I am wondering if there is anything I could show the cops that would prove it is noise and emission legal. anyone have any experience with this?

Listen i used to live in MA and have had dealings with the exhaust nazis. There's nothing you can do when a cop wants to screw you over, explaining things to someone that already pulled you over will make you look more guilty. If i were you i would have the paperwork (purchase receipt, exhaust information, etc) with your registration just in case, but most likely you will have to fight it in court. But like somebody else here said, this thing looks stock (you should see my G-readdy coconut launcher) so the cop that stops you for that is an a-hole. Cheers.
