So I had some resonators installed. It's much quieter now. I can't have cats as long as I run my 2 step. That's why I got rid of them. The 2 step dumps unburned fuel into the exhaust and it plugged them up. I doubt seriously if any cop is gonna look under my car. He'd need a jack or a hoist anyway, as low as it sits. I had to get a low profile jack just so I could change my tires.

this is the key here, although it'll still stink for a bit it's less noticeable and quiet. Whenever I get pulled over I pull over at the safest possible location making sure that the cop has room to walk up to either side of the car, roll both windows down, shut off the car, put my keys up on the roof and both hands on the wheel.

Being very much in favor of GREEN, I can not condone such behavior. I am totally disappointed.

Hopefully I won't get pulled over in the SRT.
Besides, Joe.. your car is STUPID loud. I love it. Mine just pops and gurgles and rumbles. Interesting enough to some cops. I've had cops literally ride my bumper, bikes and cars, check out my drop and exhaust, and then drive off. Lucky so far. 
And Leedom... when I get my car track ready again lets go... I been dyin to run ya  All this smack talkin is getting me excited. |
I have a feeling I would not like the outcome.  BTW just to make sure.. I meant no disrespect by the whole "punk kid", "ricer" comment.

None taken!!! I absolutely love your car, and it's inspirational as a strong beginning to my future mustang... I'm still kinda curious what the outcome would be...
i'm hitting close to 260-270whp/270-290wtq as it sits in a 3080lb car including driver (curb weights about 2950)... against ur mustang CW plus driveR? closer to 3600lbs maybe? against your 270-280whp (can't remember your #s)... w/ my shitty FWD traction vs your good RWD traction... curious curious curious.

I don't know what this ref is you speak of, but I doubt I'm gonna have any problems since I now have resonators that quiets the car considerably. I drive pretty tamely on the street, for the most part.

I really don't think I was overlooking anything. I was just answering Tyler's question about the trouble I've had because of the "catless" exhaust.

Seems like you have lots of experience getting pulled over, Tyler. 
Why put the keys on the roof? Isn't that a little overkill?

Yeah, keys on the roof? Never heard of that one. All the other stuff is correct. If at night, make sure to turn your cab ligt on so they can see inside as they walk up. It's all about taking their stress level down.
