Hey I was legal, but I was also louder than you.
So I doubt they would car about YOUR exhaust.
I just didn't have the sticker in my window saying I was good for an extended month.
When I was at the smog shop the next day, I heard the guys talking as they were smogging my car. One was sitting in the car asking questions, and the other was outside. The comment that made me laugh was:
"So did he pass?"
"yeah, looks that way."
"Did you check to see if he has a cat?"
"A what?"
"A Cat, does he have a cat under here?"
"oh....<bends down to look under the car>...yeah he doe-...Holy sh*& that exhaust is huge!"
