Anyway, the cop proceeds to ask me to open the hood for an inspection. Of course I just installed my JRSC last week which he couldn't get me for because of the CARB legal status. He ended up getting me for my OFHeader which I've had on the car and been running through that tunnel for the last two years. I also just put on bigger mufflers+additional resonator to quiet down the exhaust considerably.
Hope you all enjoyed.

I got pulled over in LAX a couple days ago strictly because of my exhaust. Maybe it was the same cop. It was some Filipino looking guy on a motorcycle. He pulls me over and asks me, "do you know why I pulled you over?". I looked at him a little confused because I was obeying the law and he says "I pulled you over because of your exhaust". Then proceeds to ask me to pop the hood. Comes back and says "Your intake is legal because it's not the big cone type". I figured I should keep my mouth shut about that and told him that everything on my car is 50 state legal, including the exhaust. He tells me he can check and proceeds to look under my car. I tell him all cats are there and it passes emissions and sound dB. Then he says "Ok. I'm pushing myself here, but just don't do anymore to your car that would increase pollution. There are cars out there that go overboard. By the way, your car looks great. Take care" and walked away.
First time being pulled over in LAX and first time being pulled over strictly for an exhaust. Felt like I was living in 1998 again.
