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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
