Guest Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 do you get fined if you have one Yes it is a $10,000 fine, one local workshop got done for a few cars at the same time and of course are not in Perth anymore.

ossie_21 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Not really worth it because there's minimal to gain on street cars over a good hi-flow Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335959-decat/#findComment-5435417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaido_RR Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Not really worth it because there's minimal to gain on street cars over a good hi-flow 7hp to be exact back to back dyno test with Top Secret R34: decat vs apexi cat; only 7hp different between the two Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335959-decat/#findComment-5435596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 How many people actually got fined for $10,000? Can anyone provide details as to why they got fined $10,000? Is that a fine from the cops or from EPA? Was it on the spot or when you're going through the pit? http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....0225&st=150 But again like everyone said, its not worth the risk with the amount of gain. I just asked the question out of curiousity as I reckon that kinda fine is a bit ridiculous especially when a defect fine is only $100.

syfon Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 So many people de-cat their imports....i just had the standard cat in there, unbloted it, bashed the guts of the car out with a screwdriver and put the cat back in. Made massive flames, like 2m long bright orange flames lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335959-decat/#findComment-5435957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3LGODZILA Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 harden up and run he de-cat- more power, a shitload cheaper and better turbo response yes apparently its a 10k fine but how can they find out? we dont have EPA in perth even then is a copper really gonna stick his head under your car? even then hows he gonna see if u've got a gutted cat they dont carry infared thermometers all they can do is 'suspect' u have no cat and then give u a yellow. if u go over the pits with a decat/no cat then u deserve the 10k fine, after u get a yellow u got shitloads of time to take it off. it was said before, whos actually been done for not having a cat (in perth anyway) -ive got a 3inch straight through pipe which has had a standard cat chopped in half and welded around it (cat temp sensor still screws into the shell) for sale as my cars written off u wanna buy it PM me (btw this was used for the track only not on the road) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335959-decat/#findComment-5436929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic_A31 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Go run a GRiD backfire with decat in front of a cop car, and get back to us on your "yellow" sticker with a shitload of time before expiry....they can (and have done previously) given as little as 15 minutes on yellow stickers). You'll get a RED sticker for that shit. And EPA isn't necessary to get you into shit over here, go give it some juice at night time......we've all seen a de-cat'd car give it some juice at night, and the sudden bright flashes it can cause....that shit can cause short and/or long term damage to vision. De-cat's are a stupid idea, they do f**k all for performance. 7hp, and what do you get? You can't have a decent conversation in your car, which you have to clean weekly thanks to unburnt fuel being all over the back of it.
