yOU GUYS GOT IT EASY...
Over here I was passing through a town up west ( Ennis, Co. Clare) and crawling through traffic.
Noticed at lights a cop car was down one side waiting in traffic, they heard my rumble (Full Goose, 5" Tail) and came through red light for me!!
I was stopped at next lights and they flew up mddle of road and said pull over now.
So calm as you like I said no problem, they say exhasut very loud, I said true but it just passed NCT (Irish MOT) last month with no problems. He grumbled a bit and told me to change it. I said grand and that was it, he took details and said no more.
That's all grand you say, until 5.5 months later what come sin my door??? A Summons for loud exhaust! I mean the bastard didn't even say anything only get it changed now good luck!
So a day off work, a 2 hour drive to the court (was up the country that weekend) and on with my best suit to give that judge the details.
Exhasut was not measured with DB meter, just cops opinion it loud. Still researching the exact law rule but be interesting... 19th May anyway, I'll report with feedback.
Yes it is very loud, but still think they need to prove it exceeds a certain limit instead of going on their opinion....

stick up for yourself , if you dont do it this time they will persist on being Knobbers :der:
like Rishi says, tell them to find a suitable exhaust for your car and you'll happily fit it

Just had a quick look at the fine. Doesn't say I can appeal it. Just says if I don't pay within 28days then I will be reported to the procurator of fiscal.
