If your exhaust meets all of the above except part C you are 100% with in the law. Take pictures to court showing it qualifies and ticket will be droped. Part C is for people selling and has nothing to do with you driving down the road.
Most states have in the statute anything other than stock is illegal. Georgia looks like it doesn't say that from the above post, unless there is another statute that covers that part. You would be fine in FL, our statute clearly states that modified exhaust is prohibited stock is fine.
Roush, saleen, etc. are not stock. They are modified GTs.
This, when they are delivered to the dealers they have the factory exhaust. After the customer purchases the car, the Roush exhaust is installed. At least that is the way it has worked on the Roush cars my dealer has sold.
Playing devils advocate here, but if cops are going to start pulling cars for loud exhaust, they better start pulling hogs. Nearly EVERY hog is louder than some of the loudest aftermarket stuff you can put on a car. It's NUTS.
In this case, there can be a lot of reasons why a cop would pull you over for your loud exhaust. It could be as easy as you're in a neighborhood where there have been lots of complaints by the residents.

We pull and cite Bikes in FL, for the same reason we would pull a car. If they are revving the shit out of it and acting like a complete ass in an inappropriate place or time of day.
It really takes a lot to get written an exhaust ticket. I've seen maybe 3-4 people actually get written for exhaust in my 7 year career.

I would tend to think this way as well. However, in the the case of the OP, there's no indication of this happening which is what led me to my response.

Some of you guys just don't get it. Some townships or cities aggressively enforce certain infractions.
Avoid certain towns or cities if you have issues that bring into question the legality of your ride' setup.
There are certain towns I can't g into because of nt having a front plate or legal exhaust.
Stop coming into this section thinking you are smarter than the PO who knows what is legal and what isn't. Some of you cats are actually fortunate you aren't being hit with the Federally mandated $10k fine for running an O/R pipe and exhaust. Consider yourself BLESSED that you can actually come away from a sop with anything but that.
There is a certain price to pay when you go O/R and with an aftermarket exhaust. And I think jokers like you OP...love to rev it up to draw neighbor and LEO attention. You come on here all innocent yet you were probably being very obnoxious with your setup.
Ad its guys like you that ruin it for all. Be smart and cut the shit acting like the innocent guy on here, cause you ain't.

I'm betting, and I'm not really a betting man, that the whole story isn't being told in the original post as is the case with most posts in the donut shop.
Funny, The last two topics discussed happened in one incident just a few hours ago
I backed a co-worker who stopped an eagle talon for having blue HID headlights which were so bright, he thought he had his high beams on. I checked and yeah, those things were very bright... So as he was checking the drivers license on the computer, he said he was gonna give him a break on the HIDs but write him for tinted tails (they were bad, you couldn't see almost any lights coming out of them). I laughed and said, don't be that guy. He said, well "i will l write him for the loud exhaust then.." I laughed and said okay now you are being a bitch... He walked up, chewed the driver's ass just a little on the tail lights and headlights and cut him loose.

He was just kidding....jeez get the sand out of your vagina.
How much is the ticket anyway? You do need mufflers.....:lol:

Hogs man... louder than all our shit, sound like shit, and around here the LEO doesn't give a shit...
To be fair, muscle and exotics get a break here... It's mostly coffee can Hondas that get the fix it ticket.

I dont know about you... but 3500rmps in 4th has to be what, 70mph?
Not to mention, half throttle, 3500 rpms is a fair amount of hauling ass and is quite loud in my car.
I have Loudmouth I and a high flow X on my car, and I have been pulled over 1 time by a state trooper for them, because I was about half throttle coming out of a toll booth. Lucky for me I was in my military uniform and the LEO was also in the military. He gave me a warning.
I met the LEO a couple years later on a deployment and had some good laughs with him.
I stand corrected. I was pulled over a second time, on the other end of the same highway coming out of a toll booth, lol... once again, too much throttle. LEO asked what I was doing, I told him I was coming back from school. He let me off with a warning.
What is the moral here? If you want a better chance of giving it some throttle without possibly getting a ticket, dont have a loud exhaust that screams "look at me, I need a ticket". Or, if you have a loud exhaust, be more cautious of where you step on the loud pedal... that is the approach I have taken.
So which is it? You were in a residential area HALF throttle, 3500rpms in 4th gear?

Just be happy you don't live in California. That loud exhaust would have got you pulled over(they'll NEVER let it slide) then possibly get your hood popped to see if there's any mods then look under your car for cats and if he/she doesn't like what he/she see's, say hello to state referee. State referee don't play around here you'll either have to change everything back to stock or provide CARB E.O #'s then get a emissions test. OR you can just pay like $1,500 and you won't have to show up to the state ref. So once again be happy you only got a ticket and don't live in California.
Depends. just don't drive like a Dbag and you can be just fine. Depends on the department in the vicinity.
