Good tip thats what I think I most likely am gonna do just pay the fine I think its a point on record learned my lesson for sure.

It's not a moving violation. Therefore, its not a point on your license. That's why you just pay these things and get over it.

Wow I must say I just read a lot of mumbo jumbo.
I just closed out my loud/ modified exhaust ticket.
I didn't have to go to state referee I just had a cop that comes into my work sign it off. Also I'm running same setup exhaust as you and I just smogged my car 3 months ago With the exhaust, 19lb injectors and open element air filter. That was at a state smog center no shady business.
Anyways good luck. If you are suppose to go to state referee you would have been notified. Check the back of the ticket for a area for it to be signed off should be.

I'm not saying you're wrong but the last 4 times I got a ticket for a loud exhaust it was a fine and not a ref ticket.

Think of it this way OP. You got a ticket for being a public nuisance for being too loud. Not because your car doesn't have the proper emission controls. It is the same ticket they would give a loud ass Harley.

You gotta pay to play. If you don't want to continue to get pulled over put a stock muffler back on. If you do so, you can always go to court, plead guilty, show the judge a receipt from a exhaust shop that you put a stock muffler back on, and if he's nice he'll reduce the fine to just court fees.

Honestly though, it just depends on what this is all worth to you. When I was 16 years old I had time and no money so I fought tickets like these in court. Now, I would lose more money taking a day off and trying to fight it rather then just paying the fine. It all comes down to what your time is worth.

Which ever way you decide to go, best of luck.

just pay and play. no reason to fight it. Next time he might drive a lil less aggressive. All citys are different. He in Torrance ( still LA county ) as long as you arnt driving like a tard and doing stupid shit they wont fuck with you. Ive had my spin tech for 3 months now and have plenty of times with cops next to me.( lots of back fire ) Look happy and dont drive like a tard. Know when and where to be loud.
my shits kinda loud and notta , my dring times are usually from 1pm to 3am

best bet is to pay up and go on dude. No offence your young and havent had your shear of tickets yet. beter luck next time.

vid of my current set up, its pretty loud when i get on it , but i know how to use it

99% of the time a modified exhaust ticket requires a visit to a state referee.

So it is no longer free? I have to pay?

[happycamper]

Yea it doesnt mention anything about state referee but the cop that pulled me over said I could take it to a smog shop and get a decible reading and the judge might let me off. I am willing to go if its a free inspection the only thing I'm worried about is I heard if you don't pass smog or w/e they won't even bother doing a sound check I don't think my car will pass smog at least last time it didn't I have 19lb injects use to have a chip took that out. But yea could you hit me up with that number for referee?

that option was available when they closed the state referees down for a bit but since then that no longer happens

Why are conclusions being jumped to?

His ticket mentions nothing about the referee.

I just googled it and they changed the law in 2001. It is no longer correctable but check this out...

WOW.... i went to the link that guy made a good point....

" the violation is non-correctable, but if you get this ticket the State is still doing free inpsections. so, if you pass, the judge will dismiss the ticket. I got mine inspected at LA trade tech in downtown LA, you have to call to make an appt, but its real easy. And no, they dont care if you have no cats "

damn that sucks man! when i got a exhaust ticket back in 05-06, i had to go to a ref and do a sound check. then i had to go to court to see a judge to show them that my exhaust was corrected. was at the court for 6 hours just to pay only $10!!!

every ref ticket i've seen has a sticker on the back directing you to go to the state referee
