emission testing

[COGCaviZ24]

i need a good emissions place. i live in hall co.(emissions is not required). i got a ticket last month for "improper exhaust" and there is nothing improper about my exaust. i want to do an emission test so i can have it in court (i'm going to put it on my lift and take a picure of the exhaust system) i don't want to take my car to some rinky dink whole in a wall place. reasonible price would be great.

[Hulud]

so what constitutes "improper exhaust"?

by the law i mean

im sure the 'improper exhaust' ticket has nothing to do with emmisions testing..a cop cant give you a ticket because he things you're not passing emmisions.... im sure they gave y0ou the ticket because your exhaust was too loud.

that is unless you are running straight pipes when you arent allowed to.

[COGCaviZ24]

that's what he was trying to get me for but according the law for improper exhaust, there no mention of exhaust sound (that falls under disturbing the peace). and under the comments of the ticket he wrote "dual hollow tips no internal emissions"

i got everything, cat., resinator/muffler, and tips. only the tips are visible from the back of the car(muffler is under the middle of the car). the previous owner of the car had the system installed, so i don't know if the cat is real or not(test cat, hollowed out, etc).


btw, my exhaust isn't loud. louder than stock, but not ricer loud. it's got a nice low, sporty sound to it. i don't see how the cop even heard it. i passed him doing 55mph at 1500rpm with the cruise set. he had his windows up
