My understanding is screamers:

  • are illegal
  • cannot be engineered
  • incur a $15,000 fine if they bypass the cat converter

Plumb them in and you wont need to worry about it. There is also a law that says any road exhaust pipe needs to end after the rear axle, but that wouldnt carry a big fine as long as it went through a cat.

To find out the fine ask for what the fine will be if your vehicle does not have a cat and is required to, as this is what they will book you for.

The only time screamers sound good is over 6000rpm, all other times they sound like a leaky exhaust and/or a fart, I was a idiot and got one when I first got my exhaust done a couple of years ago, I drove home from the shop and when I got home rang them back up to get it plumbed back in.

For a street car its not worth the hassle, fines and general annoyance, also you lose a lot of the induction sound because it is overpowered buy the vomitous exhaust noise.

I prefer the sound of the induction at 24lb than the sound of a noisy exhaust anyway.

In the city couple years ago, just when they started going hard on the EPA stuff.

I actually copped one $80 fine for the two pages of defects.

And a couple hundred for the noise level, but nothing for the screamer and lack of cat.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
