In my city , we have a " sound ordinance " which was in response to people playing their radios too loud at stoplights . You know ... where you can hear the car (((( vibrating)))) next to you . The music sounds like crap but I guess the drivers think they are really COOOOL . I have been questioned by a police officer , but no ticket . I politely reminded him of the Harleys without any mufflers that are much louder than my Vette . BTW ... I have Borla Stingers with headers , not Bullets , but they are pretty loud . Also , I have noticed that they get louder if a Mustang or ricer with a wing is next to me at a stoplight . I usually drive at the speed limit so as not to bring too much attention to the loud rumble emmited from the Vette . I like to keep them guessing .

Giving a ticket to any car with a loud exhaust is . I guess the cops that do that are afraid to stop a Hog. There is no comparison.
the corvette is the average cops dream car... not likely you will get a ticket in a really loud vette vs honda civic with a fart can. ..you should just play the " I understand officer, but its a corvette" card. lol
Personally Im going to be running a bullet PRT with headers and no cats, Im thinking this will have alot less bassy drone then your typical x pipe.
I dont think the bullets with stock everything else or that loud.. just the way the car should sound.

I was moving overseas and didn't have time to fight it.

Virginia can suck it... that state has the worst traffic laws in the nation IMO. I have had a $1000 speeding ticket there... no where else would it ever cost half that much.

VA has the most crooked cops with the worst traffic laws I have come across, and I have been to Louisiana (New Orleans area).
By the way, in no way, shape or form do I hold any malice the the HONEST, hard working LEO's across the nation.

I have the Bullet PRT. No headers yet but they are coming. PRT quiets it down a lot at WOT with deep rumbling idle much louder than stock. Drone is bad. I ride with top down or windows open if I can to reduce drone. And I'm glad someone started this thread cause I was wondering the same thing about tickets.
