its performance, coz i would like to let you all know that i set of my first car alarm with my exhuast, i was only doing lik 3000rpm too

basically my question is.. how can you know if yoru exchuast is over the legal limt, without actually testing it???

ok i got a 2 1/2" zorst from engine

had an epa test yesterday and with standared muffler i got 88db out of the leagal 90db

now with the big bore attached (without resinator which is gonna be added tomorrow) i dunno what it would be, but try setting off 12 car alarms just by driving past at 20km/h or less, its one loud mf!

basically if u have a standared muffler but a big ass pipe like 2 1/2" it will be almost illegal, dunno how it would be for a 3" but im guessing it would go over

chuck a big bore and see what happens hahaha, sounds mad in the cabbin to, shakes everything

I have a big ass 'zorst - 3 1/4 off the tubo, 4" high flow cat and 3 1/2 cat back... its stinkin' loud, over the limit for sure and sets off alarms all the time at any rev range..

if i get busted by the epa, i'll take it off - maybe even consider selling the car, its too difficult to own a nice modded car these days.

Hmm, that's one thing im worried about when i get my car. Noise defects = 2 point penalty

P platers only get 6 points.. i don't want to lose my liscense from defects!

I'm going with 3" right through, and an apexi N1 muffler (or look-a-like) what's the go with those silencer things? i hear they are bad for your car, and i read somewhere they cause pinging (wtf?? is that possible?!)

I was thinking of making up a flap that sits inside the cat (the cat convetor minus its innards) which could be cable operated. If you need you car to be quiter, pull the cable, which will pull the flap down in the cat ,effectivly bouncing the sound waves back to the engine. haven't made one yet, but have seen one on a GTR with a full3.5 inch exhaust with no resonators and a straight through muffler and it made it REALLY quiet. Keep everyone posted

firstly, we all know that n/a are louder then turbo powered....

im n/a...

secondly, im in sydney atm.. and well we went through burwood westfeild car park, and set off about 8 alarms in the space of about 5minutes.. most of that time was finding cars worth putting alarms on...

over 2 days my car has set off 16 alarms, half in westfeild, the others along the streets of sydney..

my back muffler is actually a twin hot dog style.. and its loud.. i hope i dont get done..the guys at the exhuast joint said it should quiten down a bit after its been used a little tho.. coz they put on a 2 1/2 cat back...

i was also told by a guy who knows cars.. that if you take out the cat convertor, and put in another muffler, it will sound much bette,r give better performance and also better fuel economy.. looks like i might do that soon.. hahaha and none of you loody tree huggin hippies better try and stop me.

by the way if any of you guys see a gunmetal grey skyline nsw plate xxx-662, thats me.. ill be around summer hill, burwood, etc etc...

Not only is it illegal, but you could be up for thousands of dollars in emission fines. Why? something called polution. Polution laws came in the early 80's, and all cars after a certain date required a cataylic converter by law. If you want better performance, get a turbo.

its because of tree huggin hippes we need to have them, pffft i wont live long enough to see the difference, therefor its not my problem, and anyway by the time it makes a differece, they will have things to fix the problem without a cat convertor... ohwell.. we will see what happens, by the way, the alarm count so far is up to 31...

yo.

I wasn;t running a cat for a while... i have a big ass exhaust.

I got a 4" high flow put in and it has just quietened it - no performance loss at all. its not worth it for the risc of a hefty fine and destroying the environment.
