Been pulled up In chaddy car park after cops followed me from princess hwy today and received an EPA over my exhaust....

How ever i got "no fine and no Demerits" taken....

Apparently this happens often but its the first for me.

So this has happened before and of course what are you going to do? your going to dodgy it up and then put that f**king retarded piece of shit too noisy exhaust back on so it will happen again, how about you grow a brain and get your exhaust done probably so it has good flow and is legal, i know its amazing but we have the technology to do it now :spank:

3k? Your shitting me right? Most of the time you just have to replace mufflers with something other than the useless jap shit that were built to be loud since they don't care about Vic pol!

nice way to welcome a newcomer by name calling :rolleyes:

That's more accurate, in fact I insulted his lack of common sense.

yeah but why? how is it affecting you? wouldnt it be more respectable just to tell him nicely? why does it have to resort to insulting straight away? im kind of doing a study on behavior on the net so pardon the questions if you dont feel like answering.

mine is a 3" fujitsubo and has no bends it in. came over from japan and when i got done it was 90db on acceleration and 93db when i let go and the exhaust burbled. but other than that night ive had plently of cops check my exhaust level and say its fine. replacing the pod filter with the standard air box with an aftermarket panel has also made it more quiet but only by a little bit.

either way if u have an aftermarket exhaust im pretty sure its gonna be making more than 90db. my r34 with a stock exhaust made 87db on accel and 90 on the burble i might add

Hey darren.

Reasearch a bit about varex mufflers, type it into youtube, that might be what your looking for.

Remote controlled exhaust, when flap is closed, its factory quiet, when flap is opened, its loud and you get the performance out of it.

Altho not legal, but it will still save you lots of headaches if you know what i mean. Keep the neighbours and misses happy too which is a plus.

approx $400 plus installation.

Ah yes, I thought the same until I got EPA'ed for my Fujitsubo. 91dB on acceleration, 96dB on back-off (does the same burble you describe.) It may be quiet but you'll get done for it eventually.

    • 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.
