This was a big issue back in the 60's in my small hometown. At the very least you had to have duals and glass-pacs. Throw in high compression big blocks, 25 cent gas and cheap bias ply tires and you had a recipe for some serious noise, talk about getting some attention! Most trouble I ever got into was going before the judge and having my speeding ticket ammended to disorderly conduct. When the police and court reports were printed in the weekly newspaper my father (a pastor) didn't appreciate seeing I had paid a $10.00 fine for D.O.

Without a doubt, its no fun to get pulled over and I think its fair to say all here agree. But you didn't get the ticket. That in itself is worth celebrating...

Last year I got pulled over for almost the same thing. The motorcycle cop that pulled me over said it was because it sounded like I was speeding...yep you heard me right. 
I did get a written warning. But at least I know the Corsa gets attention when you accelerate.

It's 7:30 AM and I'm going through Huntington's red light. Light turns green I accelerate to 40 mph (Speed limit) without barking the tires or drag racing. About a 1/4 mile down the highway going towards Lufkin I have the Red an Blue lights turned on behind me. I pull over in the Carwash parking lot knowing damn well I didn't speed or do anything wrong. As the female Huntington cop walks up I say what did I do wrong since I didn't speed or bark the rear tires? She say......now get THIS... "We have a noise ordinance".... NO KIDDING! I said.... "A what?" Yep! 
She pulled me over in my Vette cause I made too much noise! Here's the funny part....I wasn't in a logging truck, not a Monster truck, not a redneck special "Ain't Skreered" branded hooppity, but in my Vette!
I went to the City officies afterwards and asked what is the noise ordinance? They didn't know off-hand but would ask the Police Chief later and for me to call back.
I didn't get a ticket, not even a warning ticket....so why pull me over? She asked me where I was going though. She didn't even have a decibel meter to even know how loud I was, so I guess we are to leave it up to her to decide how loud....loud is? I know theres no way you can get one of those tickets unless you can actually state by a decibel meter how loud it really was. Come on!
I'm guessing she saw me in the Vette and decided she was gonna put me in my place..... She doesn't know I don't lay down and roll over. I'm always ready to get what I deserve when I do speed or whatever, BUT NOT FOR BS! I'm going to have a talk with the Police Chief and tell him what I think. She can do her job but needs a refresher course on ethics, but since she new to the job not to be hard on her.

She let you go, why make a big deal about it. No use giving the LEOs in that area a reason to keep an eye out for you.

It always makes me laugh that if you have a loud car (not saying yours is), you can be subjected to this type of harassment. If you ride a Harley with straight pipes its just cool. I'm confused.

The same thing happen to me a few months back. The cop told me if he can hear the car running from 50 foot away it was ticket time.Same thing on a car stereo.
