I got pulled over for the same thing but with no fix a ticket. Im taking it to court. Since I got school/work Im gonna be postponing the court date till summer cause I can't make any of it. Hopefully by the time it comes he will forget about it. In addition, he said its too loud. Man what a jerk.
Also I found out that my HKS hiper is 50 state legal so that cop is gonna feel real stupid for pulling me over.
Got slapped with a modified exhaust to create noise eh? I got one of those 2.5 yrs ago in conjuntion with a 4 point 180$ racing on public highways citation for being at tradeport durring the sat. street drags back then (my last street drag event might I add and it was the only time I didnt race too hehe). That was the only other thing he could slap on me, so he did.... He just gave my friend the racing ticket even though his TT z32 had 3" pipes sticking out the back only (straight from the downpipes). He didnt even write it down right and instead wrote down the citation number as tampering with emissions controll device. They are simillar in numbers but hes still a tool.
I hate that cop as I left my lights on with a weak batt, and it died there. I had no cables and he refused to help me out. They sat there watching and getting off, like OCS cops do, at my misfortune. Not only that, but they stayed the whole time as well, and we heard them laughing. We pulled the Z 1" from my rear bumper where I disconnected my 4 awg power from my distro block (I have enough excess to reach 2' out of the trunk), and disconnected the 18" of 4 awg ground cable and attached it to the frame on the edge of the trunk reaching his batt within 1" to spare. Quick thinking got my car going again.
As for the b**** a** cop well he schedualed a new date and his paper work got lost. It was for a monday at 8 hehe and he didnt want to go to it, so he reschedualed. Anyway I showed up he didnt and I won. Then a week later I get a refile notice hehehe, awww too bad for him. Serves him right...
My friend however delayed his and the cop showed, BUT it was the week following the presidents raid where they blocked it in and handed out all the citations the cops had on hand, 144 of them in total. He got laughed at royally by the judge and all the cops in the court that day..... He got off on points but payed the fine...
