Ring the Penrith RTA/Emissions Station.

do they do noise tests as well?? i thought it was just emissions?

[benm]

I don't know as i've never been there (you would think they do as they do the emissions) but if they don't then they would definitely know somebody that does.

Many competent exhaust shops can give you a reading but how legal that reading is I wouldn't know. Maybe a regular Blueslip mechanic can do it?

Interesting. In nsw we dont really have any licenced noise testers. Its usually tested by the blue slipper at time of defect clearnce or engineers report and thats as far as it goes.

Im not sure how you will be able to clear it in Vic without going there and having it tested according to their rules. I know if your in QLD and get a defect under NSW rego you have to return to NSW for a certified blue slip, QLD road worthy is not good enough for our RTA.

Id assume your going to be in the same situation.
