Hey all

I got defected for the first time on new years day

bloody coppa !!!!

he said that my exhaust was a defect because there was no muffler and it wasnt original :S :S

he didnt comment on the noise :S

its a kakimoto 3.5" straight through to the cat and then cannon type on the end.

But this cop said its a defect because there is no muffler ????? :S :S :S :S

Does anyone know if this is true and if it really is a defect ??????

To get it cleared i went to the muffler man in penrith and he advised to take of the cannon type on the end and insert a straight through muffler to a 2.5" tip...

Now would this decrease performance or not change a thing since its 3.5" pipe from the front ????????

I know it should decrease noise, but i dont really wanna go unwelding a kakimoto exhaust to insert a muffler and throw on a 2.5" tip

what i did was ...unbolt it from the very last join...just behind the resonator...and get a new pipe made up with a stock looking rear muffler with 3inch flow thru..and keep the canon when going to track etc. prob doesn't do any good for the aesthetics but better than being pulled over by cops all the time

how is it illegal for having a cannon? thats the biggest BS . fair enough he defect you for noise but not having a stock looking muffler ? what a joke .... id contest against that or something . every 3rd car these days has a cannon - weather itd be a performance car or a rice burner ....

i think maybe the copper meant, you MUST have a mid muffler, since you stated it was just straight through to a cannon from the cat? i've never heard of anyone getting defected for not having the standard rear muffler unless it was obviously over the dB limit

yehh i was thinking that

but the look of this exhaust is crazzyyyyy

but would having no muffler be a defect ????

never heard of that before :S

mainly only noise

LOL thats my exhaust well looks like it, did u want it cause its up for sale soon :wave:, i went threw regency with that exhuast it was fine!

the copper obviously dont know what hes talkin about. I can see in that pic, its got a CAt + muffler.

i agree, i think the cop doesnt know what he is talking about or maybe he didnt have one of those decibel meters on him at the time so he thought to just defect and make something up. i figure if he had the decibel meter he would have done you for excessive noise level.

these kakimoto cannon type exhausts are pretty loud. ive got one on my car, they look crazy and i love the sound. though cops dont like them one bit!

imo, fill the cannon up with steel wool to quieten down the noise and then contest the defect. after u get off defect, remove the steel wool and enjoy the wicked exhaust note again!

goodluck with clearing the defect mate!

cheers

heyy guysss

i had a customer exhaust installed.

took off the canon on the end and just added a straight through muffler and a smaller exhaust

had a reading done on it and rocks up at 89db with paper work from muffler man to support the test :D

so once the defect has passed ;)

on goes the kakimoto hehehehe

at least this way if i get done again, straight swap heheh

thanks for all the info guyss

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
