The only thing they can ticket your exhaust for on the spot is noise. Just because a cop tickets you doesn't mean he had the right to. Did he have a decible meter? Doubtful.
Take your car to a shop and have them test the decibel levels of your exhaust. See if it's within VA legal specs. If not; put a silencer on it. Then have it re-tested. It should be within specs with the silencer.
An "illegal" exhaust; other than noisey, is like having no muffler or no cat. Unless he crawled under your car, and I'm assuming you have a muffler; he ticketed you for noise.
Also: GET A LAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if it's written wrong on the ticket it's not, REPEAT NOT a sure thing you will get off.
I've seen some Judges respond, "You knew what you were pulled over for; regardless of what the Officer wrote down."

you really didn't lose 250 to a lawyer for getting you off the charges, you saved money from what the insurance company was going to charge you if you where convicted.

it wasnt even a case...the lawyer said one sentence "theres no evidence."
then judge says "dismissed." and gave us a 5 min lecture on racing and how his friend in college died on 17
