Default tint and exhaust illegal??

so got pulled over tonight and got cited for exhaust and tint.

I know exhaust is hella sketchy and not a whole lot i can do there. I got a 4 door and the door back door windows and back window are limo. Isnt that legal.

Also if i put the silencer in and take it to get checked can it possible fly cause its not too loud without the silencer.

The tint should be fine from what I know of. I know you can have limo (5%) in the rear windows with no problems. The front windshield, driver and passenger front windows I'm not to sure but I think it's no tint allowed in California.

The exhaust depends on what dB levels it makes. Anything higher then I want to say 94 or 95dB's will not pass. Just depends on how loud your system is. I know of some guys that even with a silencer still couldn't get the exhaust ref'ed. Good luck

TINT

26708.5. (a) No person shall place, install, affix, or apply any
transparent material upon the windshield, or side or rear windows, of
any motor vehicle if the material alters the color or reduces the
light transmittance of the windshield or side or rear windows, except
as provided in subdivision (b), (c), or (d) of Section 26708.
(b) Tinted safety glass may be installed in a vehicle if (1) the
glass complies with motor vehicle safety standards of the United
States Department of Transportation for safety glazing materials, and
(2) the glass is installed in a location permitted by those
standards for the particular type of glass used.

EXHAUST

27150.2. (a) Stations providing referee functions pursuant to
Section 44036 of the Health and Safety Code shall provide for the
testing of vehicular exhaust systems and the issuance of certificates
of compliance only for those vehicles that have received a citation
for a violation of Section 27150 or 27151.
(b) A certificate of compliance for a vehicular exhaust system
shall be issued pursuant to subdivision (a) if the vehicle complies
with Sections 27150 and 27151. Exhaust systems installed on motor

I found this on the CHP website. This is from the Q & A page that they have.
