Go to court and plead with the judge. Let him know there is now a muffler on your car and explain to him (make up a story) as to why you did not have one. Possibly something like it rusted off or someone stole it while you were at school, etc. It is an equipment violation so it will not affect your driving record or insurance. As Dane said, it is an $80 ticket.

Actually they apply to all motor vehicles, including motorcycles. It is illegal to modify the stock exhaust system in any way that creates any SHARP CRACKLING OR POPPING noises.
crackling or popping

SRT4 Stock crackles and pops more than most v8s I have seen around town.

Yeah my friends got tickets and they went to court. The first one put on a muffler-no fine. The second one got out of it because the cop had no decibel reader he just had us start our cars. (I was lucky with stock exhaust.)

Good Luck

Ok, First off say it was a blown gasket. (the judge will have no idea what it really was and I doubt the officer will show up or have notes on this particularly small of a thing)

That way you don't need a BS repair write up. Tell them you fixed it yourself.

Play it off like it's a fix it ticket. And it'll get dropped. But make sure you start off saying that you were told to show it to someone. (ie: as if you thought you were suppsed to get it looked at. While you are at the Coart house) The judge will straight up look at you and ask is it fixed and he'll make a judgement based on your reply. So I do suggest you put your exhaust back on or fix the problem. that way when you reply you'll be honest.

I did this for 7 of my 8 no-front license plate tickets. The first one I didn't know it was a fix it ticket so I just paid (which by the way showed up on my driving report as a Minor Moving violation and does go against your insurance)


The others were dropped completely - no coart fee, no fine, no nothing. But the key to it is to be able to back up your bluff.

When you go make sure you have a full Exhaust. Not just a Downpipe attached.

That way if they descide they want to check (won't happen do to lazyness on there part) you can show them. Point out the gasket that was blown (ie: pick one) and say see I fixed it. - I doubt it'll go any farther then that. (if it even gets that far)

He is just trying to line up a bunch of grudge matches at MN Mayhem!! I will personally challenge him. If my car is so unreliable he won't have to worry because I won't make it to the other end of the track! :liar: :stupid: :rant:
