Default cops caught me again!

The cops are killing me, I got caught for driving a loud car previously but that exhaust was indeed loud, I swapped the damn exhaust for a pretty quite set-up and still got caught.

I spent about $5000 in fines and different exhausts and im fedup.

I came to the conclusion that the cam lope is whats catching the cops attention, FYI my cam has 4degrees of overlap, so im thinking of swapping that to a cam with negative overlap, pullying down, and swapping to ported/polished heads to gain whatever I lost and a bit more.

Ideas?

What is your exhaust set up? Could always do a couple resonators and add 2 cut outs before all them. Quite when needed, and loud when racing

Ask the cops what is catching their attention. Ask what constitutes "loud car." Ask the cops what you can do about it. How does cam lope grab a cop's attention? Are you getting caught sitting still? I'm glad I live in America.

hire a $50 fix-a-ticket lawyer and they will throw it out as soon as they see a lawyer.

Not sure the lawyer thing works the same way in UAE.

I think it's 100 db at 100 ft or something, but maybe that's just for stereos...

As stated above, they should be providing a spec, it can't just be "loud". Find out what the decibel has to be.

+2 on the resonators. Quiet at normal cruise and a mean growl at open throttle. A bonus is no drone.

That sucks...

Looks like you might need a couple more mufflers... haha. Add another magnaflow to the back of the exhaust set up if there's room.

Also I'm surprised the blower likes so much overlap.

If he's in Dubai like his location says, the laws are probably drastically different than the typical sound ordinance here in the states.

Their cops don't **** around there. ****, you can get drug screened just for entering the airport on a layover and jailed for having advil in your system.
