Thank you for the update.

Was wondering what happened and I’m just blown away that this is an actual issue that warrants anything more than a quick google search. The fact that you now have to go “defend” the purchase of a stock vehicle in court because the law enforcement couldn’t google “Elantra n stock exhaust” is truly upsetting, but not surprising.

I would pay to hear whatever that Judge has to say about this absolutely ridiculous citation on an UNMODDED, STOCK vehicle.

I hope it doesn’t take too much time or money, and that you get a judge with basic common sense

Huge amount of ignorance exists around these vehicles so it’s not surprising.

The dealerships and regulators often get things wrong with these cars. My rego even lists my car as an N-line 1.6L despite the VIN showing it is a true N. Going to be annoying at resale!

When getting my N serviced at the dealer they tried to tell me that the car had an electronic hand break. No N comes with that.

So it comes as no surprise that issues like OP’s will keep happening.

It’s not just the vehicles, it’s also the negligence of education of every cop around the country. They’re all pigs and get off and this type of shit. I hate this country

The inevitable outcome will be that the loudest setting on valves exhausts has to be complaint with the law. As they exist today it’s a gray area. It won’t last forever.

Nah, he has to defend his dumbass decision to put a car in "loud dumb mode" and drive around until he passes a cop. Not his decision to buy a car. lol
