i vote manly!! think some peeps got food poisoning at thai orchid last time or something?

if your bov is plumbed back there shouldn't be a problem.. from my understanding its only a prob if its venting to the atmo!!! did you get done for tint? what %?

ahh!!! good thinking 99!!!

hahaha.. all of us turning up to an exhaust place? think they may charge us then! mine is now under 90db... so i'm happy! well.. most days! i'm usually happy till ms screams past :

i was 106 at 4800... i loved every bit of it!! damn epa not sure steve!! i do know that exhaust shops usually have one... and mosts do tests for free!

exhaust noise tests are done at 4800rpm... you have to be at or under 90db at that point! yeap! thats true! sorry mr flex... there are 3 gases... haha.. i thought the fix was leaning out! matt was the tuner that went out with me... he did alot of work while the guy was putting my car through its paces... i thought it was mainly leaning out the tune.. my bad!

the emissions tests involves them putting your car on a dyno, then attaching a pipe around your exhaust to capture all fumes... they then have a road scenario that the guy will drive through... from memory they don't really rev to 4800.. they just go through a normal cruisey drive!! what sux is they put you in a little room with a window so you can see whats happening! lol! you're not allowed to be in the testing room! they'll give you a print out which you take to the epa at lidcombe... who will then tell you if you have pased or not! the rta emissions guys is pretty nice, so just ask him what the readings should be when he has done the runs... that'll give you an idea if you pass or not....

yeappp.. go as lean as you can!! and richen up when you leave!! take your tuner if possible and try to get the car as stock as possible! the good thing is, the emissions tests are free... and you can go as many times as you like (though booking the test is hard as there is alwyas a long wait : )... as long as you fax or keep the epa up to date on what you're doing, they'll give you abit of time to pass... that gives you a chance to experiment!

dayummm!!!!!! whats the damage?!

oh! if they do you will need to then go to an emissions testing facility (botany or penrith) to do the test.....

ahh.. the actual epa centre is at lidcombe.. where they will clear your defects... did they actually ask you do do an emissions test when they got you at the epa setup? if not, you'll all good.. and if they don't mention it when you're at lidcombe you're home free!! just don't mention it!!

OH!! and actually passing the epa inspection is not hard.. they look at the stock box.. tick.. they do another noise test.. tick if you're under.. its the emissions test that causes all the problems! good luck!

i've had experiences there.. twice!!! your story is exactly what happened to me!! i suggest the stock box to pass the epa inspection.. and then put the filter back on plus a box! (thats apparently legal!) the emissions test is very hard to fudge!! the first time i managed to get my car running very lean, and i passed after a couple of emissions tests... (i think they may have let me off!).. the second time i had to go further being a second offence.. i had my tuner sitting in the car pulling fuel outta the tune, and i had the stock exhaust.. i also went to the emissions facility about 3 times.. did about 20 runs all up before the epa were happy! a word of advice.. find a perm solution for being under 90dbs... only on the off chance you get done again... the second time for me was very hard to pass, plus the epa took me to court.. it wasn't pleasant, and you can bet it costs a hell of alot more than just fixing the prob! i also suggest for the emissions test, you go to the penrith facility! alot of people told me the botany peeps weren't nice.. i found the penrith guy to be very nice and friendly! bad luck with actually stumbling across an epa setup.. most people just complain after they get defected by a cop... all they need is a dodgy mechanic to pass them.. it sux having to go through the actual exercise...
