I see it more likely that they will just not bother with roadside test and just give you a VI to prove your car is compliant based on their feeling that your car is too loud.
What needs to change isn't necessarily just the way they do roadside noise check, but needs to overhaul the VI system itself as the major issue with VIs is that they can issue it arbitrarily cause it's not safe for them to do a roadside inspection or that they don't have the tools to prove their suspicion.
Then even if you do the VI and get the sticker, them some other cop can come and say your decal is not valid cause they claim you must have modded your car again after getting it passed or you took it to a shady shop to do it and then send you off to another VI.
