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.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
