Improper Muffler Ticket in Downtown Toronto
I was just wondering if anyone else got a ticket like this? The popo pulled me over using his bi-cycle and told me my exhaust is too loud. I told him my exhaust is stock and it comes like that from factory ( I have a letter from Mercedes stating that), he tells me he is not here to argue, and proceeds to fill in a ticket, hands me over a ticket for improper muffler and told me my options are listed behind the ticket and then pedaled away. Of course fighting this ticket is a no brainier. I am just wondering if anyone else faced the same problem?

Ok. I was trying to figure that one out. Thanks for clarifying. I've often wondered about this scenario myself, I know I'm going to get pulled over at some point but being that it's stock I'm not sure if they can win in court or not. I feel like I read somewhere that cars like the 5.0 mustang have some kind of disclaimer that in "race" mode or whatever it's called that it's not street legal for sound in certain jurisdictions. Could be wrong, not sure.

California recently passed a stricter loud exhaust law. An immediate fine is issued instead of a fix-it ticket.

Man, that's brutal.
Where I live, I could fly an Apache down Main Street and the cops would just give an approving nod.
