is it the cone air filter? Regardless those don't make much sound maybe a whistle but again the sound is nothing compared to an exhaust. Im guessing it was just the body mods that got him to think you had other mods like exhaust or durbo or subercharger....

I actually have an air filter (ITG), it changes the sound a little while idle. Thank God he didn't notice though! I am removing it today :mrgreen:
Do you have any pictures of the car that we can see?

We had a short drive last night, stopped over by the Police in the middle of the road and nothing happened. Nissan Skyline R34, Honda S2000, Toyota Mark II, Nissan 350Z, Lexus GS300, Lexus SC300, Mitsubishi Evolution IX, Nissan Silvia S14 & a couple of Civics were part of this drive.

Just posted a story about the situation along with some quotes from several members on several forums here.. Along with a message posted on 7 days about the how a community member reacts towards such action..

MEMTS shared this article on their facebook page without making any clarifications as apparently they seem to be surprised as-well or something..
