California law is pretty cut and dry - the exhaust of a car cannot exceed 95 dbl. If the officer had a certified and calibrated decimeter, then he would have a record of the offending dbl level. Its the same thing as a cop pulling you over from a LOS speed judgement, he says "you were going too fast" and then you go to court, the judge sees that he didnt actually measure your speed, and youre off the hook. The police officer can write a ticket for anything they want, but it will not stand up in court.
The only thing this guy needs is the CARB letter for the intake, and the balls to ask how the officer measured the dbl level of his exhaust. The judge will throw it out.
