I have a chevy silverado with some somewhat noisy pipes on her, and I love my pipes and want the least amount of restriction on the exhaust so she's good n' loud, and I know it's illegal to not have a catylitic converter on it, but I really don't want one if I don't need one. So number one question: do cops ever pull anyone over because of noise, then find they don't have a converter on their vehicle and fine them? And also my friend told me they can't pull you over until after 10pm because it's too loud. Is this true or is he just playing with me? Any help on this subject is much appreciated!! Thanks!!

I don't know if it's after 10 or whatever, but we got pulled over a long time ago in high school for really loud music in our car, so yea, the police officer can pull you over, but you have to keep in m ind, it's gotta be really loud and another thing, he gave us a warning , which is what he would do if your truck was blasting that loud and if you haven't gottend pulled over this far, don't worry about it.

My town has a couple of provisions. First, noise must be at a minimum between 10pm and 6am. Secondly, you cannot create so much loudness that it goes over a certain number of decibals (although I forget how many it is) at any hour of any day. I'd say stop trying to overcompensate by having a loud truck and put your catylitic converter back where it belongs.

Yeh its against the law to modify your exhaust, and you can be pulled over at any time for disturbing the peace, their is no 10 p.m. law,
BUT cops have a thing for pick-up trucks and Harley's, no matter how loud or how lifted the trucks are (headlights in your rear view mirror) your safe, because that is as American as apple pie in the cops eye.

Your friend don't know squat basicly,
Traffic codes on equipment is in effect 24/7
If they hear the loud pipes and they are easily shown to be non specified equipment, they can ticket you any time of the day or night.
Now in many places they won't till it is latter and the officers are not as busy, but they can
** this applies to the several states where I was a police officer

You can be pulled over at anytime and ticketed for loud exhausts. For your sake I hope it is only a warning the first time but you never know. It depends on the officer.

I have a solution for you....grow the fvck up! Go down to closest muffler shop, replace your glass packs, and stop riding down the street making every dog bark, making everyone ELSE suffer your poor taste. You HAVE to have a catalytic converter on EVERY street legal car that burns unleaded fuel.
A loud exhaust is just as annoying as loud rap music.

It kinda depends on the laws where you live. Where I'm from, they'll pull you over for that.

It depends on local noise ordnances.
