So last night. at about 11pm, after leaving my brothers place at Bristol/Hurontario
I'm driving home up brittania. at every red light. the car almost stalls and the battery light comes on....
So.... i decide. i'm going to nurse the car home... i'm driving down brittania doing the speed limit (80km/h) in third gear... so the car is a bit loud. I'm trying to keep the rev's up because it seems that the regulator is shot in the alternator. because the lights dont dim unless the car is idling.
so... some jackass cop pulls me over. i pull off to the side. He comes up to the car and says "hey, thats a bit loud dont you think" he gets a flashlight and starts looking in the exhaust tip " hey i dont see a muffler, why doesnt your car have a muffler" "why would you remove your cars muffler" "where's the catalyst"... etc. fack.. the mbrp isnt that loud. i wonder if that jackass realizes its not a dam honda. i dont have a huge ass can sticking out the back of my car.
so he proceeds to tell me that my exhaust is illegal because i dont have bafflers in the exhaust tip. and people have been complaining about loud exhausts. so whatever. so he goes back to his car, writes up a ticket... comes back to the car. i tell him. hey, i checked with the police allready and they said the exhaust is legal... blah blah blah and i can show him the exhaust. he said he didnt have time for that. told me to fight the ticket. then he drove off and pulled someone over like 500m down the road..
dam jackass...
i was || this close.... to telling the cop off right there. fuckers are out giving me s**t because my exhaust is loud. when they should be looking for the dam jackass who killed the kid from my HS. on wednesday...
Soo... i now have a ticket for "unnessecary noise" any ideas how i should go fight it. etc.
Pissed me right offf.. :ph34r:
i think this is all pointing to one thing...............

noooooooo.......
side note whats the emplyee price on a cobalt SS supercahrged??
havent had the time to check yet.
I'd say get a hold of Ed at MBRP (1-888-636-7223). Ask him if he has some legal use documentation on the MBRP exhaust. If you get that from Ed, I'd say go to the Justice of the Peace and explain your predicament and show him the documentation and you should be home free.
IS there a certain decibal your ehaust SHOULD be at? I sthat written somewhere in the HTA?
Maybe get him on that? Clap in the court room and ask the cop how loud it was, and say you want an exact decibal reading. Make sure you have a decibal reader to make him look like an idiot. Then ask him how the FAWK in his right mind he could give you a ticket if he was "28 or whatever" decibals off from just the sound of you clapping. It would be harder to determine with an exhuast system.
Then, bring up the fact you dont see any cops pulling over the Harley davidsons, show him documentation like e-test and safety papers showing the car's exhaust is perfectly legal, etc....
Make him look like an ass. :D
This ticket is BS, simple as that.

that or jsut go to the police station or MTO and ask them to give you a piece of paper saying that your exhaust is legal and then got to the justice of the piece and itll get thrown out as fast as a cop going to Tims on break.
how would i do this at an MTO office.
did you mention to him that you had a problem wiht your car?
and 80 kms in third is what 2800-3000 rpm?? it couldnt have been that loud
Get rid of the car Steve.
It's cursed.
I official hand you my crown.
Wear it with pride.
^^^LOL
um im not sure about mto anymore, do you know anyone who is a cop? thatll be the easiest thing or jsut walk into the station and act super nice
at this point i think they have the plates on file. so it may be tougher.
That's shitty man, but I beat that rap already. Mind you mine was a little different, the Judge threw it out out with out me showing any documentation! See the cop said he could hear my car ten block's away! It was loud at the time ( blown resonator) but it wasn't that loud! Anyway when the Judge heard that he said exactly what I had said," if you were ten block's away, then how do you know you got the right car?" Exactly! is what I said and got fined $50.00 for speaking out of turn!LMAO
For you though, just bring any document's you have that say's it's legal, and if you want you can get it tested for decibel out-put. You could also explain what the problem was. No matter what though it is a huge waste of time!
Odd's are they will just throw it out. All of the ticket's I've received in the last couple of month's were. But then again my car is well known to the Peel Police! They either love me or hate me because they sure pull me over allot! <_<

call mbrp, im sure theyll be happy to help
one thing i dont miss about Ontario...
cops here dont bother modified cars.
If you really wanna get off it. Do what flow says. Thats seems like a pretty good plan.
Thats so stupid! what an ass, I hate cops like that... :angry:
It would be so nice to capture some of these "incidents" on video, and show what kind of job these cops are doing.
If they are able to give you a ticket, they should be able to listen to your proof that you have a muffler and are perfectly legal!!!!!!!!!!
stupid cop probably won't show up in court, therefore this is all a big waste of your time
Did he give you the option to "repair" the exhaust and have the ticket written off by the division duty desk sargeant? You're considered that you were "given a warning" at that point, and nothing can be done to you for insurance or otherwise.
Same thing happened to me with my ghetto wagon straightpipe exhaust. Bolted a cat inline, took it to the detachment, brought the duty sargeant outside and gently poked the gas a couple of times. He shook his head, drew a line through the ticket and initialed it... and I drove away.
