sometimes the stereotype. Tough choice to make either way.

If you're going to spend $$$, get an H pipe or X pipe with 2 cats and be done with it. Plenty of options for under $400, plus you can pass a visual inspection.
