If anything, they should cite you for no recon, take a picture of the exhaust on the car (so you can't change out and go to recon) and then have recon measure it. To me that's the only clear way for them to prove you were breaking the law.

You could try an exhaust from buschur with the quiet mufflers....that's something I was looking into for my sti..
My wife would drive through blaisdell with the stock sti exhaust and manage to set off pples alarms....go figure

She took the reasoning and dropped the charge based on prejudice
