"excessive noise" has to do with decibal levels..........soo, if he did not have a decibal meter he cannot prove that you were over the limit, which i beleive is around 93 decibels...take it to court and have the cop show up.........BS

California vehicle code says 95 dB(A). But it is also a very vague set of rules that leave the door open to the interpretation that any modification that increases emissions (including noise) is illegal, regardless of whether the car exceeds 95 dB(A). Whether the officer can tell the difference between this car and a stock Evo is beyond me. Why the owner agreed to start and rev the car is also beyond me.

yeah, i've gotten a couple of tickets for "modified exhaust", thats when i used to live in riverside, ca. i live in rancho cucamonga, ca and the cops dont really care over here. I just paid the 190 because I had been through the drama of taking it off and then putting it back on and going to court and it was boring, so i just paid the darn thing . I think they pull me over because i have a greddy single exit and it "looks" modified, but it sounds nice . Don't do stupid stuff on public streets, lesson learned.

I've been pulled over multiple times for this. The law states anything OTHER than stock is illegal.. which is the most retarded thing ever because they offer sport exhaust systems from factory. How would a cop know? Here in WA all you have to do is bring in a picture of the stock exhaust put back on. But I never took mine off lol its only if the cop wants to be a complete a-hole and write you one. The way I see it you didn't have to do ANYTHING the cop told you too like turn it on and rev it. He had no reason for it? All I would have said was no lol. Probably wouldv'e gave you a ticket anyways but easier to fight.

You were drifting on a public beach and you DONT expect that the Police are going to give you a ticket? Really? They will be looking hard to teach you a lesson....
I am positive that any reasonably safe roadside inspection is within the law. What I would NEVER do is refuse to turn your car on or refuse to cooperate when asked.... you don’t know what their grounds are, and if you start refusing what Police tell you to do during a lawful investigation you are likely going to get yourself arrested and your vehicle siezed.

Don't break the law. If you do and get caught, don't ***** about it. Man up and take responsibility for your shenanigans.
Cops really don't care about cars around here. Tint is most likely to get you in trouble and loud stereos in some areas, but exhaust? No. I got pulled over in my modified WRX doing 74 in a 55. Completely illegal exhaust (bellmouth Invidia N1, 3" test and 3" Megan CBE...also catless), borderline tint and speeding my *** off. I got a warning.
You get screwed around here with emissions....My county has it, the next one over doesn't.
