PWNED in 1/10 of a mile.
Got an ticket for the same thing a few years back on my honda. Follow these steps and get certified: http://www.autorepair.ca.gov/stdPAge...n-Sep_2003.htm
I had a straight through muffler with 2.25" piping and passed with a 93db. It was a pretty loud exhaust and I'm sure the HKS will pass. From what I could remember, they place the the meter about 2 feet away from the exhast and at a 45 degree angle. The car is then taken up to 3500 RPM I think and they take that reading.
I did that after I got my cert. Cop pulled me over and said my exhaust was modified. I gave him my papers and I had a smile thinking I owned the cop, he came back with my cert and a ticket for not signaling, which I did signal. West Covina cops are crooks. My best advice, dont let them know what you have the certificate until they come back with the ticket.

Another thing, i would suggest calling to a CHP station and inquiring about where can u get ur exhaust DB levels checked by the state. So next time u can drive by a cop going 35mph on second gear, and when he stops u, u slap him with a 4 page certificate.
Good Luck.

yes you can. it happened to me. received a no front license ticket on a monday and got another on a thursday. i called and ask if this is valid because i thought you can't have two tickets for the same thing if the first hasn't been cleared yet, well i was wrong.
think about it this way, you can get a speeding ticket one day and get another right after. basically don't keep speeding. im my case i "should" put on the front license, but i probably won't. i think it makes the car look hideous.

they shouldn't allow 10 weeks for you to correct the problem(s) if that's how it's going to be.
i.e. my exhaust fix-it ticket. they are giving me 10 weeks to get that fixed...and i SHOULD be clear (in my mind) for the whole 10 weeks. i mean, what if time doesn't allow me to get the exhaust replaced (with the stock exhaust) or whatnot.
bummer. being punished for the same crime multiple times within the given correctional time is f'd up.

damn that sucks!!! who gave you the ticket, SDPD? or SDSU pd?
i had an HKS exhaust on my G for about 2 weeks. while my brother had my Fujitsubo Legalis on his G. the HKS made my G loud as fvck when combined with the MREV plus headers. i was actually glad that we made the trade because i get pulled over all the time for stuff like this. especially the NO FRONT license plate thing. i just get the stillen front license plate bracket and pay the $10 to sign it off.
and i don't have tinted windows just for this reason.
suck man, i know. believe me i feel you. good luck!

You dont have to change your exhaust for a fix it ticket...The law changed a few yrs back its your choice to keep it and take the risk of being pulled over. You just pay the fine.
And yes they can write you another ticket for the plates I got 3 tint and plate tickets in 3 weeks and had to pay for all 3

hks isn't that loud until you step on it. At the speed Calvin SAID he was going , it shouldn't of given the cop a reason to pull him over. Must've been the tint and no front license plate. unless you floored it in first gear up to 15mph...lol.
well at least you have someone in the family that can write it off.
