Do you get extra attention from cops bc you have an aftermarket muffler?

I'm pondering getting one...but there are two things I do not want.

1. Attention from cops...although I have CAI installed right now I get little attention from cops when I drive by. I'm pretty sure if I get one cops will look for where the sound is coming from and automatically think i'm up to no good.

2. Ricey sound...I don't want an even tone. I want an uneven domestic sounding tone that burbles/rumbles...no single kinda tone.

Do any of you know of a muffler that burbles? And do those of you with them installed notice that cops pay more attention to you now that you have one? thnx.

I don't think you could get that type of rumbling tone out of our car due to the design of the engine. That sound probably comes from a different cylinder firing order and layout, ours was designed to be a smooth revving engine, not a jerky domestic engine. All you can expect is a smoother tone out of any aftermarket exhaust. Which is why I left mine stock. I don't get much attention for my skirts, rims or intake, but the exhaust would definately do it.

Yeah I know I'll never get it to sound like a V8 but at least a slight uneven tone would be great. I'm just annoyed by the constant tone of most import mufflers something like the G35s tone would be good.
