Screamer Dump Pipes

1.) if this is for sound, just loosen one of your dump pipe bolts..

the gasket will burn out on that corner and you will hear the same stupid god awful screaching sound of an exhaust leak... this is exactly how a stock turbo, internal wastegate to atmo will sound.

That would sound like garbage and you know it. Exhaust leaks sound nothing like atmo venting screamers. Interesting advise coming from a police officer though, as this would also be clearly illegal.

2.) I work for QLD Police.... they can and will fine you the $10K...

As with any cop.. it depends on the individual cop who stops you. and your attitude at the time.

So you think that you, the police, get to play judge and jury as to what the fine should be? We have seperation of powers for this exact reason.

I train with a couple of them who were so annoyed with the individual driver with a bad attitude that they made an example of them..

Interesting, so you're admitting that police officers you know have made decisions based on handing out infringements of breaking the law, not on the law that was broken, but the attitude of the person? Again, we have seperation of powers for this reason. We also have courts to overturn these fines handed out by overzealous police officers who believe they hold the power to decide what punishment is fit.

Also, unless you have an engineers certificate for "ANY" modification from stock, you can be made to remove it.

so the guy above where his mates had to return to stock is very much possible.

I hope you have lied about your position as a police officer. As you are clearly the problem with police today, you just have no idea. Maybe you should refresh your training, and your mates while your at it by taking a quick look at the QLD transport website. I make reference to this article. http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resources/...ion_jan05v2.pdf there are many modifications which require NO engineers certificate as you mention. So once again, the guy who returned everything to stock was misinformed and probably misled by police such as yourself who are unaware of the law.

de-reg and dodgey road worthy will be and has been found out before too.

that caused a larger fine than the so called mythical $10K fine..

make of this what you will.

Dodgy road worthies have been happening for years and the fine that it carries is primarily based towards the person who is doing the road worthy. Not the motor vehicle owner. The mechanic is the certified professional. The car owner is taking their car there for certification of road safety and hence is not liable for the actions that the mechanic takes. I don't agree with dodgy road worthies but it's not the owners fault if the mechanic is dodgy.

Make of this what you will. I look forward to your response.

I'm not trying to prove him wrong. According to transport he is wrong. I feel that he shouldn't spout information trying to scare people of their modifications when his information isn't correct. If your seriously offended...maybe you havent been active on the forums very long.

only after his reply....got to get value.

but yes, I believe as per council rules, the motion is passed joshwa.

Hey man just trying to keep you out of trouble. The mods dont really like people flaming other people.

And not just PM'd him i mean lots of people

[FineLine]

I vote you all pull ya farkin heads in. If we have someone posting on here who works for the above mentioned authourity he can be of far greater service to us than all the combined mindless drivel we go on with at times.

I vote for the copper.

[Keegs]

as far as I, and many others, can see my comment wasn't very harsh! I don't think the mods will see any problem with it.

[Strik3r]

the big point that keegs hit on the head was that cops have no idea about half the laws they are enforcing with regards to modifications... how many threads do we see about people getting defected for legal mods ? i'd really like to see the ability to hand out defect fines by cops removed, or at least proper training provided so they dont hand out incorrect defects.

[TTT]

you muppits.

I said I work FOR QPS.

I didn't say I was a cop.

FFS..

The point I make with my first point is that yes.. a stock turbo with internal gate venting to atmo sound like garbage.. it sounds nothing like an external gated turbo venting to atmo.

it indeed sounds like an exhaust leak.

my second point was something you should all already know.

atmo venting wastegate is illegal.

If you get pulled over for something and your car gets checked over, the cop can decide to "overlook" the defect and just say "you can't have that like that, make sure you get it sorted, or he can go by the book and book you for the defect, AND, suggest that it be taken over the pits.

Ban me for telling you how it is?

what a bunch of fairies..

I've been a member of these forums for alot longer than most of you here.

only recently moved to QLD but that's not the point.

So this thread is about someone asking "who makes screamer pipes for stock turbo's"

I don't know..

but I have heard a screamer pipe on a stock turbo's skyline and it sounds like ass.

I also simply commented on someone elses point about the fine not being true.

Keegs... good reply.

and very true on most parts.

But as you said, there are cops who don't follow the law to the last point..

Same as most people on this thread yelling, "get no cat and screamers bro"

"double flames bro"

The skyline community goes on and on about getting bad publicity, and then we've got our own members with the above attitudes.

anyway, I couldn't care less what you do with your own car.

I was merely pointing out what can/does happen.

i was in my friends s15 the other week and he got fined for having aftermarket exhaust and fmic, as these are non standard accessories, when we questioned this, the cop pulled out some paper that looked like he just typed up at home and showed us where it said exhaust mods are not allowed, exhaust is also extremely quiet for a 3" and i doubt it would be over the legal limit, cop also said in june some laws are comming out which will let police tow your car away if you have any mods such as this, is any of this true or is it all BS, ps cop was also talkin up his 6.0l v8 and comparing it to the s15 (which he called a skyline) haha

hmm yeah i have heard of people getting fined for a fmic, but not an aftermarket exhaust if it wasnt loud. as for those rules, thats just BS.

[shnaped_second]

There is a fine for aftermarket exhaust, Modifying silencing device, a guy i know has recieved 2 of them

Its all in the revenue

[Keegs]

IMO you should fight those fines, you are allowed to modify your vehicle acording to transport legislation. As I outlined before you can do "simple mods" without an approval so long as they comply with certain legislation (ie noise and pollution req's) If a cop fines you, take it to court, it's simple and it's the only way.

Scarface: That cop is probably referring to the "hoon legislation" which has been in effect for ages. Chances are he is, like many police, without any idea of the law and wish simply to frighten modified car owners with false information.
