Got EPA'd again.... this time we actually have to take it to Mcleod or wherever to the EPA testing place.

Where both sick to death of the damn exhaust and its not so its time to get a new one that isnt so bloody loud and has a removable silencer (but isnt overly loud without it).

Anyone know someone with a soarer exhaust? aftermarket prefered... or at least where to get a decent one for it?

i was thinking with the other one we could keep it and cut out the resonator and mufflers and just weld in some str8 pipe for when we take it to calder and stuff.

nark - i have the older style Trust Mx with front pipe (no dump pipe) on my soarer. Its really not that loud at all apart from at full revs, but mines an auto so there a bit less... but it really is a nice zorst. Only thing is your looking at about 2k just for catback (its dual)

what do you have now?

cheers,

dave

lol omg u posted in here :P

nothing wrong with my foot... altho i almost got done on the way home... was speeding just a "little" on one section... nothing major like 2 over or something... memorys not that great :(

dave - not looking at wasting too much money on it... i think the exhaust place we took it to to put the stockie on for the last test said it was a 4" trust system with a copy end bit (not sure on the correct term for it :))

going to Daalder on the weekend... i doubt they will be able to reduce the exhaust to 90DB with one resonator... altho it already has one on it as well as an extra muffler but its going to restrict it too much.

no nark is just talking to himself and his alter-personality again :(

pretty rough about another EPA, think cops would have better crap to do.. McLeod really must get sick of it, although the guy said he liked seeing the nice cars come in each week :P

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
