8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - CHP Bulletin on Enforcement of Exhaust Noise and Systems

Yeah But....At the top in the second paragraph this is stated.

"Excessive noise is primarily a nuisance issue rather than a safety concern, and determination of excessive noise is subjective. For this reason, enforcement personnel are to exercise sound professional judgment in making a determination of violation. The following guidelines and attached question and answer sheet (Attachment A) provide guidance to enforcement personnel regarding appropriate enforcement procedures."

Basically the officer can still issue the ticket based on "sound professional judgment". If you prove that it falls with in the legal parameters you should be able to fight the ticket and win.
