That is kind of risky though, my friend had an exhaust ticket and when he went to court he had already taken the exhast off and put the stokc one back on, so when he told the judge that, the judge had one of the balefs (sp?) go outside with my friend and check if he was lying or not...This is the only time I have heard about something like that, but still if it happened once it could happen again, and you def. dont want to get charged with lying in a court of law, that will cost you a lot more than 85$....

I say just eat the 85$ and pay the ticket, most judges in Fairfax County are dicks when it comes to exhaust and shit like this. You can try and argue that the exhaust is "50 state Legal" but I dont think it will help you much.....
