I dont have the paperwork stating its 50 states legal.  The law in Virginia isnt if its a loud exhaust (a mustang making tons of noise but its STOCK so its legal) but its if its making unusual and excessive noise and is not the original OEM equipment.

The law is like jaywallking.  They guy didnt have anythign better to do.  He has no proof that it is excessivly loud compared to the stock system.  hell Nissan didnt even have proof!?!?

My state inspections show that my exhaust meets VA standards.  The dealership states that it meets it.  Thats one of my defenses.  The other is he has no decibel reader and no comparison to my stock system.  (im like the only 240 in my area for christ sake&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Extrememly subjective law and its at whoevers discretion.  Im also gonna contact a woman at work who's husband is a cop and they owe me some favors anyways.  Unfortunately he isnt in the same division.  Hes a city cop, and the jackass was a county sheriff deputy.

I have a detailed report on the incident, why I believe im innocent, rebuttals to everything in the law, and a couple (older) people to state it is quiet.
