Question on fix-it ticket

[iLOVEmyS13]

Okay so i leaving my neighborhood when a cop pulls me over and gives me a fix it ticket for my tint and for my muffler. I have a no name brand ebay dual canister n1 style muffler with stock piping and a magnaflow catalytic converter. my question is, is there a way i can silence them or make them quieter? my exhaust setup isnt even aftermarket idk why its so loud..

Also as far as the ticket, how does this work? how long do i have to "fix it" and when they say fix my muffler. do i have to put the stock one back on or can i have them inspect it after i make it quieter some how?


I would appreciate it if there were no sarcastic posts also, i really need help with this thanks.

[jorge1190]

it really depends on the cop where i live. One cop told me to just quiet it down because mine doesnt stick out like a sore thumb but other have told me to put stock exhaust on. If its only axle back why not just throw stock back on and then switch it.

Well i think this cop wants me to switch to stock. so i have no choice for that, but when i do eventually switch it back. is there a way i can quiet it down significantly? would this be because there's two canisters vs one?

also, none of it is bolted on. everything is welded on. so it will be very hard for me to reverse. how long do i have to fix all this?

[Maiku240sxS14]

Sarcastic remarks....but you make it SOO easy.

Well of course you can make them quieter...ever heard of silencers? Check Apexi website and look at the real Dual N1, they have optional silencers you can buy. Come to think of it I think I still have my silencers for real Duals. Not sure if they would fit yours tho. If your interested I can sell them to ya...

Do you not have your stock exhaust?

I dont see how i make it easy for you to post sarcastically.. but whatever.

I have heard of silencers, mine came with them. i put them in right after i got the ticket and unfortunately for some odd reason. it didn't do much of a good job silencing it.

I have the stock exhaust.

[Maiku240sxS14]

Are you sure you don't have an exhaust leak...? I don't see how your silencers won't quiet down your exhaust.

[iLOVEmyS13]

Are you sure you don't have an exhaust leak...? I don't see how your silencers won't quiet down your exhaust.

i dont think so, i mean i dont hear any leak.

let me tell you exactly what was done to the car.
and please, no sarcasm. it was done on a budget, so slap me.

k, so i bought the car 3 weeks ago and it wouldnt pass smog. i did regular maintanencer changed the plugs wires and o2 sensor. and still wouldnt pass. the guy told me i needed a new cat, so i got a new one. the guy who did it for me though did it wrong, instead of bolting the cat up with the regular rear flange, he cut and welded it directly to the pipe. so basically its a catback.. or maybe not im not sure. and then when i got my muffler we cut the old one off and tried our best to weld the new one on. unfortunately we didnt do the job right and at the moment have 3 different couplets and 2 clamps holding the muffler to the stock pipe. i dont know if that has anything to do with why its so loud, but i really need help with this. what do you recommend i do?

[iLOVEmyS13]

i can take a picture of what the setup looks like, if that helps at all?

[Maiku240sxS14]

Yes pictures would help. But from what you are saying it seems highly that you have an exhaust leak. While your at it take a picture of your silencers.

[abunai the drifter]

here's my 2cent pay the ticket cause they dont check to see if repairs have been done they just want the cash i've gotten a few of these tickets just be easy on the gas :2f2f:

[bl3ujay07]

put your stock exhaust back on. done deal.

[kushlivin]

BoO Who bOo whO quit being a pussy. never happened to me but obviously get it back to stock cus anything aftermarket is illegal get it looked at by someone appointed by the cops/court then when thats fixed go home and put ur loud ass one back on.. See simple

^^^^^shut up.


to the OP

1. just pay the ticket and leave it on.
2. turn it stock. pay the paper filing fees get it checked. then put your aftermarket one back on

Paying the bail is a terrible idea.

Your best bet is to go to a ref station with that current exhaust you have on and see if it passes the decibel meter.

If it fails put the stock one on, go to traffic court and pay the $10 correction fee and move on with your life.

[zenki.life]

it is not if it said he welded everything. to me the 250 dollars would be worth the hassle

[5t341tH]

a notice will arrive in your mail.
it will probably give you 2 months.

put your stock one back on. remove your tint. take it to any cop station or a random cop on the street and ask him to sign off your ticket.
fixit tickets went up in price. its no longer $10, its $25 now. mail it in with 25+ dollars and be on your merry way

[iLOVEmyS13]

So how long do i have to get it fixed?
how much are fix it tickets anyways?

will exhaust leak, really make it sound louder?

Here is a link to a couple photos of the exhaust.

That's cool, its nice to know someone is FLOURISHING during the recession.

Not everyone has $250 to just give away to the government.

It takes like 30 minutes to change an exhaust.

How long they give you to get it fixed? I'm not sure, you can always get an extension if you need one.

Fix it ticket bail will come on the letter they send you in the mail. Did he mark your ticket as correctable? If so you don't even need to go to a ref station, just put your stock exhaust on, and show a cop.

An exhaust leak will make your car wayyyyy unnecessarily loud. If you have one, get new gaskets or whatever you need to fix that exhaust leak.

Get rid of that ugly ass exhaust system, you're not fooling anyone with that stock piping, its just tacky. :dead:

[ayuaddict]

what i did every time.

buy one of these (http://motors.shop.ebay.com/__?_from=R40&_trksid=p3841.m39.l1313&_nkw=exhaust+silencer&_sacat=) in the appropriate dia.

throw it (them - in your case) on and go look for a cop to sign your shit off.

younger cops chilling in groups tend to be nice.

[hOngsterr]

put more resonators! i have two on mine!

Once you get the notice in the mail it will have a due date to pay it. Not sure but it should give you a couple of options for the ticket, whether to correct it and have it signed off by a ref stationor or just pay for the citation. But the due date is on the ticket and you can get an extention if you need.

Yes an exhaust leak can make it louder but depending on the size of the leak.

[Maiku240sxS14]

it pretty hard to tell in the pic of the welds on the exhaust. I would suggest just putting on the stock one for now to get it signed off and then work on the exhaust.

Jack up the car and turn the engine on the climb down there and see if there's an exhaust leak.

Your really making something out of nothing. But I guess we all learn somehow. the silencers you have SHOULD make your exhaust quiet, so i'm leaning on an exhaust leak.

Good luck

[MannylovesLian]

by law you are allowed to modify your exhaust if you vehicle weighs less that 4000 lbs or something like that.

[iLOVEmyS13]

I don't have a welder, i had my dads friend weld it. he's gone on business with the welder. so i guess im just sol...

Does someone have a stock s13 exhaust system they could lend me for a day? i'll pick up/drop off and pay cash to borrow an exhaust so i can get it reffed.

[ixfxi]

I have a no name brand ebay dual canister n1 style muffler with.....................

................my exhaust setup isnt even aftermarket idk why its so loud.

just curious, does NISSAN sell dual canister n1 mufflers on ebay? because just incase you didnt realize this, your muffler is aftermarket.

theres nothing wrong with exhausts that are not OEM. there IS something wrong with exhausts that are just too fucking loud.

....that, and cops that stereotype and give exhaust tickets because they can, will, and want to.

Okay your right, the muffler is aftermarket. i was saying more like the whole piping and everything.

How can i correct it then? i hate the look of the stock exhaust. i would much rather keep this muffler and just work to have it pass.

the cop was such an ass..


"I dont know why you street racers continue to do this, there's actually a nice program in california where we invite drivers and their cars to watch your cars get crushed. Would you like that?"

"i'm sure if i popped the hood, i'd find a list of violations to ticket you with"

"the monkey on your towhook, the shocker decal, and the stickers on your car all tell me, you want to race.."

"as long as we see this car on the road, we're going to keep pulling you over."

"all this is illegal, i can find ten things wrong with your car right now. but i'll do you a favor and just give you these"

[Shaminii]

I didn't read any of the post above but just take a picture of the exhaust and a stock exhaust on your car and bring it to court and tell them you switched back to factory. If you know anybody who works at shops, you can get them to write and invoice that states they changed the exhaust. I received 3 exhaust tickets at one point. I just showed a pic of the stock exhaust and have used the same pics for the next two times and had all the tickets dropped.

you got pulled over by "A COP" ... he's gonna act and behave like A COP, nothing more, nothing less. dont sit and talk or try to have tea with the guy, just shut up, let him do his business and move on.

the exhaust looks like dookie, i'de ditch that piece of shit and go with something nice, mandrel bent from the catback.... at least that would be more enjoyable.

the stickers and painted tails, well.. what are you gonna do. it attracts attention and cops will give you plenty of it. i always build my cars with a very basic appearance, but now i'm leaning away from that with the s13 (not my other cars). will i get fucked with? most definitely. will i argue with the cop when I get pulled over? absolutely not. and that right there will usually end up in me getting let off, worse case scenerio is that i end up with a license plate citation.

this is called paying the costs, or the high premium or sportscar tax. simply put, when you have a fancy car you'll get fucked with. make it look more low-key and you wont have to deal with this shit. better yet, buy an accord and keep it stock if you want to blend in with the rest of the invisible, opinionless society

[5t341tH]

lol at pics of the car. its terrible.
ur lucky he didnt give u more tickets for those dumb stickers, blacked out tails, and a ticket for being a fag with a toehook toy

[iLOVEmyS13]

Alright i went to a local shop, i had a resonator put on. a fat one, about two feet long no joke. i had the piping professionaly done, mandrel bent as someone else stated. in stainless steel, and had it angled nicely. spent $95 so it wasnt bad at all. ill post pics tomorrow

and lastly, i've put it into consideration to "quiet" my car down as far as looks. i'm going to remove all the stickers tomorrow, and just have my team sticker on there. remove anything that would result in ricer profile aswell.

all i will have is, the pipe, the towhook doll, 1 decal, and my tails tinted. as far as that everything else is stock


So with the tint removed and exhaust quieted down.
what is my next step? where do i go?

[Touge Noob S13]

WTF?! This was in Temecula? I go down there all the time and I have never been pulled over, I too had a tow hook toy(for a week then it got stolen) and stickers. Murrieta is actually worst than temecula pd but they haven't given me problems either.

yea thats what im saying.. you mustve just been at the right place. i was unfortunately at the wrong places. i hate temecula, all the cops get too bored here.

yea what is with that tow hook toy thing. is it supposed to make you drift better? just curious. ive always been too afraid of sounding like a dick to some of my friends to ask. didnt want to make em feel stupid.

[Touge Noob S13]

yea thats what im saying.. you mustve just been at the right place. i was unfortunately at the wrong places. i hate temecula, all the cops get too bored here.

I had cops right behind me and in lanes next to me but they never gave so much as a quick glance and thats it. I think its also about how you look that makes cops pull some people over.

yea what is with that tow hook toy thing. is it supposed to make you drift better? just curious. ive always been too afraid of sounding like a dick to some of my friends to ask. didnt want to make em feel stupid.

I always thought it was just something that looked funny but then I relized that I live in America where people feel so free enough to steal little things like that.

[ixfxi]

I think its also about how you look that makes cops pull some people over.

yeah, its called being suspect....

unfortunately, cops are always trying to keep the black/hispanic/asian man down..............


lucky me, i get to play the white card.... "i didnt know i couldnt do that, officer"




"in fact, i KNEW i couldnt do that........... MUAHAHA"


man i miss chappelle

The funny thing is im Mexican (people tell me I look Asian for some reason) and the one time I did get pulled over was for speeding because I was late for school. The cop just asked why I was speeding, I told him I was late, he checks my license, and tells me that I looked like a good kid and let me go. I didnt get a hood pop or any of that bs you always hear about.

Tow hook toys?

Stupid.

Just take that crap off. If you gotta have one part of your car look like a child's bedroom make it your interior.

Shockers were cool like 2 years ago, and the JDM sticker? That shit was cool like 5 years ago.

alright well i'm sorry i just got my car and license this year and wanted to be cool? i mean if i only knew about JDM when i was drifting powerwheels..

some of you guys, have attitudes. :l101:

[iLOVEmyS13]

So with the tint removed and exhaust quieted down.
what is my next step? where do i go to pay the ticket?
where do i get it reffed at?

[FaLKoN240]

where do i get it reffed at?

You quoted yourself?

If you can just get the ticket corrected, you just need to show a cop your stock exhaust and have him write it off.

[iLOVEmyS13]

You quoted yourself?

If you can just get the ticket corrected, you just need to show a cop your stock exhaust and have him write it off.

i HAVE to put the stock one on?

because i had a shop proffesionaly install and put a resonator on the aftermarket muffler to purposely quiet it down.

[ixfxi]

it doesnt matter. just leave the exhaust you have, take the muffler repair bill and bring it with you to the cop station... show him the receipt and tell him its been repaired.

they wont care, chances are they'll check it off because its quieter. worse comes to worse you gotta take it to a ref station and have them confirm the decibel level.

take my advice, most cops are more interested in citing you and adding you to "the system" then knowing that you've actually made a repair to your vehicle. i've had violations checked off without even repairing them before, and upon inspection the cop didnt inspect anything.

[mav1178]

I like how no one gave a straight/correct answer.

If you get a ticket, your best course of action is to wait for the letter from the court telling you what the fine is, and the due date.

If you got an exhaust ticket (modified exhaust blah blah), you have to have a referee station sign off on the sound. They do NOT care for whatever else is on your car, they have no legal authority to deem your car legal or otherwise.

A police station can write off tickets such as broken lights, tint, etc, however they have no jurisdiction over exhaust or emissions tickets.

So to recap:

- wait for letter from court in mail, or contact court prior to due date if you didn't get a letter.
- follow rest of instructions.

[mav1178]

I have to get it reffed? what if i have a neighbor who's a cop. can i have him sign off my ticket? and just mail it in with the paid fine?

READ what I wrote, please.

Going to a referee station can mean a smog test, can mean sound testing, can mean a ton of things. The state BAR referee in California has the power to perform SAE testing on your car, as well as deem your car in compliance with smog laws, but as I stated they don't have the authority to enforce the law (i.e. they cannot cite you for an illegal engine swap if your purpose is only to figure out if your exhaust is legal or not).

It's like going to court. The judge interprets the law but cannot "cite" you for illegal stuff, although officers can.

Frankly anyone can sign off on anything, it's just a matter of whether the court and the judge will accept what you present. If you have your dad sign off on a ticket the court will laugh at you, but if you have the proper people with the proper authority, then they may accept it.

Having a cop to sign off on an exhaust ticket doesn't mean anything unless it was something that the officer has authority to sign off on. If the exhaust ticket was written properly, you should be allowed to have the referee inspect and test it.

Frankly if you are going to pay the fine, don't even bother fixing your exhaust. It is not a moving violation and won't impact your driving record, so why go through the added expense? If you are going to fix the exhaust, then go through the proper channels and you'll just end up paying the court fee.

Think of this like a speeding ticket, you have 3 options:

- pay fine and leave it as-is
- pay fine and go to traffic school (extra cost)
- not pay fine and fight ticket, and pay court fee if you win.



do you still have a 240, BROTHER? :-)

[projectRDM]

and just have my team sticker on there. remove anything that would result in ricer profile aswell.

You have a 'team sticker' on your car, so you're already creating a ricer profile. Teams of cars, unless they're professional racing teams like F1 and Indy, are ricey as hell. Stupid as hell. Fucking retarded. How old are you, 12?

Tinted tails = rice. Plus people can't see you during the day. They don't look so cool when you get rearended.

Towhook doll = really no comment. I can't believe people still do that ghey shit. I can't believe they ever did it really.

[iLOVEmyS13]

Why do you people always talk shit on this forum.. If you re-read this whole thread. all of you people, except a few have all bashed on me and my car. saying thats gay, or thats stupid..

You don't even know me, whats the use of a forum when i cant even ask a question without getting insulted.. all of you say use the search button, okay i'm well aware that its there and available to use. but can't i ask a question directly.. a question that pertains to my situation? honestly, it would be nice to actually have useful posts from you guys. I'm just a kid, i want to learn these things too..

[mav1178]

Then do yourself a FAVOR and learn how the law works, not from what other people from other states tell you over some internet forum.

Go to the courthouse, or talk with an officer, ask what the procedures are. Talk to more than one person. Figure out what courses of action you can take.

USE YOUR RIGHTS to the fullest extent, and STOP READING INTERNET FORUMS. Yes people can help you, but do keep in mind that this is an internet forum, not a court of law, and since you were cited for a violation of a vehicle code (aka you broke a law), you should figure out what you can do to resolve this situation.

I'm not saying to not ask these questions on the internet, but if you do be prepared to be flamed, because no one really cares THAT much on the net. If you don't get flamed, no big deal. If you do, same thing.

Ultimately it's still YOUR ticket and not ours. So learn to resolve it or next time the problem comes around again.

wtf, i already typed out what you gotta do. i just got mine signed off and im giving you instructions on what you need to do. theres nothing more to ask.

put your stock one back on. its easier that way. the cop WILL ask you to start your car and go thru the rev's so he can hear it.
a notice will arrive in your mail.
it will probably give you 2 months.

[deadghost]

Take it form me, I have had about 4~6 fix tickets for my s13's, There going to send you a notice in the mail or save yourself the wait and stroll up to the station show them your replaced exhaust and fixed tint, pay the $25.00 ticket, its not bad, seriously YOU GOT IT PRETTY EASY SON. Try having your seat belts suddenly not work from a electrical short and have the fucken CHP (rookie cop) pull you over at the same time and give you a ticket for both you and your friend (my friend telling me a minute before we get pulled over that he is broke), then have the the rookie ass cop constantly ask me if I am on drugs. "no mother fucker, are you...you look like it" ~im just venting my anger, go pay your ticket and close this thread

I didn't replace the exhaust though.. I just had a shop install a resonator. Will that still pass?

holy shit your dense. in california ANY EXAUST NOT FROM THE FACTORY is not legal. soooooo. just go get a STOCK!!!!!!!! STOCK STOCK one put back on.

[mrflip69]

Stop posting that ALL aftermarket exhausts are illegal in CA. WTF do muffler shops exist for then? Offroad use only? You think people only replace their shit with OEM?

Sounds like you've been brainwashed by dumbass cops who don't know the law. The CA vehicle code is pretty clear on this fact, as long as it's below 95db, it's ok.

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc27150_2.htm

You're actually better off getting a citation, because when you do, you can go to the ref, have it tested, and now you have a certificate to go tell the cop to eat a fucking dick when they give you shit about your shiny exhaust.

[tofuboy21]

everyone shut the hell up do what you want man i used to be a cop and i got pulled over for my exhaust too... just as long as you go to court and say that you got the repairs done and show a receipt or take before and after pictures you will be fine

Try having your seat belts suddenly not work from a electrical short and have the fucken CHP (rookie cop) pull you over at the same time and give you a ticket for both you and your friend (my friend telling me a minute before we get pulled over that he is broke), then have the the rookie ass cop constantly ask me if I am on drugs. "no mother fucker, are you...you look like it" ~im just venting my anger, go pay your ticket and close this thread

holy shit your dense. in california ANY EXAUST NOT FROM THE FACTORY is not legal. soooooo. just go get a STOCK!!!!!!!! STOCK STOCK one put back on.

everyone shut the hell up do what you want man i used to be a cop and i got pulled over for my exhaust too... just as long as you go to court and say that you got the repairs done and show a receipt or take before and after pictures you will be fine



Posts like the above are the sole reason why I choose to let people argue on internet forums.

No one knows how the law works and throws out bad/misleading information.

Want to know something? Who gives a shit if you get a ticket. A ticket is ONLY VALID if it reaches the clerk and is entered into the court system. UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, all you have is a piece of paper.

There's so much more to it than just that.

CA law has been changed on exhaust tickets SPECIFICALLY to provide an unbiased method of having one's exhaust tested for legal sound limit. To say that a cop can simply sign off on an exhaust ticket is one of the following:

1) the cop doesn't know the law
2) the original citation was not written up properly
3) the court is too lazy and/or incompetent to know how to deal with VC27150
4) all of the above.

Anyhow, you guys have fun figuring out how all this works.
