It’s a fix it ticket. If you show the court you’ve corrected the situation they’ll possible drop the charge.
But if you reinstall and get a ticket again then they are going to throw the book at you.
If your in a 10year old+ car they can be less d bags about it. As there are only so many options available. And you are required to repair a broken exhaust. But on brand new cars. Non-OEM EXHAUSTS only do one thing. Make more noise. And that’s a no-no. Open your wallet
Cops can’t hear upgraded brakes/ suspension/ and don’t care about that stuff. Unless your hella flush broke tire stanced then your fine.
