Hey guys, long story short i was being heavy footed in front of mr officer a few months ago, and he pulled me saying my car was too loud. I had a notice arrive in the mail saying to take it into the epa station to get the exhaust decibel tested and the car roadworthied of some description (bullshit)

Anyway, last week i had my dad take it to get tested and it failed on a few points. He failed it on a boost controller, pod filter and hi flow cat and cannon muffler. (It was also too loud at 101db instead of 90db) Dad thinks he said something about me having to replace the whole cat back system because it is too large. I dont have a problem putting my standard cat, boost tee and putting a standard airbox on, but i am hoping to just get away with replacing the cannon with a regular muffler. Does anyone know if their is a size that is legal that will pass?? As far as i remember, its an apexi 3" system with a cannon.

I only asked because i was trying to get in touch with the mechanic who did the test but couldnt get a hold of him

Thanks mate.. pretty sure thats what the bloke told my old man to do, i was just hoping i could spend the money on something i could keep on the car. Obviously im just gonna have to take the shit factory one off again.. Oh well, i will just keep it like my other exhaust parts just in case they want to defect me again!

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
