If they can't test it, you will most likely get a VI, which is just as bad because you need to get it inspected at a shop THEY choose, which will be at least a hundred bucks or so..... so it's a lose lose.

Also can be dinged for this,

Division 7A — Noise from Motor Vehicles
Prohibition

7A.01 No person shall start, drive, turn or stop any motor vehicle, or accelerate the vehicle engine while the vehicle is stationary, in a manner which causes any loud and unnecessary noise in or from the engine, exhaust system or the braking system, or from the contact of the tires with the roadway.

Under 7A.01, seems like it could be subjective, without having to using s dB reader.

From what I understand, the chart posted above is a guideline for what is accepted. If you are pulled over you can get a Vt for unnecessary noise, OR a Notice and Order compelling you to get your vehicle inspected. I guess it's up to officer discretion.
