Alright, so I was stopped for exhaust this morning for the first time and I've had it for a year and a half. Anybody else have a problem getting picked on for exhaust?

exactly what I said, and as I'm sitting there two harleys go past and about 4 trucks that were louder than me. I was like you have got to be kidding me
As much as I hate to say it. If I get stopped again I'll have to put a muffler on....

i know that here in south texas you can get a ticket for excessive smog if you black cloud of death is vissible for more then 10 seconds! i am speaking from experience and saying you hung an injector only works until the same cop pulls you over twice

Are ya stacked or just straight piped? Either way it SUCKS to be picked on, when harleys can go by and rattle your fillings loose.

Heres a thought, find an old straight through muffler at a Muffler shop, gut it and run a straight pipe through it. Lightening the load on the go pedal might also help.

Im assuming she didnt ticket you, right? Well Afe has a hollow louvered muffler that will quiet it down a bit, but will bark when you get on it. MBRP is a packed louvered Muffler that is quite mellow, but does have a throaty growl when you get on it. Then theres Magnaflow that is perforated and is really mellow, but straight through, no louvers. Then theres the gutted muffler with a straightpipe throught it and a lighter foot.
