Lee. This test is very simple from how I seen it in person. I go in in the station. I park. CHP cop comes out says ok let me see your ticket. I show it to him. then he says ok start it up. Ill start it up, then hell say rev it a bit, and if its super quiet all hell say is ok turn it off and pass me. thats what they do. They did that to my friends 35th LE.

Then that is not legal then what that CHP officer did, or your friend got a different ticket. A modified exhaust ticket requires a BAR referee inspection.

Man I feel sorry for yall. I am in Santa Maria, Ca for work and thought I would get on and see if anything is going on around here. I am from Ft worth, Tx and exhaust isnt an issue other than emissions in certain counties, not all. The county I live in is just a regular inspection. Check blinkers, lights, wiper, etc. Pay 12.50 and go about your buisiness. I guess yall can move to Texas lol

You can get exhaust tickets even in Texas. Texas Transporation Code states: "A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working condition that continually operates to prevent excessive or unusual noise.". The key terms here are "excessive" or "unusual", which is up to an officers (and the courts) discretion. Also, this is a ticket, not a regularly scheduled inspection. We don't have any safety inspections here, just bi-annual emissions testing.

Just bad luck man. Drove around with LT's, ORY, and an open cutout for over 2 years and never got **** for it. Even when I was pulled over they just never asked or checked.

Sounds like a hassle but putting the stock **** is probably the best way to get it resolved being a sure thing.
