Ontario Highway Traffic Act Section 75 (1)
I just got a ticket today for "Improper Muffler" I don't understand how I could have gotten one because the officer said nothing about it being loud just that he performed a visual inspection of my muffler and he could see straight thru and I had no buffles. I know this means I'm gulity but he also said I have a silencer so isn't he contradicting himself? Correct me if I wrong but a silencer is a muffler/baffle that is in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise.
This is what my muffler looks like but I have my silencer installed all the time including when he inspected my muffler.

What would I need to tell/show the judge to prove that my muffler is legal.
1st part of 75 (1)
a muffler in good working order - my muffler is in good working order
2nd part
a muffler in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke - My muffler has a silencer/baffle always installed for the reason to prevent excessive and unusual noise
3rd part
no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle - my muffler is not a cut out, it is a straight but has a baffle to prevent excessive and unusual noise, it's not gutted and is not a hollywood muffler
Also bring some papers signed by the shop that installed my muffler saying I have a baffle installed and maybe get some other shops to sign a paper saying that what I have installed is a baffled muffler
