As the officer told me when I was pulled over, it is illegal to deviate from stock, this was the state statute he cited me for (316.272).

I didn't quote any statutes just my interpretation of the rules.
I have run extremely loud and illegal exhaust on my cars for over 2 years and never gotten a ticket or even pulled over for it, however if I do I will simply pay the fine and move on with my life, because I made the choice to run illegal exhaust.
The law is up to the interpretation of the officer that cites you, that is his job, if he says it is excessive then you get a ticket.
