Look its like this.. Any mod you do whether it means looks or sounds or whatever draws attention to you, raises your risk of getting pulled over whether you deserve it or not. I know it sucks but thats just how it is.
Your best bet is to do a couple things..
1. Learn your laws. That way you will know whether or not your breaking them, and if they give you a ticket because they "think" its against the law, but cant prove it, then you will know what you need to do to fight the ticket.
Ex.
You get pulled over cause you exhaust it "to loud" and say that the law states that it cant be over so many decibles.. If you know that your car isnt over the decible make them prove it to you. If he cant then they cant give you a ticket for it.
Heres a little story to go with the attention getting mods.
A friend of mine has a bright red GSX with bodykit very eye catching. The only engine mods he has is exhaust and K&N intake.. One day while he was uptown cruising he came around the corner hit the gas a little then shifted causing the infamous Turbo PSSSSHH sound... Well a cop heard the noise and pulled him over. [Now keep in mind he's used to getting pulled over, he's got probably 100+ entries on his license for one reason or another.] When the cop walks up to him he ask the cop why he pulled him over. The cop replies "Im not sure but something didnt sound right, and if I didnt pull you over other people might start doing it to so I wanted to check it out." He explains to the cop that its just the way his car sounds when he shifts, the cop was pretty cool about it and let him go.
The moral of the story is... If you dont want to be bugged by cops, drive a stock or near stock vehicle. Else, you just going to have to put up with it.
