Yes, but to be registered, the car also has to meet all emissions and other standards.  

A roadworthy certificate is only valid for 14 days.

And when I got my roadworthy done, there was no "DB reading" on the checklist of things required for the certificate.

I read the whole EPA Emmissions Regulation and it says:

The car's noise level must not be more than 90 dB

The test must be done by putting a microphone half a metre behind the exhaust, at the same height as the exhaust or 20cm, which ever is greater. The mic must be angled up at 45degrees to the exhaust flow.

The test is done at 3/4 of the RPM where max power is made, if that number is known by the "Authority" Or else at 3200RPM.

3 tests must be done, they must not differ by more than 1dB, and then the average is taken. It is then rounded down to nearest whole number. eg Test 1 90.9 test 2 90.3 test 3 90.5 ave=90.57

Therefore level is 90dB and OK

If this is not is exactly done at an EPA noise test, I would be complaining.

And you would win, coz thats what the law says. :shake:

Hope that clears things up,

Rhett

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
