man

when the cops do a general licence check, u wont leave withing 5 mins, regardless if u have a brand new corrolla or highly modiefied gtr.

just sit back, ive been pulled over in my car, which is a fair bit louder than ur car most likely esp on any sort of throttle, and driven away without nuffen.

watch your attitude, altho if u have a bad driving history, cops r usually assholes to u straight away, also doesnt help when u drive an import or hoon car.

i doubt u will get an epa notice, if u do, dont stress bout it. before u go to the epa, goto an exhaust shop, get it db tested, if its over, borrow a stock cat back, and ur set

I had pretty much the same thing happen about 2 weeks ago, Cop pulled me over for a "Random Breath Test", checked my license, asked me to pop the bonnet and took a look under there, asked me if the exhaust was on it when i got it, etc... anyway then he left with a "thanks mate".. all good (or so i thought). He actually forgot to breath test me in the end :)

Yesterday I got a letter from the EPA saying i was observed on that day and "the vehicle was considered to be either excessively noisy or had a faulty exhaust system". Anyway I have to get it tested, gotta get a new exhaust system coz there's no chance that it will pass whatsoever, it's soooo loud (but i love it :)).

Just what I need at Christmas time ;)

well, that was the first time ive been pulled over so that could be my warning... the reason they pulled me over was because i was in the merging lane just had my bonnet infront of them and i speed up a little to get in front as i had right of way in the first place... so maybe they had nothing on me anyway as they were suposed to give way to me and didnt til the last minute......

they might have been hoping i dropped a gear and sunk the slipper into it. but i didnt. :) lucky!

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
