sports bikes are the skylines of the motorbike community as far as being pulled over goes. only cos they aren't packin, unlike many harley riders

so i dare say they will be copping it just as bad

hmmm i might go get my exhaust tested so i know where i stand... its got a nice note, not "excessively loud" but far from quiet

its a 3.5" fujitsubo exhaust

i spose if there is no testing equiptment, it comes down to police discretion

my Kakimoto is a 3.5 inch with 2 Jasma mufflers, it's loud enough for now. Dunno if it would pass or not but meh, couldn't really care, been pulled over 2 times in the GTR and one of those was a boozer and not once have they said anything or even popped the hood.

V6 Falcon? I dont think there is V6 Falcon just yet

lol

and guys dont take this as an attack towards imports or our beloved skylines. its any noisy car they see. be it a ford,. holden or your grandmas corolla. if its loud you will get done.

Can some one please clarify 100% what happens if you get done:

-epa notice on suspicion, no fine

-on the spot test, subsequenct epa notice

-on the spot test, fine for 1st offence

-on the spot test, fine for 2nd offence

My car has passed 2 roadworthies with the current exhaust, it's not overly loud but it isn't exactly quiet. I've never been epa'd despite being defected on two seperate occasions.

I would be quite upset if they hand out $580 fines for a car which to my knowledge is legal and first time offence.

classic cars that sound like full blown drag cars will be waved through i bet.

if your under 55 your f**ked.

Hmmm... media accompaniment eh?

What if a group of people get mobilised to show flashcards of Skylines/EVOs/Rexs/'Stangs/Chevvies to the general public - and invite the media along for that? The purpose is to ask the general masses if they'd prefer the police minister/government to cut out noisy cars (of enthusiasts) or to spend more time/manpower on drug crime & alcohol related violence???

I'm over 55 and I know how I'd vote if you approached me in Swanston/Collins/Flinders St. Yes, invite the media to come along.

You shouldn't be surpised at the result. The above strategy is more constructive than just meeting at KKs and have a whinge.

I'm down here having a break at the moment,it really is handy being a lil ol lady sometimes,they never notice me. :blink:

That means you're NOT f**ked !!!

(you virginous maiden you)

lol

thos will all have the same outcome 1st or 10th offence if your exhaust is over when they test it on the side of the road or whatever you will get fined, if you get a letter in the mail to go get it tested at your local exhaust place or whatever you wont get a fine, you'll get an oppertunity to fix it same as if you get summond for a test then you can fix it before hand and not get done

someone might correct me here but your roadworthy hasnt got anything to do with how loud your exhaust is its a seperate jurisdiction so that wont help you much.

could be wrong though

Yeah your right roady doesnt really care how loud it is as long as it has a exhust it only if its a real picky faget where hell go im not passing off on a aftermarket exhust

is their any way of making the exhaust a bit quieter without those ugly silencers ???

option 1 - Put a stocky on

option 2 - Steel wool! (dodgy, plus sparky ember things will fly out your hole on WOT...heheheh hole)

option 3 - get a custom legal exhaust made up

option 4 - i can't think of anymore options

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
