California law is actually pretty flexible in that it allows you to modify the exhaust as long as it complies with the sound limit. For a long time, the state BAR ran a program that allowed exhausts to be shown "in compliance" with the law. This also allowed you to have documentation ready to prove to an officer the exhaust is okay.

For OP, this is actually a great thing... if the car is ever pulled over in the future for an exhaust violation, it's basically a free pass.

But it's okay, easier to hate on California than understand what goes on in your own state.

The referee told me that an officer can still write a citation for it even if I show him the paper, and I would have to get it refereed again or pay the fine...

So yes, Comuufornia still sucks balls.
