Re: Have you gone to court to for exhaust ticket?
x2
I've gotten away with exhaust BS numerous times in Fairfax County. You need to find out how cool the judge is. There are always lawyers in the court room present. Just ask one of the lawyers how the judge is. They usually know all of the judges. The majority of them are pretty nice.
Speaking with proper manner is important too. Always end your statements in "sir" or "your honor", but don't suck up like an idiot. I've seen this one speeding case where this guy was explaining his situation and in one part he says "I thank officer blah blah for his good work in pulling me over and informing me of my speed ". I loled on the inside. He got full penalty for being an idiot.
But ya, don't plead innocent. That implies that you did not have an illegal exhaust, which is not the case. Don't plead guilty either, unless you give an explanation. No contest is usually the thing you want to say.

I bought my Subaru from the dealership with a performance exhaust installed and warrantied by the dealership. If you get pulled over for a dealer-installed exhaust, have the cop contact your dealer, or show proof that it's installed by the dealer.
You should never get a ticket for something approved by a dealership.

If you have and EVO/STI or any other car with a large factory exhaust tip you'll still get ticketed.
Happened to a friend of mine, got a ticket for exhaust on his STI even though his exhaust was STOCK.
