There was some info, I'm sure Traum has a database full of stuff but I believe the spirit of that law is supposed to be to attack people who are revving their engine... which was one of the arguments you could use at a traffic stop to not give them anything to read with their decibel meter since they're basically asking you to break the law/incriminate yourself.

So you would probably be left with going to court to say that you weren't revving your motor and you'd have to get an inspection to show that your car is under the legal limit and hope for the best... but even if you win, you're still out inspection money and a lot of time. Depends how bad you want to prove your point I guess... but crappy thing is the ticket carries points.
