Probably complimented him on his awesome sounding exhaust.

I'm gonna say that you were pulled over more from looks than sound, the FI looks very aftermarket, which alot of law enforcement agencies are told to pay strict attention to. At cruising speed, none of the exhausts are really all that raucous, even with HFC's. That was a main reason I bought the exhaust I did, for those that dont know any better, it looks like it could have come from the factory that way.

I have the FI exhaust with the FI Long tube headers.. no cats.. have never been pulled over. As a matter of fact ive never been pulled over for an exhaust in any of my cars.. ever.. you must of been doing something else stupid or illigal for the cop to pull you over. FI exhaust with stock cats isnt even loud.

he said I should go back to stock exhaust, however he didn't give me any ticket. BTW, I'm just worry if he see me again.

P.S/ he told me that he think 350z is better... maybe he has 350z?

in my state aftermarket exhaust will win you a fix it ticket but then i always question why the harley guys get to make chopper noise... while other's arent allowed.

I didn't do any illegal thing. If I did, he should gave me ticket for that.
Speed was only 25miles and didn't go through red light.

Modifications in themselves generally are not illegal. If your OEM exhaust was damaged then you'ld be exspected to fix it. You can not be mandated to buy an OEM pat either. Where you may break the law in this case is noise level or emissions.

Maybe he's just an ***-hole cop with nothing better to do than bother someone with a nice car.

YEa I tried to explain that but he said "All aftermarket parts are illegal!!".

Ask your DMV to provide you with the law that states all aftermarket parts are illegal
