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.
fuck, sounds like the same cop that pulled me over near LAX, except him and his back up buddy were assholes! i was polite to both of them too. maybe i should've been proactive about saying i have all my smog equipment stock and it passes all the tests lol. congrats on the pass tho!

i now drive a new way to/from work and avoid LAX area altogether :/
