he gave me a repair order and a $50 fine.then he said any local shop will just write the ticket off but i would eventually get caught again
Huh......here we go again, back in the day I got pulled over for my exhaust on my 200, (had the stillen muff back then) the cop said his usually BS of why i was pulled over and said to take it to any inspection station to get it fixed, so i took it to a local shop and the tech failed it because the muffler was too "Loud" and it was "Not" OEM or equivelent per the MD rule book, so i asked them what is considered equivelent? They gave me a BS answer, not to mention that MD do not have a DB level requirement for exhaust, so i contacted the state trooper who was incharge of that particular shop, i met the tropper at the shop, the trooper made them put my car on the lift, he looked at what i had (headers and stillen muffler) looked at the tech and said "pass it" the trooper told me that as long as i do not reroute the exhaust piping any different from OEM (make dual exhaust or something) Im ok, he took pictures of my headers and said they are legal.
A few months later i saw the same cop who wrote me the ticket, but this time I had the Greddy exhaust gleaming in his face........What!
Another cop pulled me for my exhaust and asked what size it was, i said 60MM, he had the DUH look on his face........
