Just got pulled over for my muffler.

Well i was driving home from work doing the speed limit when some cop pulls me over and said my muffler is improper and gives me a ticket for $85 and 2 points off my license which i cant afford or i well lose my license So im going to have to fight it and pay $500 for a lawyer and hope they get all 2 points off. Isn't life GREAT....

Points against your driver's license? For an "equipment violation"? That's not even a moving violation. What's up with that?

Its up to the discretion of the cop. If its not stock they can give you the ticket. I thought it was 110 bucks and i didnt think points were involved. I ran around with a harley with loud pipes and never got pulled over. I also have a Mustang with 11:1 compression with flowmaster 40s and never got hassled. You must be young or they ran out of Hondas to ticket.

something about a straight thru muffler is not legal and considered off road. most likely a emissions thing
