I would fight that tooth and nail !!!
Just the Enviro-Nazis flexing some muscle !
I would go to an ASE certified master mechanic and have him do a full
examination on the exhaust .
Then I would either have him come with you to court with his credentials or
have him sign a notarized afidavit explaing what he examined .
This is utter and total BULLSHIT!!!
If you are confident about what you have , then fight it till the end .
You also might wanna go to either the court house or the library and
examine the actual law that is on the books that he alleges that you are
breaking .
He should have put on the ticket the code number or whatever for the law
you were (not) breaking .
Sounds like he was just another ego-maniac cop .
