![]() I've been driving with "illegal" offroad pipes on my cars for 10 years now. I've also been pulled over a good 30 times over that time period and until last Thursday have never had a problem with it. My car is not exactly quiet either, most cops ask me about it and compliment me on it...as they write the ticket. But never harass me about checking for emissions.
However I have come across an extremely pissed off LS1 State Trooper that is on a mission to get me put in jail for it. He's threatened me that he will pull me over the next time he see's my car on the road and will look for cats and if I don't have them it's a second degree misdemeanor. That includes up to 60 days in jail, getting arrested and up to a $250 fine. Due to my profession that would kill my future career so with that in mind I'm putting fake cats on (welding the cat and shield on my O/R pipe) so it visually has emissions. This temporary fix is for the next few months till the car comes off the road and is no longer my daily driver. Simply put it's a crap shoot you may have no problems ever or you may have problems tomorrow. Most cops will warn you once about it because honestly it's a pretty steep penality considering how many have O/R pipes on their cars. Bill
