Just got pulled over.......
I got a ticket for my exhaust, but it was because of how loud it was so I just run a 3 foot resonator now and it seems to do the trick. You are in CA though, so I would probably just get a high flow cat to be safe.
read the title, and was like, this guys from CA... 
does it say correctable, or non?
If Im wrong, please correct me, but I believe you have 2 options...
1. put the stock exhaust/cat, back on, take it to the courthouse, and have them write it off as corrected. You'll have to pay a small "court fee" should be ~ 10- $20... It should be like a tint ticket...
Or you can just pay the ticket which should be signifigantly higher, than the court fee...
You should consider yourself lucky, he didnt make you pop the hood, and send ya to the ref...
Living in CA sux!... sometimes. When it comes to our evos...
****-tane 91, NO E-85, and popo's are outta hand, trying to make up the defecit, by issuing as many BS tickets as possible...

Should I be worried about my engine bay? The most noticable things are the ETS stock batt. UICP and ETS intake. Can I get in trouble for those parts?
lol i hate exhaust tickets, I'm on like number 5 lol. when ever i get pulled over for it i say its my car and that's how i like it, I'm not going to change it for anyone and most of the time i end up getting a tick because i end up being a smart *** lol, i thought this was America and we are aloud to do what we wont. not get tickets cus some lame pig thinks our cars are to loud
What exactly is the problem with having an after market exhaust, yea the noise level may be a little loud but compared to most bikes I see hauling *** everywhere I don't think they get the same treatment
Local police
Dude was cool as hell, for a second I thought he was going to give me a warning but he still gave me the ticket. At least he wasn't a dick about it.
I'm still not sure what to do though, I think I'm going to call the guys at RRE(my tuners) for more advice.
I really want to keep my carbon-ti......

No one ever cares about those big lifted trucks with 5'' exhausts, cops like to mess with the import crowd.
You are living in CA, the chances of getting pulled over for modified exhaust is high, put back the oem "cat-back" you have no other choice, and keep the test pipe. when they see you have a stock cat back the chance of getting pulled over again for modified exhaust would be very small.
I used to live in California and been through all this. I had a full TBE w/ Test Pipe. I just swapped the Cat and Catback out and got it signed off by my local Sheriff's Office. In California (or at least the area I was in) the local police and the CHP will sign off fix-it tickets regardless of which agency issued it.
I attempted the CHP office first, since they didn't charge a $15 check fee, but the D-bag I was dealing with told me I had to remove my window tint before they even signed off on the exhaust ticket. I guess if the Officer (or maybe only Mr. D-bag) sees another obvious violation they will not sign the car off as "legal".
I ended up just going to the Sheriff's Office, left my windows down in the parking lot and paid the $15 to have someone come out and sign off on my fix it violation.
I recommend just swapping your exhaust back to stock, get it signed off, and then reinstall your aftermarket exhaust after everything is taken care of.

Thats why I run a cat in my car. That way if they complain, I can say, I have a cat and a muffler. That is all that is needed to be legal. Granted my TBE with BR Bullet muffler is loud, but so what. It has what it needs to be legal. Sorry if you don't like it.
I think I'm going to put the stock exhaust back on and after I get it to pass I might switch over to the RRE stealth back TBE. I payed a lot for the carbon-ti but I'm starting to think it's not worth the hassel.
