You won't win.
Ok, for all who posted fight it and bring the documents to court IT WILL NOT HELP.
If you read the law in VA it states that the exhaust cannot be louder then stock. No matter what.
Yeah it's an old and ghey ass law. I got pulled over and fined a ticket for my TRD exhaust.

What is probably going to happen:
You are going to have to pay the court fee of $45 + whatever the judge gives you. Most likely $80. But if you get a nice judge he will say take off the exhaust take a before and after shot of your car with and without the exhaust bring it back to court and he will wave the fine.
You STILL HAVE TO PAY THE COURT FEE though. Sucks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am going to try and get a new law passed in VA to have it changed and I have SEMA backing me up.
At this point, I'm going to make a point of contacting Sen. Colgan by late summer and seek his sponsorship of the SEMA model exhaust noise legislation.
If you or anyone else wants to help out I can give you the NEW re-written exhaust law to propose. As well as the Sen. Colgans number.
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do now, until this summer since they stop taking submissions.
Good luck in court.
