Ok, last night I got stopped by the same county cop that gave me a ticket for my license plate cover a couple months ago. In the previous stop, he told me it was illegal to make the exhaust tone of your vehicle louder than stock. I told im that wasn't the case, but didn't push the issue and he let it go.
Last night he stopped me because of my exhaust and we went through the whole thing again except I told him the cat back was labeled as 50 state legal. He retorts with 'That's not true and I've talked with the State's Attourney and he says that he will prosecute anyone that an officer decides to write up for this violation.' Then he handed me my stuff and let me go!? Don't get me wrong, I don't intend on changing my exhaust...but I would like to get the story straight and maybe have some back-up paper work with me if the cops are gonna start this friviless non-sense. Has anyone researched this issue in deapth. Any ideas on where to go for Illinois legal regulations on the internet? Thanks, Marcus -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Yep, mine's about as open as it can be, but I can still make it fairly quite when I want to be incognito.
I've checked into a Corsa system because they use sound cancellation that does not hurt flow. They currently have systems for Vette's, Vipers and some trucks, but no imports. Interstingly, the person I contacted there owns a DSM and a WRX and he said these systems are in the works! Not cheap, but I don't really care about being loud, I just want performance.
