But the cop can still ticket anyone he wants if the exhaust is not stock, and he believes it MAY be over the legal limit. I've never heard of the Smog monitoring devices on roadways, but I have heard of the portable smog dynos that they have used in the past at the races.

Ask the cop to pull out his DBCT or DB Confirmation Tool. If he does not have one then you may ask him how he is so sure that your exhaust exceeds that noise level. Take your receipt and print out to court to fight it. The ticket is not appropriate if you were within parameters. The cop obviously thinks he can measure decibels like the Terminator.
BTW, here is a pic of the guy testing it:
