I got a fix it ticket for my exhaust/tail pipes....I have my stock exhaust and I can re-install it, but for those of you guys who've had to go to get the fix it signed off, do you know if they do the mirror test (ie check for cats)?

I have ART pipes on my car and its a PITA to swap cats in/out, so I'd rather not have to do it if all they'll do when they sign off my exhaust is do a visual check the muffler....

 

Some places are going to be more relaxed about fix it tickets than others. I've heard stories where people have gone to the police station to get something signed off, the officer looks out the window to see their car, and they just sign the ticket without even really inspecting anything. Other people aren't so lucky though.

 

+1. I've had the same thing happen to me.

 

In a good way or in a bad way?

 

The cop just looked out the window, said he saw me pulling into a parking spot and wrote it off without going outside to get a closer look.

 

i had one for no front plate
saw a couple cops chatting in the ikea parking lot, they didnt even check my car.

said it was obv a rookie who gave me the ticket for no front plate.

 

Lucky! Last fix it ticket I had they made sure it was corrected the right way haha. Thankfully it was just a front plate ticket.

 

Look for the girl cops I've had two fix it tixs signed off they don't even bother looking..

 

I got a fix it ticket for running tp and single exhaust and had to take it to the location specifically in santa ana. He peeked out the door and told me to start the car. I kept the tp's but installed the stock exhaust and he said good to go.

 

Btw, arts are quieter than regular resonated test pipes, which I had on mine with stock exhaust, so you should be good on the sound test.
