Default Inspection?

I just came from getting my car inspected and I failed! I do have the Invidia exhaust on my car and I know its loud . When I went I forgot to put the silencers on. So a few questions:
1. Will the silencers help me pass?
2. What is the deal with them failing me with the code "Exhaust too loud?"
3. Is there a decibel reading they use to know weather to pass or fail?
Thanks
J.

All states have a vehicle noise code. It's somewhere around 90-95db at moderate load. If you exceed this, they'll probably fail you.

95dbs is the max limit aloud, of course your not going to pass.

You have to be in the 105 - 115 db area.
