If you have a loud exhaust, technically speaking it's a $193-$197 fine as I have mentioned.
Also that article is BS because the first resolution that it comes up with is Cut out's which explicitly is illegal in California (people do it anyway), as well as bypass mufflers which are essentially one in the same as they operate with a valve which is not legal. Sorry to say that article is pretty useless. Again the internet prevails in providing nonsense.
CA. V.C. 27150 (a) Every motor vehicle subject to registration shall 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.
Below are the list of fines and their dollar amounts if anyone is interested:
Sure, some exhaust fines as you see are over $1000, but if you look at the photos above, the first one says "Modification of Exhaust system with a Whistle-Tip." Anyone remember Bubb Rubb???  Nobody in CA actually does this -
This thread is just a bucket full of misinformation.

Where's that leave NPP? Do they not offer it in CA? What if I moved there, and already own the car w/NPP?
I'm 3000 miles away, just curious...
On edit: I just noticed that chart says State: PA
(don't know where county #10 is) I can't remember anyone getting a noise ticket in the last 30 years or more. I guess if I do any exhaust (in Sept 2021, after warranty) I'll make sure to get one that preserves the NPP - besides, I like adjustability
