"It shall be unlawful to sell or offer for sale any (i) muffler without interior baffle plates or other effective muffling device or (ii) gutted muffler, muffler cutout, or straight exhaust."
This sounds like Bassini would be OK. It has a "louvered core" which is an "effective muffling device" as could be proven by removing the mufflers & comparing decibles. I would fight this one. Sound is subjective unless he measure it. Did he look to see if your tips were in (probably not). If not, put them in before going to court. Invite the judge listen (tips in) - it is a bit quieter than what the cop heard.
