Was Defected Last Night.whats The Deal.

[Trust33]

Last night i was defected so i cant drive the car untill i get it cleared.but it can be driven to and from clearing points.

The non standard exhaust is all they got me for.

Do you know the deal with defects,like,can i wack the standard exhaust back on and go for the test or do i have to take it to the clearer and get it tested first like it was when i was fined.And then recive a fine and then go to get it cleared with the stock exhaust??

Also it has to be epa tested and db tested.

Cheers

Craig.

dang..

where was it?

[gtr fan]

just put the standard exhaust back on, go get it tested and when you pass come back home and swap them around again. It happened to my brother once, and thats why I keep my standard exhaust as well.

[Trust33]

sounds like a plan.

[Trust33]

has any1 else just swapped the exhaust ova and had it tested and cleared.Does it have to be left on or dont thet care if the exhaust is changed.

I just thought it would have to be tested as is at the time of fine.But if i can do that then great.

Do i have to make a booking at the rta to get the emissions test?do i get a prioitory spot because i have to have a defect cleared?Becasue when i got the blu slip for the car i had to wait 28 days to go.Im calling them early 2mozz to make a booking.

non-standard? Can they really do you for that? What if yours broke, and it was replaced with something made at an exhaust shop, because there are no more genuine spares left?

I thought they could only defect you if they suspect that yours is too loud? In which case you must go and get it tested, and clear the defect.

[Trust33]

Yeah i dont know.So what im gonna do atm is put the stockie back on.I do have to get a db test as well as the emissions.

hmmm seems like that place is a magnet for defects, same place and some defect, someone (sau forum member too). got defected for loud exhaust.

maybe there is just one cop/hwy car there who likes giving em out.

Craig,

wat did I tell you... i keep saying it over and over again... i got done for my exhaust 3 times... third time facing up to $33000 in fines. as soon as you have aftermatket exhaust, they will get you for it and take you to EPA!!!

hence, i been runnig the stock exhaust system all this time.

man that sucks ass, heard about ur missfortune a bit later on.

I thought you were engineered dude?

[A NewTattoo]

That s sucks man~~

i left the shell and went back home , didn t know such thing happen...

last time i got defected for my parkers, i only hav 3 days which include the weekend, and i think i did blue slip at my friend 's work shop , i think u can go workshops that got RTA permission to do blue (or pink ?i forgot) slip , after u get the slip , then u go to RTA dont need to booking just wait in the Q , should be a local workshop who does it , i know the one near chatswood, what area u from?

[Trust33]

Ahh not the exhaust.It was the only thing.

[Jago]

engineer it craig, u know u want to (well, not really, it does cost a sh!tload )

[Trust33]

campbelltown man.I was about to turn arround and go home to. but i went down the road because i saw a few cars.When every1 went i got boxed in.Not much i could do about it.

[Jago]

did u get done at that RBT unit or when the cops started pulling in?

[Trust33]

It is too loud.I went to livo xhaust at blu slip time last year,and they were going to charge me a small fortune for 3'' zorst and appropriate mufflers.1k or there abouts.

So i might just drive arround with a silencer in the zorst.I am going to look for one cause i dont have 1 yet.if not i'll just get 1 made.

[Jago]

just add a resonator mate

Last year i got a letter in the mail form the EPA saying an officer had 'suspected' my car was over the 90db limit..I was never pulled over which makes it harder to take..but anyways, i got a test done at a local exhaust shop, measured 96 at 5000rpm. Went back to them a few days later with some restriction baffle plates i made up and it measured 91db..the very kind exhaust shop guy filled out the appropriate paperwork saying it was 89. Used this paperwork and paid my $60 fee or whatever it was and thats it. Took the restriction plates out that same day. I did make a thread on here about it.
