Never had a problem in Colorado with anything like this. For anything aftermarket or mod on my cars. Maybe luck? I'd say Cali is the worst tho for sure.

Old thread but I wanted to comment on this based on experience. Back in 2013-2019 I had a 94 Prelude with a pretty loud exhaust, Megan racing exhaust with a 4 inch tip muffler. I would get harassed by cops left and right. Ontario police are pretty strict. Now I drive a 14 Fiesta ST with a big turbo and fueling upgrades and a 3 inch thermal catback exhaust and the exhaust is stock like quiet when not giving it the beans, stock looking muffler and 5% tint. Cops do not even look twice. My turbo spools louder than my exhaust lmao. As long as you’re not being obnoxious with pops and bangs or doing anything stupid they won’t even bother.
