ALDO:
Nice line-up indeed but I am surprised with that sticker license plate on the GT3 RS. I know that the fine isn't a big deal if they catch you (you don't have a seal on that plate, so no criminal charges) but Bavarian police could for example impound your car because of that sticker plate. Careful when you drive in Bavaria!

We live in the same country but I think that living 200 km or less to the west is much better.
The police stopped me twice and once they said that this is not legal and didn´t asked to change them, the second time they have said, please change it "bei Gelegenheit" (when it is suitable to me).
Also this weekend, was a weekend of 1.785 ps (not calculating Panamera and Range Rover). All with sport exhaust. We have tested it each car alone and then all together. A few from the neighborhood came out to see. Nobody had give any negative comment on our exhaust testing. They have asked about the cars and found it pretty cool to see all the cars at one time.
So here no problems neither with police nor with people living around me.

Funny: Tons of speed traps in Baden Württemberg but the police itself seems to be more relaxed.
In Bavaria, we barely have speed traps (not even close to what is going on in Baden Württemberg) but police over here can impound your car if they suspect anything which would void the "Betriebserlaubnis", which also includes the license plate if it lacks a seal. Munich and Nürnberg are the worst places as far as I heard and if the exhaust seems to be too loud, they don't care, they impound the car and send you for a noise evaluation.
A friend of mine in his Lamborghini escaped that because he claimed he had an important business meeting which he would miss and that he would sue the whole police department for any possible losses or damages. He is a lawyer, so he knows how to deal with such situations. Btw: His exhaust was not street legal.

ALDO:the same story with all the Harley bikes, once we where 14 bikes and more then a half with not street legal exhaust. We passed two police cars with officers standing outside. Relaxed situation here.
Good to know.
Btw: Where I live, the police is actually quite OK as long as you don't argue with them. I am always nice, I smile (no matter for whatever BS they may have stopped me) but the interesting part is always what they ask me: What is your profession? This is weird. The moment I say pharmacist, I feel how the tension goes away and they are actually nice. The women are always a bit bitchy (men are more relaxed) but some of them (women) are very attractive. This doesn't seem to help much though since they seem to want to prove a point. Still...always got off without a fine, even if I deserved one. Luckily no speed trap so far.
