So I'm driving through Oakland, the home of the whistle pipe and Mr. Rubb Nubb, to H&R Block to do my taxes. I see two cops on bikes in front of me. They pull to the right like they'e stopping for a donut. Next minute, they stop me and they walk back to check out the exhaust. They say I'm in violation of the local noise ordinance. So now I've got this 'fix it' ticket. Not just any 'fix it' ticket, but the type where you gotta schedule in an appointment and have it inspected... mother fockers...

Hey Ev,

If you need a stock exhaust, I'll be happy to swap with you so you can get that ticket taken care of. Don't worry, I won't even charge any rental fees for the stock exhaust since I'd be using your "OK" exhaust in exchange.

What are friends for right?
