Yea thats defently bs if they gave you a ticket when you have the exempt sticker on the intake, I got pulled over for no front licence plate and had to go through the whole pop your hood and stuff I'm just glad the cop was cool and didnt write me a ticket for my intake headers or exhaust, he was just like looks like you have put some work in to this thing and then said here is a warning for my front plate I wish all cops were cool like that especailly if your just drive normal and not doing anything that is illegal. GL if you decide to fight it.
