Have you done any readings of the decibel level of your aftermarket exhaust and a stock exhaust?
Unfortunately, our stock exhausts are so quiet anything would be louder. That tester could do more harm than good.

As I read the law, it does not specify that replacements have to have the same tone or db level. Only that they be comparable in function, and not excessively loud. I believe I meet these requirements under VA law. I hope to have the matter settled as simply put as your 1st post. But in reality, it make come down to "Guilty until proven innocent". I just got the car reinspected 2 days ago (2nd passed inspection with that exhaust), Have my original sales receipt for the exhaust(So I can prove that it is made as a replacement for my car and is not for off-road use), and I will have Real sound level mesurments, Vs police lies. Just in case.
