OK in the past 2 weeks ive been defected 2 times.First time was for blow off valve.

Second time was for exhaust and my HIDS.

The first copper said my exhaust was fine but not to go any louder.

The second copper was a prick and wrote me up anyway.Today i went to get it tested and i was 4DB over(shit) so i went and got a standard exhaust put on.But the thing is i have to give it back in two weeks(loaner)

Seeing as my other exhaust was only 4DB over what can i do to it to make it quieter without comprimising flow.The standard system has robbed so much power out of my car its not funny.Can anyone in the same boat help me out?Options? Is there quiet high flowing systems on the market?

CHEERS

I guess ill have to try the centre muffler option.Going from high flowing to standard exhaust is a huge decrease in power.Amazing what a high flowing exhaust can do for turbo cars.

My one is a fujitsubo.the guy testing it was suprised that it was over cause its pretty quiet.The standard one i have on now is 88.5db. My aim is to find a system that is 90db but provides the same flow as my fujitsubo one.There must be a market out there for legal yet high flowing exhausts.

Now on the subject of defects.I have an intercooler in the garage ready to put on.Are they a defect.A hole has to be cut into the engine bay to fit it.

If you're cutting a hole in the engine bay you're going to have to get that engineered, otherwise = defect?

(Going by what happened to a friend of mine)

Go to Mr. Muffler - get a Muffler that's within the legal DB limit - get the guys to write you up a report stating that it's legal - make a copy of it and keep it in your car...

When a copper pulls you over - show them the paperwork and that will shut him up.

That's what I've found...

Simple get an exhaust that complies.

There are some made by kakimoto and fujitsobo that are legal.

they have a 92 or 96 suffix on the model names.

can't just get an exhaust that applies, it needs to be engineered to say that it comply's with the australian design rules.. i was defected for my exhaust, and mind you my exhaust is under the dB rating.. i was told that if i didn't have a engineered certificate to say that it complys with the australian design rule then they can keep defecting me..

simple answer: Either know someone dodgey to clear it like i did... or put the stock one back on.

This is true. Although, if you are defected for noise - my solution would suffice.

If you are defected for no ADR compliance - your solution would be the only one.

      Putting r32 coupe tail lights on a r32 sedan

      By mattyve · Posted

      Hi fellow SAU members, I want to put coupe tail lights on my R32 sedan. I have been told it was as easy as changing the boot lid and the tail lights and possibly the rear bar. I have since found out that this is incorrect after buying the lights and boot. The coupe boot dosnt allow the boot to oprn on a sedan and the tail lights won't fit either. Has anyone done this or seen it done and could help me out with some guidance or instructions to get it done.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily
