<![CDATA[ticket]]>yeah so me and a friend were driving around in his built 1g talon with a 3inch side exit exhaust, and a cop pulled us over and gave him a exhibition ticket for his exhaust. but we werent even going fast, spinning the tires or anything, just getting up to 20mph at like 8th throttle. and we have a friend infront of us as a whitness saying the same thing.

i guess what i am asking is what should we do and is this right.

thanks, jon

and yes it does change here in sd.. i had a exhibition driving when i was 15 and when i turned 18 they wiped my slate clean

Just go to the perscribed court date and time and explain it to the judge.

but his dad is going to talk to a lawyer and try and fight it

Good luck :icon_thumright:

put a muffler on it.

I fought mine and won for the same. Reduced down to exhaust. They can get you if they can prove the operator of the vehicle was the cause, ie, revving engine. If the vehicle is just plain loud on its own then they must get you on the exhaust ticket and not exhibition.
