You are correct. But cops know better, and he'll just say he saw tint or the exhaust sounded loud.

Audio from his dashcam will provide evidence supporting that.

Almost no police have dash cams in Southern California. But it wouldn't hurt to fight the ticket and request all recordings. If you have a recording of him saying that he stopped you JUST because he thought you looked like you raced, you'd have a pretty good 1538.5 motion.
