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.

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!!!

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
