[=======Live Fast!]

I'm glad I live in IL, only requirement is that you have a muffler

I know in Louisiana there's no inspection AT ALL.

Call the CHP and see if you can take it to them or where you can go to get it signed off, easiest and quickest option.

So I went to CHP and the officer came out listened to my car and signed off on it! Turns out you only have to go see the ref if they specify it on the back of the ticket. Thanks for everyones insight.

So I've got 15 different responses as to what to do... What is my easiest, quickest option. This is such a headache.

That is not true. Any police officer can sign it off for him.

If it is a sound level ticket THIS IS NOT TRUE!

OP, you will get a courtesy notice most likely, this will tell you your options!

op what you have to do is go to a referee. There are smog refs all around. basically what they do is inspect the vehicle to make sure it has not been tampered with or modded in any way. Then they issue you a certificate that gives the results.

Take that certificate to the court and the ticket will be waved.

bottom line is, regardless if you passed emissions, or the exhaust is stock, if you got pulled over my guess is that it is loud as shit when you accelerate because if it is literally stock, and its from the east coast, its probably tons of holes in the muffler and sounds like shit...take it to a smog referee, see if it needs to be replaced, if it does, replace it, if not, pay the fine for having a borderline loud exhaust (you know this you said it yourself) and problem solved

Its a Cali bimmer...and I was on it in 1st when they heard me. It also got louder after I installed a Shrick 284 cam and ported and polished the head. It's not all that loud when it's idling though, just when you open it up. Do they gauge the sound db at idle?

^or jam a bunch of steel wool into it if it's too loud.

I hate shitty people who do a half ass job in their job. wtf? pay for false claims!!!!

[cabriodster87]

You can cram it full of fiberglass, that should quiet it long enough to pass. I did it to mine so i could stealth home late at night. LOL (it works)

[Rsully70sev]

It depends if they marked correctable or not. I've had one in the e30 where I just had it signed off and it was $10- I also got one that was simply a fine in my Titan. Didn't have to correct anything, just had to pay $170+

Thaaaaaats California! I'm currently online paying for my "no front license plate" ticket. Got the ticket on my windshield while it was parked, fine. Put the plate on, got it signed off, was about to pay the $10 (for correcting it/$25 if you dont correct it) and I got a letter in the mail saying the Sherrif was using an old ticket book. Not correctable and it's $43 CSB.

[craiggroves91]

But it got dismissed so how is that your problem? Should have the officer who wrote it pay the fine...bet you less BS tickets would be written

In NY if you get a fix it ticket you have 24hrs to fix w.e is broken show up at the precinct and they drop it right there no fuss.
