Sup yall im from San Diego and will be moving to San Jose next week. (SJSU)

My dad wont let me get another exhaust part until i can confirm that the cops are not strict as fuck about loud exhausts.

In socal, you wont be pulled over for a loud exhaust unless youre insane loud.(straight pipe loud..).

Can anyone confirm that louder than stock exhausts are ok?

Just stay out of Fremont and dont drive like a ****. Cops will use it as a reason to pull you over only if you give are asking for it.

There's another option that you probably have not considered.......

I know its a left-field crackheaded idea but, how about......Listen to your Dad.

I'm with stuguy. Until you can fully support yourself and do whatever you want, listen to your dad.

I seriously never thought I would ever give that kind of advice to someone as I was always the kid that never listened to his/her parents but in the end, they do know better most of the time. Experience > all

He is listening to his dad.

He is trying to find out how much cops care about a loud exaust systems before his dad let's him do more to his exhaust.

Instead of giving him a hard time. You should be happy that his dad is hooking him up with car stuff.

Anyway. ... I don't live in the area, but I do go through a bit. I would say it depends on the individual cop. Or if you are ripping on it.

My celica and my girlfriends frs have very loud castles systems and never get hassled about it.
I would generally says that cops up here are lest strict than LA.
Cops. But I am not sure compared to SD cops.

I can safely say that in the East Bay (mainly Oakland, Hayward, and San Leandro), cops don't really give a fuck about loud cars, as long they're not sounding like Harleys. I drive next to, behind, and in front of cops all the time and haven't been pulled over for the 9 months of ownership. Mind you, my car is pretty loud too. Just don't drive like an asshole and keep it civilized.

thanks guys

Welcome to the hood! You'll be okay in SJ. It's a big city, too much other crime going on that diverts the attention.

Raven240 · 08-13-2014, 01:08 AM

Cops don't care in San Jose because of crime. #Spartangraduate

sweetfrs · 08-13-2014, 01:32 AM

lucky lol i can't wait to move back home! lol but anyways don't drive like a dumba** and you should be fine, and don't speed on the highways !

acx23 · 08-13-2014, 08:52 AM

It's not as bad as before (like 5+ years ago) but that doesn't mean running 4" tip with straight pipe is tolerable. It really depends on where you are, some cities and areas are stricter than others. Good rule of thumb - lift and neutral cruise whenever you see cops around... and praying.

A fellow Spartan! Welcome. San Jose cops generally will not care if you have a loud exhaust as long as you don't floor it or drive recklessly. Take it easy on the throttle

Don't drive like a douche bag ever regardless of where you are.
