$45 for an exhaus ticket? sounds like a bargain. once again, there is state ref to handle all the BS. any paperwork outside of state ref certificate is useless junk. even if you do take paperwork from nismo/nissan to the judge, who's to say that he wont turn around and make you prove that you do actually have a legit nismo exhaust and not some crap a muffler shop bolted up for you. what will you tell the judge then?
i'd kindly take him out side and grab his head to force him to see where it says NISMO on the exhaust!

and not just for noise either sir. CARB exhaust must be certified, which means just because a company makes a dual exhaust for a Z does not mean it is CARB cert. Companies pay big bucks to get their "stuff" certified in this state, Hence Vortech, K&N, GReddy etc.

I find it ****ing retarded how you can get a ticket for your exhaust being loud when it's a factory exhaust and the fact that exhaust on harleys and **** are 10 times louder than your exhaust its just jelous cops man I got pulled over the other day for having my music too loud and the cop quizzed me and wasted about 10 minutes of my time. jealous cops who got beat up in highschool, theres no way that will go through in court, I know here where I live if the cop thinks theres an illegal mod on your car he has to have the ministry of transportation come out and inspect the vehicle then and there.

I've been pulled over for tinted taillights here in so cal too, i asked the guy what the law was on it and he said you have to be able to see red from 1000 feet. i had my buddy press on the breaks for me and i walked a distance behind my car with the cop and it was clearly red in day light so he just gave me a verbal warning and just told me to take it off. so you might just wanna look up to see if that is what the law is

Lol well I guess I didn't get pulled over just for the music... I have an electric license plate on the front of my car that hides and appears with the touch of a button and drive with my plate down, So first he brought up the plate and i said it was there and he went and looked... he comes back with this confused look on his face... I'm trying not to laugh lol... anyways he starts asking me is it my car, who bought it, how old I am... (19), asked me for the ownership and insurance, then once he was done with that he proceeded to say "just a word of advice, keep your music down" and I said is there a law against that? and he said yeah it's a $300 unnecessary noise and I said well how do you determine what's too loud? and he said it's my discretion and I said what you don't like country music? and he said it doesn't matter I shouldn't have to listen to your music while I'm in my car... and I said your telling me for 20-30 seconds your behind me at a light your annoyed with my music? I guess that's why you became a cop and he said would you like a ticket? and he pulled me over in my work parking lot so I just said sure leave it on my window im late for work. I came out and there was no ticket there haha

If its sold at a dealership, than its street legal hands down
****ing stupid how a quiet NISMO exhaust is illegal when motorcycles that are 60x louder are roaring around everywhere.
