Hasn't that always been the unwritten rule? (unless you're a complete moron) After you mod your intake / exhaust, you learn to watch your mirrors 100x more than you used to, even if you used to check them religiously. I always have when driving every single vehicle I've modded over the years.
In smaller towns, cities, you can have a nice dialogue sometimes with the local cops and see if it's going to be a hassle. If you show most that the exhaust is emissions-wise up to par, sometimes they make a note of you and let you be. That happened to me years ago, worked great.
Sometimes it pays to humble yourself a little and do a little smooth talking when the opportunity presents itself.
