Message	of my Greddy Exhaust. I was sitting in the turning lane and got pulled over. The cop said it wasn't because of the noise it was just because he said my exhaust is illegal in Florida. WTF? I have had this set up for 5 years and have never had a problem? He gave me a $76 ticket. Do any of you guys know anything about this? I know not having cats is illegal but there is no way he could tell that from just looking at my tail pipes.
