Cop walks up and asks if he knows why he pulled me over, I kindly say "no sir", honestly not knowing why he was wasting my time. He tells me it is illegal in the state of Ohio to have any aftermarket exhaust what so ever. Not regarding emissions or dtb reading. I have a stock contour svt exhaust with 2 ractive mufflers, bought it from the dealership like this. I'm like WOW, I couldnt believe what he was saying. He said that it is 100% legal to buy an exhaust or maybe dark tint, but once you get on the street you are committing a crime. I got a $110 ticket If anyone knows anything about this Id like to have some input so I could fight it in court, cause there is no way I am paying it, good day



I do not know the Ohio law, but as long as it's cat-back, and with in sound limits,it should be okay. Look up your state vehicle code on line. There will be a specific setion regarding acceptable vehicle modifications.

If your exhaust is with in the legal limits, cite the vehicle code section in court. The ticket will be tosses. If not, file appeal and sue.
