Slap a different muffler on that'll kick the ticket. It's up to you to do anything after that.
I would love to see you fight it, but we all know it'll be wasting your breath.

That's cheap!
Around here it's like a $90.00 ticket! They don't play around here I guess.

This is for Chicago. I bet your local ordinance is similar:
Chicago noise and vibration control
There is no way a police officer can validate that through his/her own hearing.
I hope you do challenge it with an official test. ÂÂÂ

hey i hope you win that fight
around here in lehighton pa the cops dont do much but they hate a loud noise! right after i got my car i got pulled over becouse my exhoust fell apart and was to loud but i did get away with it becouse it had just fallen off before i got pulled over. the cop seen that the rest tip of the muffler was still warm and droped it there.

So we're all screwed right there. I love how they give you limits and then when you contest it they refer to the very last line in the legal code that makes the rest of it all worth less and they slap you with the ticket.

Well, I live in Sudbury, ON and my exhaust is loud as hell and i have never had a problem with the police or the ministry. Even when my catylitic let go on me i drove like that for a good week before i got it fixed and never got pulled over, good luck i suppose.
