Time to close the Varex.

Hehehe I'm with ya!

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

Option 5, Varex damn you! Illegal though :P

My auto reviewer mate has a 480kw ve e2 walkinshaw ve at the moment. I just watched him take off before and i haven't heard a car that loud in quite some time. Once the valves in the exhaust open, you can hear this thing miles away.

This is a factory system, how will this car fair against operation pipedown?

Is it safe to say that the above mentioned car would be waved through without worries despite being signifiantly louder than the 90dB law?

There is no such thing as a Walkinshaw VE E2. He has a VE HSV E2 with a walkinshaw upgrade kit consisting of aftermarket parts.

Quote from the walkinshaw site:

"Few can claim to know Commodore and HSV cars like Walkinshaw Performance. Our range of products have been evaluated for their genuine contribution to improved performance and vehicle dynamics."

Therefore, if it is not the factory HSV exhaust, and its over the db limit, it is illegal plain and simple.

This is the upgrade kit you are talking about:

Yep that's the one. I apologise, i don't know a lot about commodores. In any case, unreal car, haven't heard anything like it.

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

you make an exhaust flange out of some steel sheet and drill a few holes in the center, then bolt it in and get an extra gasket flange for it.

you will have shit power same as a silencer after installing it

Tried the steel woool up the exhaust on my modded Ls1 powered VU Ute...... worked really well ( reduced the noise by about 15% I would say ) until........... the bloke doing the testing held it at the required revs and bits of wool started flying out .... one large chunk actually flew out and landed square on his microphone stand....... he was far from impressed.

The result a brief stint with a saussage muffler.

YAY, now we can get rid of all these f**ktards with there fully sick cannons, an exhaust can be leagl and flow good power, no need to obnoxiously loud.

last time i heard the mic must be placed at a 90 degree angle to the exhaust and be 1-2 meters away, tell the f**ker to learn how to do his job.

I dont have a cannon either....in fact no muffler at all LOL.. :(

Now if only the damn truckies would turn those horrendous jake brakes off in my area...I'd be able to hear my own exhaust note. :(

jake brakes sound good in the tunnel, i only drive a merc rigid tho so its not loud, i do use it when i go through moe and morwell though just to try and wake the slack pricks up at 11am.

hahahaha :(

oh no you didnt.....................

say the M word :(

lol, i did, twice, im resisting the need to take moccies with me every day, the fact that i dont own any is helping the cause.

never drive on a sat night unless its close by

yer you got a point- but seriously if you need to go out you should be able to lol i reckon that over the next week just keep it low key until the "pipe down" is over. Plus if your exhaust is rediculous, well maybe you would get done regardless on which day of the week it is.

last year i got raped in the arse quite hard with my evo. Had 320kw at all fours with 44mm wastegate, screamer, td07 25g...the works. Epa hated me for life. Carbon emissions well...you dont wanna know heh. A lesson well learnt and a very very expensive one!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
