HELP!!! What should i do?

Hey,

So everybody reading this please give me your opinion on what i should do.
I know, i know it's kind of a lot to read but please give me your input. Anything will do!

Ok first things first i will tell you what happened. I got a ticket "NON-Correctable One" the second day i had my Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust put on. So i drive everywhere and cops see me all the time when i had my Greddy evo 2 on and never got hassled! Got a ticket for modified exhaust "Excessive noise from muffler". My mods are catless up/downpipe, blitz nur spec r catback with resonator. I told the cop i bought it online and is under the legal limit of 95 DB's. which i knew it wasn't LOL. So the officer then had me rev it at 3k RPM (Hold it there for a few sec) took 2 different sound clips which isn't really legal to judge by noise level. Db tests must be done in a sound eliminating environment (so i read online). Then i was on my way straight to a local speaker shop where they conducted 2 more db test's. My exhaust put out 89-91 db's? The setting at the time i got pulled over was mid-day, i have light tinted windows (None on the Front), i was cruising normally, shifting at low RPM's, the exhaust is also hi-temp painted black all the way to the tip. BUT im more than certain he pulled me over cause i had 4 ppl in my car including me LOL. So a couple days pass after i put my car back to stock for smog purposes. I put my Blitz exhaust on my stock dp and go to the CHP to get a db test done even though my initial test i had my catless downpipe on (They don't know that though). It put out 85db at idle and 100db at 3k RPM!!!. Im going to court asking why i didn't get a fix-it ticket and them tell me to put a silencer in it. The only fix-it ticket i got on this car was one for not have a front plate. Which i fixed and didn't have to pay.

What are my options:

Pay $190 Ticket!!??

Could i trade someone exhaust's and then go back and get another sound test done? Then go to court?

I don't want to get a silencer and not like the sound of it. Because once my exhaust gets below 95db i can keep the paper on me proving to other officer's it is under 95db in case i get pulled over again.

Anyone want to trade me exhaust from the catback? Something a little quieter than the Blitz but not stockish sounding?



Thanks for reading!!!!

Ya i knew it was, but im still wondering why he didn't just give me a fix-it ticket? if i put a silencer in it im sure it will be under 95db.
