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!!!

    • 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.
