It's a non moving violation. What you decide to do really matters on how much spare time you have. Your insurance doesn't care, nor should you be losing sleep over it.
You don't even need to fix it. Usually you can just make a deal with the prosecutor for a smaller fine. You'll still be guilty and they get another checkmark in the win column. Everybody wins.
An officer has no authority over withdrawing the ticket. They are merely a witness from here on out. The only help they can give is to not show up or lose their notes. It's really up to the prosecutor.
The whole thing is small potatoes. Strike a quick deal or pay the fine and move on.

I had one of those back in the days... And they wont budge unless you have done something about it like buy the silencer and show them the receipt. I had a resonator put it a week before I got the ticket. If you go in there to argue your point, I guess you have to show that you actually did something about it in order to strike a deal.
I think the fine was $110. Your gonna waste a day waiting in court, and you prolly make more than that per day so its really up to you if you have time.

Pay your fine and get on with life is the easiest I found, don't let it bother you day and night; I got a ticket for no front plate last year and you just pay your fine and forget about the douche bag that cared. And yes, driving a Z let's hope you make more than $110 a day :P.
Thankfully I didn't have to drive much this weekend, between my exhaust and having no front plate I figured if I left Barrie I would get nabbed by some hero

interesting, I've heard my share of loud exhaust, i've never seen amuse up there in the list haha. I have a nismo y pipe as well, but no hfcs..hfcs is likely what's bringing all the (beautiful) noise! :P
i don't have a video cam for now..^^ but amuse R1 with HFC and Y pipe is really loud...
haha, i got pulled over twice in one week for no front plates a few years ago, so i right after that i put on my front plate. (second guy let me go cause i told him i just got a ticket literally a few days ago and did not have the time to remedy the issue).
Fair, you should fight every ticket... and so should everyone else here for the first and simple reason that the legal system is astronomically clogged (especially if you're in the GTA) and you can get a dismissal on the grounds of an unfair trial time wait, which tens of thousands of tickets are tossed out in ontario per year as a result of.
110$ isn't monumental, certainly, but it could be more money in your pocket for that reason alone... and if the offer doesn't show you will not get convicted for that ticket.
Where were you pulled over and was it by the regional police or the OPP? This also is generally a large factor, if its regional there's a far larger chance the officer *will* show... 4 1/2 hours of overtime for a 10 minute appearance sounds like a good deal to me. OPP... not so much.. as interesting as it sounds, usually have 'bigger fish to try' than non moving violations in court. Having several friends now in the police force plus having dealt successfully with the withdrawal of a relatively serious charge, I became slightly more familiar with the system lol.
Anyways, let us know.

The whole notion your ticket is going to get thrown out because of a Charter of Rights offense due to trial time is wishful thinking. In fact, many cities no longer mail your trial date (eg. Mississauga) and will give you a trial date on the spot well within a reasonable amount of time. Even if they don't, most courtrooms will tell you too bad so sad that the norm is a year plus. Most courtrooms will only really take a Charter of Rights violation due to time into consideration when your trial has been postponed due to the fault of the courts or the prosecution.
Even so, you have to file your motion well in advance of your next court date so you don't look like a bozo complaining about long wait times when you're sending things in 5 days before trial. You've now lost 2 days of work, and you've had to do plenty of research on how to properly file a 11b motion and still hope for the best. Let's not forget most people don't live directly beside the courtroom where their trial is being held.
The worst thing someone can do when they go to court is just hope the officer doesn't show up. In most cases you will be in a courtroom with other people the officer has pulled over. They do this on purpose. It's not uncommon that an officer won't be present, but it's definitely not common.
You've now lost days of work, gas, parking (which isn't free at a lot of courtrooms especially within Toronto), time, and stress. For what? A $100 exhaust ticket that will never affect your life ever again once it's paid? Save the fighting over things worth fighting over like a moving violation. This is not one of them.
