Just because a cop CLAIMS that your exhaust is inadequate is not a valid reason to force you to change it at all until it is proven that your exhaust is inadequate, there's another thing I would fight all the way to the grave.
AS was proven in my case. My exhaust was proven by the bar to be adequate, the cop was WRONG...
The idea that a ticket can be written and then before you even get your day in court to be proven to be guilty, you can be cited for not changing what may have not even been a violation in the first place is ridiculous.
I'm getting incensed now at some of the things I'm reading.
The ref that tested my car brought it to redline and left it there for several seconds to even get the car to read as loud as it did, something I almost never do.

Uh, you do realize how the law works right?
I'm not going to type a long reply out but in the case of traffic tickets and vehicle code violations, it's just a citation for you to do one of 3 things: 1) fix it, 2) prove your innocence, 3) pay the fine.
Did you even read what I wrote? No one is forcing you to change anything, the law is just saying "If you are suspected of modifying emissions equipment, you should have it verified/signed off before you continually drive the car". Recourses include fixing the violation, getting a 3rd party verification that is it not a violation, or provide the paperwork up front that it is street legal (i.e. showing CARB paperwork, etc)
I actually think the law is very fair (once I got around to understanding it).
