California uses an ASE test standard for the most part, it's 95 dB measured at a 45 degree angle from the exhaust outlet at 18" I think revving in neutral at around 3,000rpm. Which is freakin LOUD. After an excessive # of modified exhaust tickets for years, SEMA sued the State of California and won, causing them to have to create a testing station for enforcement purposes(all the smog ref stations are noise testing stations now as well). The first year it was instituted it was found that over 90% of all "excessive exhaust noise" tickets were in fact, fraudulent.
This is the CHP's own bulletin on ticketing for modified exhaust.
