Some time ago someone (presumably a cop) had reported me to the EPA for excessive noise pollution.I got a letter from EPA which said that I had to go to one of approved (they give you a list) exhaust places,get them to mesure the noise,recieve a certificate and fax it back to the EPA to get clearance.I went to my friendly local exhaust place and asked for advice.Ididnt really want to change my exhaust.What they done was cut a piece of aluminium in the shape of a flange which joins the cat and cat-back pipe.Drill 3 or 4 very small holes in the middle and slip it between the cat and the cat-back.Cant really tell from the outside.I took the car to the approved joint with a green on my dial whatching him.At this point I have to mention that I took my car there the day before to mesure what my noise level actually was.After parting with the required $50 I was informed that noise is 108 db and then they tried to sell me new exhaust.Now, he was frantically going over and over trying to figure out why the car is so quiet all of the sudden as everything was seemingly exactly the same as the day before!Fu*king looser.It surely was one of this "Mastercard moments"-priceless!!!Anyway,He wrote down the indicated 87db on the certificate,which I then promptly faxed back to the EPA.Rang them up to confirm.Took the "restrictor" out.End of story.

Cheers

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
