That sucks.
Where I live, the cops are more after the trucks that are lifted like 2 feet with straight pipes and such.
Last thing they will care about is my little Cobalt whining down the street.
Haha.

i got pulled over for speeding one time and the cop was like "i heard you about a km down the road with your exhaust before you hit my radar gun, u must have spent $1000 on it, u have to change it, its to loud." i started laughing and was like "wtf, sir, its stock. I dont know how its to loud"
But yea i got lucky, he trapped me 2 times and claims he couldnt keep up to me (from what i seen he wasnt even following me) got me going 20kmh over and 10kmh over so it was going to be a $350 ticket and a $250 ticket. So $600 plus im in the army so he said he has to call the MP's and i would probably get charged...but he let me go with a $164 ticket

LOL I only get pulled over for speeding! If you dont have a cat or ur straight piping a cobalt the cops WILL pull u over cuz 4 bangers sound like crap w/o some kind of muffer to resonate it. Personally if I was a cop, Id pull over any exhaust I thought sounded like POO . I would invest in a beter muffler & possibly a resonator.
Things may be different where your at , but in Ohio. You have to be in the ANNOYING loud tier to be bothered by a cop for exhaust noise. Personally I like my exhaust to make a throaty sound, but if you need to raise your voice to talk to your passenger when your over 4k .. its a bit childish.

ford cougar = cdw-27 which is mondeo, cougar, contour, mystique, and was the platform the mazda 6 and fusion are based off.
also, my car didn't need control arm bushings after 10,000 miles or leaking struts at 7,000 miles...quality my ass!
i am a person that believes most manufactures have a car they simply did right, i am not a fan of toyota but holy **** are supras sweet, hyandai just sucks *****, you catch my drift, i simply do not talk **** about a car without doin research on the subject. also the duratec motor was bought from porsche and utilizes the cosworth casting techniques with clearances well ahead of they're time. please do some research on the subject. actually here i'll post it straight from wikipedia
The 2.5 L and 3.0 L V6 Duratecs are evolutions of the same design, first used in the 1994 Ford Mondeo. It is a modern aluminum DOHC V6 with a 60° bank angle. The primary engineering input came from Porsche, who were developing a similar V6 before selling the engineering to Ford, and Cosworth, who helped with cylinder head manufacturing. They were also used in the Ford Cougar.
The Jaguar AJ-V6 engine is similar but adds variable valve timing. Mazda's AJ version also has this feature.
[edit] Duratec 25
The Duratec 25 is a 2.5 L (155 CID; 2544 cc) 60° V6 and was introduced in 1993. It was developed for the Ford Mondeo and used in the Ford Contour, Ford Cougar, Jaguar X-Type, and others. The Duratec 25 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1995 and 1996, and the SVT version made the list for 1998 and 1999.
An SVT version produced 195 hp (145 kW) and 165 ft·lbf (224 N·m) in 1998. Further improvements were made in 1999 that raised power output to 200 hp (149 kW) and 169 ft·lbf (229 N·m) and were carried over in the 2000 model. The SVT engine was used in the 1998-2000 Ford Contour SVT.
Bore is 82.4 mm and stroke is 79.5 mm on most 2.5 L Mondeo-derived engines for a total of 2544 cc. Mazda used the same block and camshaft in their 2000 MPV. However, they reduced the size to 2.49 L to keep under a 2.5 L tax cap in Japan. It was replaced in 2002 with the larger 3.0 L Duratec 30-based Mazda AJ.
[edit] Duratec 30
The Ford Duratec 30 Engine in a Mercury Sable.The 3.0 L Duratec 30 or Mazda AJ was introduced in 1996 as a replacement for the 3.8 L (~232 CID) Essex V6 in the Taurus/Sable. It has 2967 cc (181 cu in) of displacement and produces between 200 hp (150 kW) and 240 hp (180 kW). The same basic engine is used in the Jaguar S-Type, Lincoln LS, Mazda MPV, Mazda 6, Mondeo ST220 and many other Ford vehicles. It is essentially a bored-out (to 89 mm) Duratec 25 and is built in Ford Motor Company's Cleveland Engine #2 plant in Cleveland, Ohio. A slightly modified version for the Ford Five Hundred entered production at the Cleveland #1 plant in 2004.
There are two key versions of the Duratec 30:
DAMB - The Lincoln LS and Jaguar AJ30 versions have direct-acting mechanical bucket (DAMB) tappets. Output is 232 hp (173 kW) at 6750 rpm with 220 lb·ft (298 N·m) of torque at 4500 rpm.
RFF - The Taurus/Sable/Escape version uses roller finger followers (RFF) instead and produces 201 hp (150 kW) at 5900 rpm with 207 lb·ft (281 N·m) of torque at 4400 rpm.
The 2006 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr feature a version of the Duratec 30 utilizing variable valve timing. The engine has an output of 221 hp (165 kW) at 6250 rpm, and 205 lb·ft (278 N·m) of torque at 4800 rpm.
A Twin-turbocharged version of this engine is used in the Noble M400, a British supercar. The engine is rebuilt and tuned to a max power of 425 bhp (317 kW) at 6500 rpm, with a torque figure of 390 lb·ft (529 N·m) at 5000 rpm. Noble has used forged pistons, an oil cooler, a larger baffled oil sump and extra cooling ducts to maintain its durability.
Mazda's MZI version adds variable valve timing, as does Jaguar's AJ30. Note that the MZI name is also used in Europe on Mazda's version of the Ford Sigma I4. The 3.0 L, 226 hp (169 kW) V6 used in the Mondeo ST220 is called Duratec ST. The 3.0 L 204 hp (152 kW) V6 in the Mondeo Titanium is called Duratec SE.
