Damn Joey, that sucks. A similar thing happened to me about a year and a half ago when I was leaving school. Go read up on the exhaust noise law, it was recently changed. They cannot prove to you that it is illegal, so go to court and fight it. I don't see any way they can enforce the 95db limit, because nobody offers the test...it is an SAE certified test, and nobody performs it. I also got a ticket for my AEM CAI, with the CARB STICKER ON THE INTAKE!! The cop just felt like being a dick and going on a power trip. He said I had to take it home or to a shop, and remove all the parts in question. If I got pulled over again, they would tow the car...f*uck that. So I had to go see the state ref, and he signed it all off for me after I passed the inspection and sniffer...went to the judge and got it cleared. Did you just get the exhaust ticket, or did you get a smog ticket too?
