As im waiting for the light to turn green a cop comes up to my window askin if that was necessary and ask for my licence and to pull over. Im so confused at this point, so I pull over shut the car off windows down blinkers on. Cop comes up to my window and ask why i revved my engine? I told him I did nothin of the sort the revs might of gotten up to 2k rpm from it down shifting but thats really it.
He takes me info and PBA cards and goes missing for 15 mins. When he comes back hes basically throws my documents back at me and tells me not to do that S*** again. When I see he gives me a summons for loud exhaust!!! Court date for 6/17/13.
On the summons it says white Infiniti, not Nissan. Also I am licenced in Jersey and car is registered in Nj aswell.
What do you guys think I should do?

If the info is wrong, then most likely it gets tossed.
Also, NYC has a no aftermarket exhaust law. I had the same thing happen with my old car with an HKS. Not sure how they handle it if you have jersey plates or if you have an aftermarket or OEM. If you can prove that you have an OEM exhaust, then it'll get tossed.
Downshift from 3rd to 1st? Usually I just put it in neutral and coast/brake to stop.
