Ticket for my exhaust

[ZOMFGAARON]

I have a muffler delete and got pulled over for it being "too loud" come on there was at least 3-4 little Hondas that drive by while I was pulled over that sounded way louder/worse.
What are my options?
Has this happen to anyone else?

[SliverBrz]

what is your options? exactly what the officer told you.

To remove it.

You can have it checked off then put it back on.

HWP had nothing else better to do.
Had to pick on someone.
Is it a fix it ticket?

Well from what I've read the legal limit is 95db which I highly doubt my car surpasses currently. I mean it's loud but no louder then a corvette or cobra

What is the violation code on the ticket? How were you driving when the lights came on?

[Carlitoz3]

All that info is on back of the ticket

[JS + BRZ]

The track pipes are fucking loud.

They're supposed to actually test it if they feel it's louder than 95 db, it can't just be they're judgement.


Cal Veh Code § 27151 (2013)

§ 27151. Modification of exhaust systems

(a) No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor of the vehicle so that the vehicle is not in compliance with the provisions of Section 27150 or exceeds the noise limits established for the type of vehicle in Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 27200). No person shall operate a motor vehicle with an exhaust system so modified.
(b) For the purposes of exhaust systems installed on motor vehicles with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of less than 6,000 pounds, other than motorcycles, a sound level of 95 dbA or less, when tested in accordance with Society of Automotive Engineers Standard J1169 May 1998, complies with this section. Motor vehicle exhaust systems or parts thereof include, but are not limited to, nonoriginal exhaust equipment.

I read the back it looks like a fix it ticket but I have to appear in court.
I was driving slow under 3000 RPMs in traffic in Rowland heights.

Here's a video I recorded earlier today for some other form members to hear it. This is with the window rolled down and a "cold start" which usually is as loud as it get even well driving unless pushing it. It's not that loud in my opinion. At least 3 cars drove by with far louder exhaust before and after me (I was picking my fiancé up from work and had been in the area awhile)

How is this done?
I told her I felt it was unfair and she threatened to review my car further to find any other violations so I just signed it. I did get upset and did question her in a firm tone but none the less feel it was unrequited.
I get it may be breaking the law I'm not sure since I haven't measured the db's that are output but far louder cars drove by her while she sat there and I clearly saw it. I guess I'm just upset out of everyone why was I the one picked?

Not exactly sure. It's in accordance to an SAE standard. If you have any trouble, contact the SEMA action network. www.semasan.com

I would never question a female cop, that's just asking for worse things to happen

This is the kind of answer I was wanting, hoping someone knew a little about it without me having to dig. Thanks I guess next time I have to be a little more clear when posting so I don't get the "you did it deal with it" answers.
