The appearance alone when I snap a digital pic during the stop will prove my case. The sound is just something that I (and any back-up on scene) would testify to in court. The ricers who have them are usually doing something else stupid to boot. They are regularly trying to impress other ricers or a nearby Mustang or Hemi or something. I don't write them much unless the person I stopped has a confrontational attitude. It's rare for me to write it because I have a mild mod exhaust too . They (the courts) don't make them remove it, but if they keep it on they could face more cites if their observed driving around again.

Thanks, I was curious about the mechanics of it. The stock Z06 exhaust is not MILD at all at WOT, and I have heard other vehicles (mostly pickup trucks) that have a pretty hefty tone to the exhaust.
