Seems like the post got cut off or something.
My understanding is that there was Assembly Bill 1824 that was passed and in effect on Jan 2019 as now updated California Vehicle Code 27150 – 27153 (2019). My main concern is that in lieu of a fix-it ticket, it is now a straight-up fine.
From what I understand, the way CHP tests it for compliance (95 dbA) is at idle. However, there doesn’t seem to be a standard testing method other than “steady-state conditions” based on SAE J1169_200707 & J1492_200810 (former being cancelled?)

There were TWO systems, 2.5" and 3.0" …… the latter is louder, but not unlawfully so.
Did you get a receipt / Part # for Corsa when you bought car?
@JonB, yep. 3″ CORSA, parts # 14122 & 14119. From the inside, she sounds amazing! Especially at deceleration. 😎
