Y-Pipe Fine ??

This hasent been covered on other threads so read on
On my buddies mustang hes got an off-road H-pipe that is just as illegal as a Y-pipe on our Maxima's. If you get pulled over and the cop happens to look underneath your car and sees the H-pipe you get a $500 fine, True ??...Is this true with Y-Pipe's as well since there for off-road use too ??

Well, if a cop can tell the difference and knows that a Maxima has precats, and he jacks your car up, and there is good lighting, and ect. ect.

I guess anything is possible??? LOL

Even somebody who knows a lot about cars probably couldn't tell the difference unless they had a maxima and knew about the y-pipe.
Plus most cops for a routine pullover are not about to crawl on their backs to look under your car.

Some cops in DC Metro area carry around mirror devices to check if you have a catalytic converter, but that's about the extent. Unless you have a really sh*tty flex section, the Y-Pipe alone is not a Maxima modification that is really noisy, i.e. it wouldnt raise much suspicion by the police.
