BTW I drive a 2007 GTI with turboback and pss10 coilover. I was driving 50km/h with 2000rpm, how was my car loud. Any truck or bus drove pass by would make a louder noise than my car. Then the cop asked me to rev my car to 3000rpm, then he went tested it with a sound measure and said I exceeded the sound test (he said he had 96db). He wrote me a ticket for unnecessary noise $109 and another ticket that I have to go to VW for an inspection. I asked the cop I wasn’t even speeding or reving at all, why would you give me the tickets. I had the car for almost 8 years and the mods was done by the previous owner. He said I was disturbing the neighboorhoods and all modified cars shouldn’t have existed because they are illegal. For the whole conversation, I was being as polite and respectful as I could. However, the cop’s attitude was very aggressive, mean and rude. I definitely didn’t do anything disturbing to the neighboorhood, but I felt disturbed by him. I went to VW right after the incident and asked about the inspection. The guy at VW told me about the story behind all these and told me even some stock porsche got VI for no reason. That’s just ridiculous.

Are you going to take your car in for inspection as is?
Pics of your car please, and since you're new here, a stock FRS (with modified exhaust) just passed his inspection as is, without changing his exhaust.
So no, not all modified cars are illegal.
How low is your car and how aggressive is the camber?
I guess at the time, you didn't know what was happening. But this has nothing to do with speeding or how polite you are to the cop. It's kind of personal... or, personal to car enthusiasts and performance cars.
I would love to know more about that stock Porsche story.
