Definitely true on the Classic Car's or Domestic's never getting pulled over for "loud exhaust". It is usually only the import's they give a hard time about the exhaust. I would fight that and I also would add a resonator and I say paint it black also, but make sure you use high temperature paint. They look for any reason to pull you over - it used to be the "Your license plate light is out" excuse. Take away any reasons that they have to pull you over.
