Unhappy State ref

I just got state ref for my exhuast..
the cop said something about a baffle missing on my exhuast. He said if I get the silencer for the exhuast it would pass state ref.
Is this true
soo right now if anyone has a helix silencer for sale
hit me up I'll pick it up asap

The ref is supposed to check the db level...which is suppose to be under i think 95. But it also depends on what you were cited for cuz there is a VC that states any kind of modification to your exhaust is illegal.

Welcome to a year ago. And thats long over.

Just a little piece of advice, if you go in there trying to pull one on them you'll probably fail. Just do it right the first time.

Throw on your OEM catback if you have it.

Another guy (Willow) got pinched in the same area, look him up and see what he did about it
