I have a 3 inch turbo back exhaust with a cannon tip muffler...dont have the cash to replace the whole system...not that theres anything wrong with it....but recently i bought an apexi dunk megaphone muffler which i intend to use....however it comes with a 4 inch inlet and 115mm tip....is that going to get me a yellow sticker?

i thought as long as it hangs a certain height of the ground its ok.. and as long as it passes emmission/db reading.

height from ground ...i can get the exhaust shop to weld bracket hooks so it sits well and snug maybe even partially hidden..

as for db...im hoping it sound quieter than the cannon...which at present is as loud as #%^&

btw...anyone know of a good exhaust shop in perth NOR ...?

custom exhaust specialist in osborne park wont fit 2nd hand mufflers

if ya any where near mindarie ...mindarie custom exhausts are good and well priced :D

as Ska has said,your only legal concerns are ground clearance,and Dba output.

design is irrelevant as far as legality is concerned.

my car runs twin 2" cannon and dual pipes from the cat back. it's pretty quiet,and has awesome ground clearance,with good flow,although it's a bit smaller than the usual 3" alternative.

Actually, the flow of twin 2 inchs pipes is not as good as a single 3 inch.

2 inchs = 12.5 sq inches

2 x 12.5 = 25 sq inches

2 inches = 28.3 sq inches

Twin 2.25inchs+ however have more flow.

2.25 inches = 15.9 sq inches

2 x 15.9 = 31.8 sq inches

I work in Scarborough so looking for somewhere nearby where i can drop the car off to have the muffler fitted and pick it up on the way home.

Ian Diffens at Osb Park quoted $200 for the job...not sure about the quality of works though...dont really mind the split donut pipe works ..just worried about them using the bender and crushing the pipes coz i dont think they do mandrel

I think that maths is flawed, one too many 2's in there :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the db limits you are looking for are:

Pre 1986 - 96db

Post 1986 - 92db

...but then some of you werent even born pre 86 so you wouldnt recognise 96db coming out of a straight thru 2inch system on the mini or a set of twin hotdogs bolted to a set of yella terra extractors on Torana XU1.

Mate,

My office is right above plaka's ....so if u notice a couple of idiots standing in front of the window with binoculars....give us a wave will ya...hahahah

If i can't get a mandrel bend...i'd prolly settle for the split donut approach.

To much maths.

Try this,

Square the diameter, ie 2X2= 4

Two pipes, = 2X4= 8

Single 3" 3x3 =9

9 is more than 8.

On a twin 2 inch system

R = 1 inch X pi (3.14) then square it = 9.88 cubic inches

times 2 pipes = 19.77 cubic inches

On a single 3 inch

R = 1.5 inches X pi = 4.7 squared = 22.22 cubic inches

So a single 3 inch pipe has more volumn then a twin 2 inch.

I rest my case...

so it's been proven twice now that I f**ked up. anyone else want to do the math to rub it in a bit more?

Justin...

IM VERRY WELL EDUKATED I WENT TO THE 6TH GRADE 5 TIMES SO IM REALY SMART LMAO i dont wanna show em up lol

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
