Here is a twist.

I was pulled over about 4 months and got done for window tint... long story short the officer was a great guy and let me know that my exhaust was a bit loud and could be defectable but he didn't bother with that. He said that they don't test for sound anymore they inspect to see if the stock silencing "units" were removed ie; the stock mufflers.

TL:DR?

Officer claimed if you remove stock silencing devices your system is illegal.

Anyone had a similar experience or is this a matter of getting 10 difference officers and getting 10 different answers.

Fyi, this was in QLD on Mt Mee.

now i remember why i don't go on here much to many little smart asses

Are you for real? A bunch of people actually answered your question (that you posted twice) and this is the response they get? If these guys are smart asses then bring em on! We need more of them!

Probably a pain but could you get a stock factory exhaust from a Mercedes c63 or HSV clubsport something that has heaps of power and back pressure from the factory cut it up and use the mufflers, cat etc. and get a pretty silent exhaust? Was sitting next to a Amg c63 at the lights and it barely made a sound, and they really get moving. I would love a really silent exhaust.

Need more doof!!!

The Merc driver also has a few other things going for him:

  • Its quiet inside
  • He doesn't have ICE, he has a surround sound hi fidelity integrated entertainment system
  • He can't here the motor
  • He can't hear road noise
  • There is no vibration
  • He has no squeaks or rattles
  • And did I mention....its quiet inside

If you get a quiet exhaust system, you will still have all the above..........but now you will be able to hear it!!!

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
