Two words: Cork it.  Is it a tunable muffler?  Does it have the plug in
it?  This part of the law makes perfect sense, and you can fight the
ticket in a court based on this, if you can prove that your exhaust
makes the same or lower levels of noise than a similar production
exhaust.  I'd say take it to a muffler shop and get 'em to weld up a
section from the b-pipe to the tailpipe with a $40 muffler on it.  That
GReddy arrestor is just a little too loud for the local law, me thinks.

Of course, if you had a turbo, the noise would probably be lower than a
stock, non-turbo car, even with the GReddy pipes as they shipped.
Hmmm... ;)
