if its too loud, you will get in trouble for it.

[Halo a]

just control your foot when u see the cops drive normally then u will be safe.

[tek_01]

each state has a legal limit, nsw is 90db so if its louder than that even when you rev it than you can get fined

If you get a douche bag cop you'll get done just because he can. That said cops are more relaxed about exhausts then before.

My friends 33 got defected for having the battery in the boot. which as we all know is stock standard set up for 33's. So depends on the cop

nah its not too loud, sounds like any other skyline, one thing is that the exhaust sound is pissing me off inside the car, i wonder if anyone else has this effect where the exhaust seems like its right next to your ear, also it makes a VERY SLIGHT rattling noise at around 5000-6000 rpm, should i get a resonator? one more thing, there was somekind of sensor at the end of the stock exhaust, is that important?

which sensor? wat do u mean by end of the stock exhaust ? sensor after the turbo or sensor in cat- converter ?

[R33GTS25]

at the tip of the exhaust on the stock one there was a sensor or something, im not sure what it was but the dude cut off the connection to it and i was wondering what it was.

My mate said it comes like that, and the cop said it had to be enclosed by something better then the plastic gaurd that they come with, and then me and my other friend drove past and stopped to say hello and my other friend said his 33 was like that too. Then the cop told me to leave or he'd defect me too. They got him for heaps and heaps of useless stuff like tints, steering wheel, and the usual rims exhaust bov tyres. Being a shit sturer (spelling?) my friend decided to tell the cop he was just jelous he didn't have line. Ended up with two counts of not inicating out of round-a-bouts, one ocount of not staying to left of round-a-bout (something done in a carpark) and a long list of defects. So it does come down to the cop and/or how much you encourage them

....and is that the full story?

Battery in the boot may be a part of the standard set up, but the battery needs to be a sealed unit if it's in the boot.

If it wasn't a sealed unit, then the Police were doing your friend a favour, not picking on him.

[sh@un]

Any change to the exhaust, according to the epa, needs to be engineered, and keep all the original elements (resonators, catalytic converters, etc)

[R33GTS25]

nah its not loud inside the car, its the same as outside, but i dont want the sound inside the car, u know wat i mean lol.

[rgr34]

[Halo a]

ear plugs..... lol... .u mite need to add a resonator or a silencer......

[R33GTS25]

IF you ever get defected for an exhaust most exhaust shops will pass it anyways. My mate got busted with screamer pipe...almost 10 grand fine.

Nothing was changed in the boot was sealed as per stock can vouch for it.
