Just get a diesel before '08 and you are safe from the BAR.
ur right on the DB part if its 95 it should be fine but however they can give u a ticket for the 50ft one. if they can hear it pass 50 ft u can get a ticket for that too. same as sound system.. i got one for sound system and it was 341....

27007. No driver of a vehicle shall operate, or permit the
operation of, any sound amplification system which can be heard
outside the vehicle from 50 or more feet when the vehicle is being
operated upon a highway, unless that system is being operated to
request assistance or warn of a hazardous situation.
***Update
Brought my car to a referree today and they signed it off and gave me a sticker to show that it complies with the sound regulation. It tested right under 90dB. I have to use the sticker to clear the ticket, but I made a copy to put in my car in case I get pulled over again.

This thread should come in handy for future such tickets.
I should also mention that the referee appt was free of charge. And if you are in CA, you can schedule one by calling (800) 622-7733. You can only do this if you have a citation though.

Has anyone gotten one of these in cali? How much is it just to pay it and is there any way to get it signed off without putting on the stock exhaust?
