Default Exhaust ticket from stock exhaust help

Ok i drive that rx7 thats in my sig. I just got a exhaust ticket for my car, the thing is the exhaust is stock spec. I have like 1 1/2 inch tip dual exhaust. Each side being 1 1/2Inch so its not one of those coffee cans straped to the back of it. I went and had a mazda certified mechanic take a look at the exhaust and he wrote it up as being stock sounding. I had the car inspected at the station 30min after i got the ticket and they signed off on it. My question is is there anything i can do to get it so that the cops cant give me tickets for it, like have something from a judge signing off on it saying that its factory or what ever?

But in the mean-time, you might want to talk to the Sherrif's office and ask if there's some kind of document you can carry in your car that certifies your exhaust's stockness. I'd just ask what they'd accept, on account of your getting a ticket for factory running gear. They should have something to say to that.

You can also go to court, and take all the evidence with you that will prove it to be stock. A piddling little equipment violation such as a dim tag light will print out on your Driving record as "operating a vehicle in an unsafe condition or illegal manner............."; or words to that effect.
To most people, those words "unsafe condition"; sound like bald tires and no brakes. Far different than what it actually was.-Bob

So wait, you have stock exhaust or, "Stock sounding," exhaust? Unless it's what Mazda put on the car in the factory, it's technically illegal. Suck it up.
