Epa Tests On R32 Gtst

[jus26y]

has anyone got an exhaust to sell or lend out to pass noise and emissions test.

i just recieved a letter in the mail saying someone doped in my car for noise.

will a stock r32 exhaust pass.

i know my current exhaust wont pass it was 114db on 2500 backoff and they want to test it at 4800rpm

and must be under 90db.

pm me if you want my number if you have parts to help.

[nIsMo86]

Yes a stock 32 exhaust will pass.

I put flanges on my 2 mufflers so i could swap between the cannon and stock one with ease for occasions such as these. Dont know why more people just dont do that. I can change it quickly in my garage.

You dont need to go for a test, its a warning is it not?

Got one too .. Just wanted for loud exhaust n told to make it quieter.. Bought a new car and kept the skyline hidden for awhile.

Exhaust has a silencer in it .. Buy an Apexi Active silencer - opens on throttle closed on light throttle like a normal silencer.

So if u get a letter from the EPA, does that mean u will have to get both the sound test and emission test?

I got done by highway patrol and he said i will need to pass a sound test, no emission test was mentioned.

I dont know wat to expect, havent got the letter yet.

Also with the pod, im told now by the cop that putting it in an enclosed box is also illegal unless engineered, but

previously another cop said its ok if enclosed. So which is it? So hard to get these things sorted when the cops contradict each other.

im not sure

but years ago, an enclosed box for the filter would be a pass...unless its changed and needs engineer cert...

yes cops can be wrong....if you think about it... most of the traffic cops are the shit kicker cadets whom has started off as a no-body

[OnAhigh]

i think boxed is still illegal unless you got a engineers, unless it complies with noise restrictions. Dont they do a drive by test or someshit. correct me if im wrong.

As for exhaust i have a cat back i keep aswell for these situations. should pass last test measured 86db me thinks

Just 1 more question. I finally got the letter, and it says i need to bring my car to 'DECC Approved Inspection Station

for a noise test and an inspection of the vehicle's emission control devices by a DECC Approved Mechanic'.

Does this inspection of 'emission control devices' mean they're just going to check is has a cat or am i getting emission test also?

Thanks in advance.

thanks guys heaps

[mark_sudakov]

Hey guys,

Well ive been to the cambelltown mechanic just then, and passed the noise test, but he said my fmic will need to be put back to stock side mount or i will have to do an emissions test.

Do u guys rekon i will pass with current fmic or should i just change it and take it back to the mechanic, who will take a pic and send it to EPA?

I have put the stock catback on with EPA approved cataylic converter. What a f**kin mess. haha

[OnAhigh]

should pass unless theres something wrong with the car. mine passed no problems, the problem lies with booking it in time, when i went to book mine there was a 6 month waiting period but i happened to get lucky and someone cancelled while i was on the phone and they fit me in the next week. went to the one in botany.

[IBOO57]

Just do the Emissions test with the front mount on it so once its passed you can show the

paperwork to the EPA / Police if they hassle you in the future.

I had to take mine to Botany and left it exactly as it was (3 inch Zorst ,Front mount, Power FC etc) and they didnt care

less what was done to it they just ran it through

the cycle on the Dyno but said it failed in one Area and even suggested the cat must have been dead so i got a new cat

and it passed with ease.

As stated the biggest drama is getting the car booked in in time before the Defect runs out.

[OnAhigh]

problem is as stated by the guy from the epa when i spoke to him, the emissions test does not cover you, a copa can still defect you if you dont have a engineers. i basically said to him then the emissions test doesnt mean shit. he said yes lol.

[mark_sudakov]

ye this all seems like bullshit, even with engineers certificate u can still be defected really. I got my emissions test booked for the 15th june, driving around with stock exhaust. fun, fun, haha
