dmn im pissed

I just got a spankin new espelir catback ...been enjoying it since last friday...then bam i let my dad drive my car to north caorlina and he comes home with a FREAKIN EXHAUST TICKET...omg

thing is he got it in frederick maryland which is like ricerville ...I thought catbacks were LEGAL

I've never gotten a ticket before ...what can i do?? they want it to be fixed within ten days and signed off blah blah

this is so embarrasing cause my uncle ( my pastor) was driving at the time and HE got pulled over...OMG

jokes aside...is there anything i can do?

1.Email mackin and see if i can get anything out of them. (street legal, sound etc)

2.Or i can get a friend at the inspection place to sign off and keep the exhuast.

Yeah, just swap your stocker back on and show up at the inspection place, pay the fine for inspection, it isn't much, and swap your Espelir back on when you get home. I ran a totally catless custom setup including uppipes and turboback and never even got a funny look. Of course, I live in CO...
