Vehicle Code 27150 states: Every motor vehicle subject to registration shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise, and no muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass, or similar device.
Vehicle Code 27151 states: No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor of the vehicle so that the vehicle is not in compliance with the provisions of Section 27150 or exceeds the noise limits established for the type of vehicle in Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 27200). No person shall operate a motor vehicle with an exhaust system so modified.
So . . . in cliff notes: You modify your exhaust system in any way that makes it louder than stock, you can get cited at any time at any place.
If you're gonna break the law, you better know the law.

A test-only smog check has nothing to do with a referee station.

Rep Power: 0 Pretty much its up to the cop if he wants to write u a ticket if u have an exhaust...i was doin a ride along with the temple city sherriff and he told me that as long as ur exhaust system is modified he can write u a ticket..but it depends on the the officer..most dont care but then there are some that are out to get everyone
yeah ... a cop can write you a ticket for almost literally anything... you'd just have to fight it.
I was reading that a cop gave a ticket for a spoiler being an "obstruction of view" to a guy on the evo forums ... and he had a stock spoiler.
edit: found it
and another
hmm ... I guess this is a rather big problem...
