it's obviously green lights is not legal
and for exhaust, all states says it's required to have a muffler that reduces noises (that's what it does) so if your exhaust sounds loud as a car with out exhaust, it's basically illegal

I dont understand why people insist on bending/breaking the rules when it comes to driving. Do you seriously want to get pulled? You will always get caught, just a matter of time. Personally I cant stand cops, total jerks around here and will do anything to avoid being pulled. I mean do the lights make you cooler?

I'm in Fl too...

Its going to be hard to argue anything about the exhaust either since the Drift-Spec takes out the Catalytic Converter. Well its illegal in Cali at least.
G'Luck though . . . ur gonna need it

Pay the ticket, the lights of inproper color is NOT a moving violation and will not make your insurance go up. Trust me I have gotten plenty, I would not bother fighting it, I have tried because mine were green as well but there is no hope because its a distraction to other drivers. At one time I thought they were okay as long as they were not blue or red but I was wrong.
