oh, and denial of permission for an officer to check your car is not grounds for cause. if he says your exhaust is too loud, make him show you a decibell meter of your cars exhuast over 93db.

They can inspect your car with or without probable cause, and if you refuse to let them inspect your car, they can have it impounded and or you arrested.

They said pop my hood. And my ticket is just a fix it. He said I could just put a sliencer on it to get it signed off. I have one so its not a big deal. Its just funny I have lived and drive in folsom for the last year and a half with my car and I just now get pulled over for it. Ive been pulled over by fpd 3 times for other issues and they have never said once anything about my exhaust. oh well. I'm not changing anything. He also aked me what was with all my racing "stuff" and I said, "what racing stuff?" and he said my turbo gauge. And I said it was stock. He then asked if my exhaust was stock. I should of said yes to see what he would do. Maybe next time.

usually modified exhaust citations have to go through the state ref. they're put a sticker over the area where you can get it signed off that says "clear through state ref only". When i got a ticket for my tinted windows and exhaust, it said "clear through chp only"

If you do not submit to the search, you will have your car towed and impounded.
Does it happen? sure it does.
Is it legal? probably not but no one with any money has tried to fight it yet and get it to a high enough court for them to rule the law unconstutional.
I got an idea.. how bout you go drive around and get pulled over, and then you can fight it for us and take it to the state supreme court

PROBABLE cause is a aftermarket MUFFLER on your car. if you have one you can get stopped and they can check whatever. IF my Subaru smells like weed and i get pulled over he can search my car for weed. if you changed your exhuast thats a damn good reason to check for intake or blow off valve
im no cop im sure if you are or have a bunch of friends who are. cops want me to pop my hood for speeding or no front plate whatever reason they feel like saying
if you in a private lot you must have already must be a ****head for buring your tires. why else would they ask
