I believe you mentioned in a prior post you live or work in WI but want to drive the RS in Chicago. If you get pulled over and ticketed in WI, or especially Chicago, it won't be because the exhaust is too loud it will be because someone doesn't like the attitude of the person driving the car, and / or possibly how it was being driven. But to simply get pulled over for loud exhaust in a GT3RS = not common. I lived in Chicago for many years with sports cars and bikes, none stock and had zero issues. As a matter of fact, one evening when I was returning home from the suburbs heading into "Old Town" I was at a light next to two city patrol offices. They asked me to role down my window and of course I did. They then proceeded to request that I do a burnout and accelerate through the intersection. I was a bit stunned but knew they were serious with the grins. When the light turned green I did exactly as they requested - will never forget it.

I've had cops ask me to "open it up", "let's hear it" too 
We've also done drives with a small group of 7 or 8 cars, and one guy is a cop, and has a 997. Some of these drives get out of hand, after we hit over 100 on I-95 which really wasn't a good idea, we stopped for coffee and I told him that if cops had pulled us over, he'd have a harder time explaining why he was speeding with this group
So last night I counted 4 drivers driving with no lights on(!) What's up with that? Every night, at least 3-4 idiots with no lights on

I consistently encounter more drivers today who believe their headlights are on, when they are not, due to the instrument panel lighting up with the DRL. One would think the manufacturers would realize the issue at this point and simply make the default headlight setting "auto on" vs. having to set it that way.

Modern cars are like that. I drive 2019 bmw and its default on auto. I dont even have an option to intentially turn off Auto setting on my car when driving.

Understood, that is my main point, that all OEM should design them this way. Unfortunately, there are many cars on the road with DRL that also display an illuminated dash giving drivers a false impression that their headlights are on. Happens all the time.

For reason dealers tend to switch the headlights from the auto to the off position during service. Those are the usual times I catch myself with lights off after sundown.

I'm meeting friends tonight and will count how many cars with no lights. Some have daylight running lights on, which means the tail lights are off. The worst ones are black cars with absolutely no lights on at all, I'm not sure how a person can drive like that and not notice it.
Most of the street lights here have been converted to very bright LEDs, so that could be a factor.
The thread is about loud pipes, and I think they help. 2 weeks ago, around midnight, I noticed something in the middle of the normally busy road coming toward me. I revved up my bike. hit the brakes to stop the cars behind me, and it was a Pekinese dog(!) I pulled over and chased him by foot, got him out of the road and realized he was deaf and practically blind. Scanned his collar and called the owner who was thankful after he escaped. The dog was 12 years old and a Blackhawk helicopter could have landed next to him unnoticed. Could have been an awful outcome.
Running over that dog might have sent me flying into a tree too.
But to the original question, the center bypass with stock sides is not that loud, I'd say impossible to get a ticket with it.

Thank you. Thats a relief. I will make sure to rev right next to a cop now i know lol. Now I just gotta watch the speed.
Back to the headlights, I can stand ******** driving black cars with no light on (always an old junker that doesnt have DRL and I wonder if they are doing it intentially). Id take high beam guys over these guys.

You would be committing a crime by NOT using a sw exhaust LOL. Was behind a 7-2rs w a sw system and holy sh*t did it sound amazing.

I went about 6 years with the center bypass and no cop issues. Over a year with side deletes and center delete, no issues.
2 cars with no lights on last night. The clueless high beam drivers are also an irritant-

My bypass arrives tomorrow, can't wait to install it and get a little more noise.
I think I will keep my Valve Controller on the car.
Can't Wait!!
