The G2 Racer

I just got this up on Ridgeway in Mississauga. I wasn't speeding or giving the the car any gas. Just going the limit. I passed the cops, I saw her sitting their and a few second later she pulled me over. I didn't give her any hassle what so ever.

The ticket is for $110 and I'm going to fight it. But what do I go about doing? How do I get a court date for this? What do I tell them?

Help me guys.

It's a Magnaflow muffler by the way and it's not that loud. There's a pic of it in my sig.

If you weren't giving it gas then its not loud...

When you were giving it gas last night it was loud..

Fight it...

The G2 Racer

^ Thanks Arron. It only gets loud when I stomp on it. When I do 50kph like I was when I got it you can barely hear it. Touch louder then stock.

Fighting it for sure

Aaron...

The G2 Racer

oops sorry Aaron.

I know it has to be under 85dBA and I don't think it's over that at all. I'm also going to have the shop that installed it write a small letter stating that it's legal.

Magnaflow's are loud! But good luck

The G2 Racer

It really isn't that loud unless I get on it. I have a cat and resonator in place.

maybe find a place with a sound meter and do a proper sound check just to make sure.... and walk into court with some truly powerful ammo

The G2 Racer

where could I find such a place?

imported_gatherer

I dunno... I just throw out ideas and hope someone else fixes the details....

seriously yous ee sound meters for those audio competitions maybe a audio place would have one..?!?!!?!

they'll just think your an idiot if you do that.

have any old pics of your car with stock muffler??

if you do, just walk in, and dump the picture on the prosecutors desk......wait for them to call you name, go on the stand, state your name, and prepare yourself to walk out as you hear the prosecutor tell the judge that they would like the charge dismissed because you fixed the problem.

BTW, whats the charge for? excessive noise? or illegal muffler??

Anthony: You have no grounds to fight this ticket. You either got it for excessive noise or improper muffler. To my knowledge officers aren't required to submit Db levels. I ride with Peel as an Auxiliary and my partners always give these tickets.

All you can do is request a date to meet with a prosecutor to discuss your options. You only have two: plead guilty and take off the muffler, and the judge will most likely negate the ticket. Or plead not guilty and take fight it, thereby requesting a court date.

I think I warned you about your muffler.

[1sL0CiviC]

he has grounds to fight if it was an improper muffler charge, but be warned G2, if you want to argue the case ( assuming its improper muffler), be prepared to be shot down by the judge, thereby, i would suggest getting a "paralegal" to help you argue the charge, and not just reduce it.

It's up to the officer's discretion, if it's too loud or not.

Buff 'n Stuff

I've heard it, and if I were a cop, I'd certainly say that it's too loud.

Good luck, if you intend on fighting the ticket Anthony.

Well I guess you had that one comming... Just fight it, tell the judge that your old muffler had holes and you fixed the problem immediatley.

cibs

dang i said this would happen didn't i?

yeah what was the ticket for? improper muffler? or too loud or what? that might change everything...

Rice Burner

doesn't change a thing. You could get both in one shot if the officer really want's to nail you-- improper muffler and excesive noise--. I speak from experience!
