RE: been pulled over for loud exhaust ?
I have a MAC o/r H with my Borla Stingers, which volume wise, should be fairly similar to your proposed combination.
I've been warned one time. It was about midnight in Fort Wayne (big city) and I was waiting to turn left at an arrow. As I pulled out into the intersection on my green arrow, I had not yet even shifted into second gear when my passengers alerted me that a cop with his lights on was behind me.
Needless to say, he pulled me over about 40 feet later and proceeded to warn me about the pipes being to loud, and how it wouldn't matter how gentle I was on the accelerator, if he was next to me again with the same exhaust, i'd most likely be getting a ticket for sound ordinance violation.
Although he was nice about it, and didn't treat me like an explicative, I still think that it was kind of ridiculous. I was not speeding, not making excessive noise on purpose, but it was apparently enough for him to feel the need to waste some of my time.
So for you, I say do it. In all reality, if a cop is a big enough bonar to pull over with an o/r H, he's probably got grounds to pull you over with just the magnapacks on too. Don't worry about it though, its definately worth the rist.

RE: been pulled over for loud exhaust ?
In my town I have had cops pull me over to see what type of exhaust ive put on my car so they can get an idea of what to do to their old interceptors, they asked if I had cats and I said "what do you think"? Around here I am surprised that the cops dont put exhaust on their patrol vehicles and paint rebel flags on their roofs, deffinitely no complaints though I will be in for a rude awakening when I go back to Arizona to live.

yeah all the mexicans around here blast the most awful music around here with their crappy systems. the music sucks and no one can even understand it. Even if i could i still wouldn't want to hear that. Maybe next time i get pulled over for exhaust I will mention that to the cop.
