I have only got 1 exhaust ticket and that was in Sept 03. I try to stay out of the Tampa/St Pete area at night.

316.2935 Air pollution control equipment; tampering prohibited; penalty.--
No person shall operate any gasoline-powered motor vehicle, except a motorcycle, moped, scooter, or an imported nonconforming motor vehicle which has received a one-time exemption from federal emission control requirements under 40 C.F.R. 85, subpart P, on the public roads and streets of this state which emits visible emissions from the exhaust pipe for more than a continuous period of 5 seconds, and no person shall operate on the public roads or streets of this state any motor vehicle that has been tampered with in violation of this section, as determined pursuant to subsection (7).

Starting to gather parts to weld up my cutout when I get home today. Already have a mild 3" y pipe and the electric plate setup, just need some flanges, some stainless flux core wire and a 3"-2.25" reducer. Soon she'll be quiet as stock again and I won't have to worry about getting on the gas a bit in the high-cop nighttime hours.
With the amount of cops starting to give warnings/tickets for exhaust...is there anything out there protecting skittles from getting pulled? They come stock with what could be called an annoying note to those who think exhaust is a bad thing. And why dont I see Harleys pulled over getting free paper? I think this might be profiling and maybe we need to file a class action lawsuit.
