Got a ticket for loud exhaust. How to tone down a little

Alright I got a ticket for my so called loud exhaust. I have a three inch downpipe to a HKS muffler. Cops in Philly say my exhaust is fine but Jerzy cops say different.

I was thinking of piping in an additional muffler that is 3in/out that won't cut down on flow like a magnaflow race series or something.

Would that help in keeping the fuzz of my back until I can get the full racing beat system?

The other question is that I have a wideband O2 piped towards the rear of the exhaust. Would it be ok to put in a muffler before that and still be able to get an accurate reading?

Thats if your running the NTK sensor and for only quick tuning sessions. NTK sensors are very expensive.

I'm running PLX-M300 that uses a Bosch sensor and are cheap, but can't take the heat like the NTK sensors and I run it all the time.
