is your exhaust a bolt on or weld on?
if it's bolt on i suggest u put back ur stock one...at that day..
and after put it back.....that will get u off pretty much..
cause i got a ticket for exhaust the cop told me to change back
the original and he'll drop it....but than mine was weld on...
don't want to waste the time....and money to take it off..

If you can prove that you have a cat, resonater, and its not too loud you should get off.
Take a picture of the set up and show him what you have, or get a mechanic to represent for you at court.
From Hta usefull notes:
Muffler - You’re allowed to change the muffler so long as it is in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise. Again, refer to the Intake section of this document on legal issues on the replacement of vehicle system or devices - you are allowed to change/replace your muffler. Also note, that the sound allowed to be emitted from your vehicle is 83 dBA as stated by Transport Canada in the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. The following is from the Highway Traffic Act. Since when is replacing your exhaust with an aftermarket one illegal? Even HONDA sells intakes and exhausts to their customers!
Muffler
75. (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a motor assisted bicycle with an attached motor that is driven by electricity.
Fumes from engine
(3) The engine and power mechanism of every motor vehicle shall be so equipped and adjusted as to prevent the escape of excessive fumes or smoke.
Unnecessary noise
(4) A person having the control or charge of a motor vehicle shall not sound any bell, horn or other signalling device so as to make an unreasonable noise, and a driver of any motor vehicle shall not permit any unreasonable amount of smoke to escape from the motor vehicle, nor shall the driver at any time cause the motor vehicle to make any unnecessary noise, but this subsection does not apply to a motor vehicle of a municipal fire department while proceeding to a fire or answering a fire alarm call.
