The second I hear a loud exhaust ripping down the street, my head whips around to see what it is. The same goes for a cop, except his reason is much more sinister.
Back in the day I ran one of these on my STi exhaust, plumbed right off the downpipe. When it was closed the exhaust went through the oem muffler.
When you're playing against the rules, it helps to be stealthy. Exhaust noise is the first thing that will get their attention.

Agreed 100%
The cops are crossing the line with these VI's, and it's a shame.

Take the point of view of a lawyer here.
The issue is that in the case of a lens being replaced, the whole unit has now been modified by someone who has not been approved to do these modifications. It puts the integrity and safety of the headlight in question. Just be happy that we can still do our own maintenance. The time will come where you won't be allowed to access your driveline unless you're a qualified technician. You are seeing it already with Teslas and some high end vehicles.
