The printed paper was never accepted by any of the officers that I dealt with.

if so, I would take that to the ref and have them measure the sound level. If you pass you will get a sticker on the back of your ticket to take to court, and if I remember correctly, keep with you after if you are pulled over for it again.

its not illegal to have an aftermarket cat back exhaust, its only illegal if it does not meet the states maximum db level.

it is illegal do do ANY modification to the exhaust, carb legal or not... it's a very strange law

cvc 27151 subsection A says that, but subsection B says it's ok to have an aftermarket muffler so long as it doesn't exceed 95 dB. Subsection B supersedes subsection A.
