[emts]

Time to close the Varex.

lmaooo ... skline01999 thats sik idea.. u shifty k*nt .. its cuz ur mates with haydar from boxhill

[HEKT1K]

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

[jjskyline79]

So what about all your v8 monsters you have over here my sisters v6 ford falcon is louder then my Skyline ffs

[Ruffels]

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

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

[BeEnAr]

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.

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.

[lukebaldan]

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.

[perzn_34]

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

[SKYL1N]

i didint know they were giving out $580 fines now.....

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.

[Humbla]

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

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

[BeEnAr]

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

[THR34T]

lol @ everyone who gets pulled over/ tested with their screamer pipe on.
