First of all, a muffler has nothing to do with smog. Although a judge may not understand this. So, if I were you I'd take the car to Dodge and have the service dept. write you something saying that your exhaust is entirely stock and properly functioning. Then show that to the judge, along with pictures comparing your pipes to those on another stock SRT.

Now that you've passed the sound test ditch that Neon muffler and put the stock or better back on. And next time you drive by a cop be light on the throttle.

Dress up and address the judge only as your honor. Make eye contact and never interrupt him. Allow him to interrupt you. Assert your position logically and calmly, practice before you go in.

Hmmm, yeah but the exhaust thing is fine and dandy. he's charging me 25 bucks for that violation. the problem was my intake... the mopar CAI didn't originally come with a CARB sticker, but it does now. I haven't been able to get ahold of that. Thats the actual violation thats causing the issue. Cop wrote me up and sent me to the ref for an intake. So, logically, I don't care about the exhaust crap at this point, it's not costing me anything than annoyance. the "smog device" crap is the bigger deal...

I was being EXTREMELY light on the throttle. I always am around a cop. The cop still told me my car sounded a damn truck. I'm not about to come charging off the line with that particular setup within ear shot of ANY cop lol. Why does everyone seem to think that I run around at WOT all the time lol? It's because i have a 4 cylinder isn't it...

Thanks for ur help Enkei!!! lmk about that intake issue... did you check out that PDF???
