I got a 500 dollar fine from a 'raid' when police patrolled the streets and made every car that sounded 'loud' come into a testing area with an EPA guy who then (as he told me) did every single car bar one for too loud and gave us all 500 dollar fines. Ironically the car before me was a bog stock Subaru Liberty with an aftermarket muffler lol. Couldn't believe that you could get slugged that fast like that. The testing officer's reason for the testing was 'the caravan park owners had complained'. Which is why I don't have much time for Vic Police / EPA, especially when other shit like p plater wogs driving HSV/SS/XR6T seem to get away with it for months and months on end.

Fair enough but no need to get racist!!! I am of European back ground and i find offense to part of your comment! Think before you type!!

might be a dumb question but is a stock mufffler gonna be enough to get it down to 92db? ive just got done again too ive got a full exhaust last time i got done i put a stock cat back on and i came in at 90db. unfortunalty the guy who i borrowed it off doesnt have it anymore so im in the same boat need to borrow an exhaust. im also in the sth east of melb. anyone help out?

Why don't you just get it fixed right the first time and never have to worry about it again?

unless something has changed dont you want to get below 90db to clear epa? sounds like u need to buy a stock exhaust or make urs quieter.

not meaning to be offensive man, and I use the term 'wog' without trying to be racist, but it is young men of Italian descent in said HSV/FPV/XR6T cars WITH P plates on that blatantly flout the law rather than drive something a P plater is allowed to drive and getting away with it when full licenced law abiding types get BS fines and harassment over nothing for simply driving something that sticks out.

When I got EPA'd, I just got a full 5Zigen JASMA spec catback - no noticable loss of power (two straight through mufflers), and quiet enough to be quieter than the engine noise lol.

Well from what I've read, a JASMA stamped exhaust is meant to be under 92db - mine is 3" into a 4-5" tip. That said I've heard a Kakimoto Full Mega N1(i think), which got on 90db and listening to it at idle you'd think there was no way it could pass!

That's interesting I always thought sound was linear :blink:

I always wondered what the JASMA meant, thought it was a brand of some sort lol. Mine does go into a 5 inch tip after the 3.5inch piping.

f*kkin Lol @ at young men of Italian decent. Yeah that's heaps better mate. Glad you got done. SUCK IT UP and stop not meaning to be racist casue some people might get offended and think you're a buck toothed red neck and that just wouldn't be right.

Pretty sure a fair demographic of races buy things that are stamped hsv or fpv.

Sorry to hear...I think the cops are doing a blitz on cars heading close to Christmas and with new/stricter road laws in place...I just got defected again for the freaken 5th time...I'm starting to lose it, honestly!

I don't see it as an offensive term by itself Smitzen, like calling someone a 'yank' or a 'pom' or a 'kiwi'. FYI, I was mentioning my own frustrations at these people who so blatantly flout the law on power restrictions, and get away with it whom ARE ALL OF ITALIAN DESCENT, NOT ANGLO. It's not a generalisation, I can think off the top of my head 6-7 Clubsport/Force 6/SS's which are driven by these guys, mostly on red P's.

It's been going on for a long time when everyone else is trying to dodge defects or harassment for parking in public car parks minding our own business, or getting BS EPA fines.

Please refer me back to the part where I said every HSV/FPV owner was from one particular ethnic group or the part where I made a sweeping comment, or said something hateful about said ethnic group.

It would be like me saying for example 'bogans', 'mexicans' or any other particular subsection of society, re read my original comment, it wasn't a racial or ethnic attack so STFU, or write a letter to the Hun crying to all the other people of similar intelligence to yourself about it.

ANYWAY

Yeah I get what you're on about Ash, isn't it exponential, or logarithmic or something (can't remember the exact term. I haven't had mine tested but I'm pretty confident it would pass a noise test with no problems.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
