could you really say no? sucks in there though..

yeah, it's just like with your home, unless there is cause enough for them to think that there is something illegal under your hood (if your ish is loud or if you were just caught racing) then they need a warrant...otherwise ____ off. I told this to an officer once (even though my stuff is legit) and he said ok and went back to his car...he came back a few minutes later and let me go. I asked him about the warrant ( me being a d!ck), and he said don't worry about it and left...they don't really wanna take the time to get that kind of paperwork unless you really are trouble

Gauges are a reason for probably cause in terms of the police, so is modified exhaust, or anything else that a police officer suspects could be evidence of illegal modifications.

Also, I can't find any official info, but I remember reading that if you decide to not comply to a search and the police officer expresses probably cause, your car can be towed.

In any case, there are three things that would help out a turbo owner in this situation. There is a mod you can buy for your exhaust, that with a push of a button, eliminates almost all of noise, even when revving. Personally, I use Defi BF Imperial Gauges because when they're not on, the screen is just a black face. And I always keep a recorder in my car just in case, I need some evidence!

smart man!
