On the way home from work, got pull over cause my blow off valve was too loud by an under-cover cop & recieve a defect note. The undercover cop told me that my exhaust noisy, air filter & blow off valve was NOT standard. Pictures was taken during the process for evidence. And that I have to attend EPA test (Lidcombe) blah RTA blah blah BLUE SLIP.

Have anyone gone through this trouble and can advice what should I do next? I got rid off all my stock parts. Can anyone let me borrow they stock BOV or air filter?

Thanks.

remove the blow-off valve and plug the hole for the test, box up your pod filter, make sure your exhuast is not noisy and has a cat(go to an exhuast shop that has a DB meter). The guy at Lidcombe last time I was there ( got sent there with my wrx which had major mods) was a pretty nice bloke actually.

Lidcombe EPA is differen't to the RTA ,Lidcombe EPA doesn't have an emission tester they only test for noise.
