There were police all over the Putty.Popping out of the rocks with radars,unmarked pace cars(i overtook one.Oops.)

What sort of pipe on the ZRX?

Not sure.Its doesn't have a brand on it.Its a about half the length of the standard pipe but looks tidy and doesn't yell out aftermarket.The cop was saying to my mate that the pipe didn't have Kawasaki stamped on it thus its not yada yada yada.What can you do when they call you on this stuff.On the spot you basically have to bend over and take it as making a fuss will probably leed to a longer list of "non compliant" issues.
