That's where you went wrong... if an officer suspects you in violation of a regulation, the officer won't listen to your reasoning and will cite you for it unless you have some compelling evidence on the spot to prove otherwise.

Don't argue with an officer. It's like arguing on the internet, but with legal consequences...

95db or less. The CA state referee used to have a testing program that allowed your exhaust to be "certified" if you got an exhaust ticket. IMO this was one of the most forward-thinking programs in the country as it allowed people that got exhaust tickets to have it certified, then show the certification if pulled over.

Unfortunately this program was canned in CA after the state almost went bankrupt a few years back.
