Exhaust Fix It Ticket

Hello guys, so long story short about a month ago I got pulled over for loud exhaust. I've received the white paper in the mail a few days ago and there was no option to just pay the fine but I have to fix it instead.

My current setup:
- Dinan Axle-back exhaust
- Catless DP
- Dinan S2 tune

I was expecting there will be an option to pay the fine and move on because it's gonna cost quite a lot of money and time to swap it back to stock.

Any suggestion of what's best to do? maybe anybody knows a cop friend? LOL.

Thanks.

I say just swap to stock dp and get it signed off. I think you should be ok with the dinan exhaust and tune as they are both emissions compliant.

How loud is your car? I’ve never heard anyone getting a ticket for loud exhaust.

Can you get Dinan involved? Can't imagine Dinan would put out something that isnt legal in all states. However, you are catless. The only time I'd think its too loud is if you are going WOT, the catless setup makes it much louder.

Unless you have a sticker on the back that says "state referee certification required" you can just get it signed off by any CA peace officer from any agency and pay the court fee.
