I will be contesting the ticket, based on the way the QC cops judge that it is too loud. He pulled me over, was able to put a measuring tape in more than 30", he said this made it illegal. So I asked what about SRT4's, and Mazda Speeds, and yup, how about your crown vic patrol car with mufflers mid stream, hell you could put the tape in about 6 feet. He said it didn't matter. Ok, fine, be that way. Here is a good resource for anyone who wants to fight a muffler ticket.
