I say just eat the 85$ and pay the ticket, most judges in Fairfax County are dicks when it comes to exhaust and shit like this. You can try and argue that the exhaust is "50 state Legal" but I dont think it will help you much.....

I got pulled over in Va for an exhaust even though I live in MD. He was like exhaust means I'm racing. Then he just gave me a warning and ask if i was drinking.

I got pulled over by tyson's for my car's exhaust. The lady officer pulled me out of the car and was telling me that it was illegal. She saw that it was my birthday that day, and said she would be nice and give me a warning ticket because I was polite and it was my birthday. She said most cops won't write tickets unless the driver is a dick about everything, in which case I guess they do deserve one. If you really wanted to push this forward, not sure if its worth $85, but you can take the claim that its 50 state legal claim to court. If the court decides that you're still at fault, contact the manufacturer of the exhaust and tell them to reimburse you for false advertisement, which if they don't then you can sue them. On the other hand, you can just pay the fine and just move on. Post how it went, pz

If you read the code of Virginia it reads that anyone driving on the streets of VA must abide by the laws of Virginia regardless of where your car is registered.

50 state legal means that it is legal in all 50 states for smog pollution. NOT for being legal for modding.
