personally, i dont like the internally gated cars with the split dump pipes to make it a screamer pipe, but its your car your choice, we dont live our lives to make everyone happy. you will get mixed reactions with everything in life.

and yes they are illegal, but so are alot of other things on most of our cars. just an exhaust upgrade will get you an epa.

i have a screamer on mine coming off my turbosmart pro gate, i love it, and dont really care what others think :thumbsup: (not saying it in a smart ass way, but just saying i do things to my car for myself, not for others)

Just for curiousitys sake what is the defect for a screamer in your state?

In QLD it is classed as a major defect which involves a court appearance and your car being towed at the officers discretion as well as loss of points and monetary fine.

Quite an expensive infringement (if they manage to find it or know what they're looking for)

ouchhhh.

its not that harsh here in vic.

a close mate of mine just recently got epa'd in his car for a high mount setup power fc and screamer pipe.

got a fine, put his car to standard and presented it to the epa centre.

a major defect over here doesnt always get you a big fine, but just a fine for driving an unroadworthy vehicle (and they dont always give you that fine, my previous one never came with a fine)

but you do HAVE TO present a road worthy certificate and present it to vic roads.

haha in tasmania, I can have a 4 inch exhaust with no mufflers no cat, external gate with a special extra raspy screamer I made which is about 3" long. I can run slicks and probably purge it next to the cops and no one would look twice. 1200rpm idle

regarding the internal gated screamer.. its a shithouse idea. about as cool as making external gate noises out the window with your mouth!

But you're still in Tasmania.

Absolute gold!!!

Although back on topic - if you have a perfectly normal dump on the car now, why waste money on changing it.

Save the cash and buy something that actually adds to the car rather than making it sound like a cum-fart.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
