The above fines are as of today in Yolo County, fines change periodically so what is mentioned today may be different later this year. Also fines differ based on county/city so these fines may not reflect your area.

As far as enforcement, nothing has really changed. To paraphrase, he said, if he can hear you before he sees you, it's usually excessive. He also mentioned that they go to training periodically specifically for spotting stock vs modified parts.

Just one officer's response though, so take it however you want. I trust the guy, been working with him and the department for 10 years. For the last 4 years I've had my exhaust, I've never had any issues, so I'm not worried.
Again, one officer, one jurisdiction.

Just for shits and giggles, we also talked a bit about loud music, since some people were bringing that up. There are similar laws that apply to that of which you can be fined and receive a point on your license.
