That's California for you.
I once (a long time ago) got pulled over in my Integra for "loud exhaust". He had me pop the hood, which he can do if the car looks like a "race car", and ticketed me for my 100% legal cold-air intake. When I pointed out the CARB EO sticker, he said "Its not my job to know what that is. That's what the ref is for."
It was absolute bullshit. After the intake AND the exhaust both passed at the ref, the judge of course, dismissed the charge but I was on the hook for the ref fees.
The judge admitted that the cop was wrong to ticket me for the intake but the exhaust is a judgement call on his part.
In the 1LE, I have practiced getting to the mode button quick to dump it into S/I Stealth mode. LOL
