You're sure there's no EPA fine? I'm positive there is...

have you EVER heard of anyone coping this 10k fine for having either no cat/s or screamers? and if someone did get the 10k fine, the whole community would know.

it's just a big scare tactic, and all you'll get is a defect notice advising you to change it, if ur unlucky enough to get caught

Irrelevant, it's still illegal and whoever the stupid prick is who's the first one to come whining on the forums deserves what they have coming.

The EPA has very strict rules on emissions and the fines are enormous to stop people from running any vehicle outside of the clearly defined legislation.

De-catting and screamers should be for track use only, anything else then you deserve to be pinged.

Track use only? Let me guess you have a 92db - 94db exhaust system with a cat :laughing-smiley-014: have fun with that restrictive little system.

Why do you care so much what other people want to run? I maxed out a non industrial DB meter at 130db, so sue me? The guy asked where he could get a vented screamer pipe, not reasons why he shouldn't.

Key words "where to get them" not "tell me why I shouldn't"

If it matters, I have a legal exhaust with a metalcat... while it's no track monster it's certainly not gutless (250rwkw).

If Skyline owners are going to so careless about adhering to the law in this regard, don't we just have ourselves to blame when wondering why we're targeted as hoons? :) I for one hate the old POS silvia who cruises past my house daily with a 100+db milo tin, does nothing but give the rest of us a bad name.

To my knowledge QT used to carry out spot checks on emissions - mainly targeted at vehicles running Super - aside from that I'm not sure, have never been defected.

Also, before bitching that I deviated from the OP, note that I merely followed the direction the thread was taking.

soo then why dont the harleys/motorbikes and v8's get this 'hoon' tag aswell?

this is pointless argueing and we're just gonna get warned or some crap lol

there's been 2 names given so give them a ring champ :)

You contradict yourself. Hooning and a loud exhaust is not one of the same, although I will admit at times they attract the attention of police. Shiny = bad = he must be a "hoon". I'm not condoning people should run non complaint exhausts, I do as its my choice, like wise with the person who asked where to get a vented screamer pipe.

I could write you a half page news paper article theory on hooning, why it started and how its protraded now. However it has nothing to do with this thread, just like everything else in here albar the phone numbers on exhaust builders.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
