<![CDATA[take it to court?]]>I got an exhibition driving ticket last night becuase the cop thought my blow-off valve was me "barking" my tires. I wasnt getting on it at all i was just merging over a lane. he heard drifterextremes open downpipe and thought it was me, then heard me "bark" my tires. he gave me a 10 minute long lecture about how any modifications to your exhaust in the "great state of north dakota" was illegal. even though my exhuast is almost quieter than stock. think its worth taking to court? i figure i would show a little video clip of how he couldnt of heard my car from where he was at and my blow-off valve makes a noise that could be mistaken for tires breaking loose. 150 bucks is alot to a broke college student!

There have been times when cops will "let you off" with only 10 over vs the 15 over you were doing, people will contest it, and the cop will then change it back to the 15 over if you lose the court appeal and then you get d'd in the b 2x.

Then you get to meet your public defender (free) and ask him all the questions you want. All us forum guys have opinions and advise, but a lawyer knows the law and what you best options are.

That ricer lingo means nothing to me 😛 jk joel. I take it that it's aftermarket and thus not CARB legal. If not, depends on if he's willing to swap it out with stock really quick, OR, weld on some cat. guards so if it's uncatted it will appear to have cats on it.

Just make sure you have CARB legal exhaust so if the judge trys to bring any of that up, or the officer, you can have them inspect the vehicle and show that it's fully CARB legal.
