Na wouldnt work with the varex i put a standard exshaust back on when i passed my noise test , then just put the varex back on , The DECC Is very by the books , good thing is once you have passed keep the paperwork they give you with you at all times so theyeve got you on record , mabye hellp you out in the future ..

ahh i see

yeh i was gonna go back to them with a stock exhaust on and then come back and put back my varex

i would recommend the varex if u haven't already been defected...i think i got a few cops off my tail b4 when i pressed the button

but he didn't pick up it was a varex

i closed it and unplugged it and everything

went there and did test

and he did sound test

he said i passed

but it seems so unlikely that such a big tip only blows 86

then when he hoisted it up

he looked inside and said therse sumthin blocking it

i told him its permanent

and he said its not that easy, because sum1 can just unscrew it and its off kinda thing

but yeh

campelltown guys good guy

he told me i can take out my intercooler and i wont have to go epa

rather than saying...i have to go epa b4 giving me a chance

what year model is your car? cause im pretty sure the legal limit is actually 91db

guys my defect was cleared 3 months ago

what im saying is it got ticked to go to an AUVIS (i.e. blue slip) but i didnt go to the campbelltown place or the place in granville i went to a place in moorebank, and thats what my question was about when do you have to go to granville or campbelltown (when you get an epa defect?) not from the coppers?

but anyway the legal limmit is 90db but they permitt up to 95db (so that exhaust shops dont go broke etc)

that's stupid hmm so you just get a letter to go to the DECC but I don't understand why I didn't get this letter?? Does everyone or just a select few - or does it have to do with if the copper that smacks u a defect if he notifies the EPA ?

    • 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 👌
