I don't like the second one haha

hrrmm we got an EPA notice for noise for the 32 as well.. I wouldn't have thought it was that loud personally but maybe I'm just going deaf from something else..

It has an XForce turboback exhaust on it. Anyone else have one of these on a 32 gtst? Wondering whether it will pass without having to swap it back. Tester said no on the phone (in relation to ANY a/market exhaust) but I don't know.. doesn't seem that loud to me??

God they are annoying. Apparently drove past a cop on Flinders St. I think they're just fishing caus they couldn't pull me over at the time. Pain in the butt tho, don't really have time to stuff around with this crap, so over it! I'd really prefer to just give them the $40 and be on my way...

90db is very quiet. Most aftermarket exhausts will fail. It probably sounds quiet compared to other skylines but it is still over the limit lol. I know mine is. (they test it at 4800rpm)

i have read stories of cops ordering people to follow them to the the closest EPA van. any ideas to get out of such a trip?

[alr33x]

no way out of it, its a direct order from a police officer..

[Curmi]

i have heard that too lol no way of getting out of that. unless you make a good excuse up lol

[krzysiu]

As far as I'm concerned you don't need to go out ofyour way to follow a officer anywhere. EPA or whatever. Youre not under arrest so he can't make you

[R31Nismoid]

It's no different to being mobile breatho'd and then being asked to accompany them back to the bus

Try telling them you wont go and see what hell opens up!

[krzysiu]

Well what will they do. Send me a EPA in the mail and a defect anyways. I can't see what they can legally get you for. They can arrest you but do you think they will for that?

[R31Nismoid]

I wouldn't put anything past the Police of today.

Be interesting if Graeme jumped in

[scotty014]

im sure they would arrest you, its easier than catching someone commiting a real crime.

epa letter is far better cuz you don't get the fines since when you go for the test, the car will be magically stock.

i was thinking hidden kill switch, when im told to move the car, it wont start. call a tow truck and go home

Will a oil cooler pass epa test?

[R31Nismoid]

Oil coolers are mechanical, nothing to do with emissions

[llama_au]
