ha no but i usually get very nervous when they are around. One of the things i love about this exhaust is that you can control the volume of it pretty easily.
I usually keep my eyes peeled for cops and when i see one i will put it in a higher gear and just kinda coast.

I would be willing to meet whenever, just pm me and we will set up a time and place

thats my biggest concern is the cops but i guess its not too bad if your doing normal driving but if its wide open throttle might aswell accept that your going to get some attention no matter what exhaust you have.

That's exactly how I'd respond to my own experience. I had my V1 for, I guess, about 4 years? Only once got pulled for the exhaust itself. BUT, in that pull (on I-95 just south of downtown Richmond) the Trooper told me he could hear me a mile back, and that the exhaust was what got his attention to root me out & run me down. I ran baffles 100% from 1st day of ownership. Funny, too, as the trooper was really pretty cool all in all. He had me on tint, no front plate, speeding 75 in a 55...and the exhaust. After a calm and respectful bit of conversation, he ended up only writing me up for Improper Equipment, and suggested I look into installing baffles in my exhaust. I wrenched my neck around with eyes probably as big as fifty-cent pieces (thinking I might talk myself out of the last part of this pull over ) and said, "But officer, I *do* have baffles in them...right now! I can show you!!!". Then he responded, "Well they've rotted out or something, cuz that exhaust is LOUD. Sign here... "

PS. Still, I concur with others. Invidia is a really nice exhaust for this car.

You might have gotten use to it cause it makes you go partially def after awhile .


Its not a bad exhaust at all though I had a V2 on my car with a comptech SC'er. Drone was rather annoying at first then I put on a test pipe and it reduced it significantly. I've had many people confuse my car for a bike before rather funny
