Pod Filter Box And Exhaust Silencers

[JunglBoi]

hey just wondering

pod filters...are they completely illegal

or only when not cased properly??

i found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...52BSI%26otn%3D4

and wondering...will the rta pass that at an inspection?

i need to get my car reinspected...wondering...will they pass that if it had a pod inside??

or will i have to get a stock?

also are exhaust silencers legal?? if so...how must they be mounted to make them so.

thanks

pods gotta be completely enclosed, then engineered.

that box would prob pass at a pink slip but from my experience, if its not back to stock, or engineered, RTA inspection wont pass it.

and silencers which can adjust the noise or emissions, are not allowed. but it depends how well you want it done

ie the electronic silencers are pretty subtle, i have a butterfly valve after my cat and i went through the same thing you are without a problem . just make sure its not obvious.....im sure you can think of a few things....

Yeah, sounds about right - i have a similar style box enclosing my pod (r32 gtst not engineered) but havent had any trouble, as it is very subtle like the one on ebay.

Very small chance of getting defected for it if you are pulled over. I've been pulled over for an RBT, had the car looked at by HWP and it has never been defected.

An engineer ive spoken to has basically said to me the ADRs involving air filter enclosures are bs, and he'll pass anything as long as it looks fully enclosed.

Depends who pulls you up.

EPA can still ping you for increased induction noise. Whether or not you get done for it: who knows.

Outa sight outa mind. Play nice and they mightn't get you. I got done for a BOV, "not enough rubber on foot pedals" and no h-pattern. They missed the friggin massive 4" HKS filter stickin out the front but!!!!!!!

think if i go to a place like liverpool exhaust...they would be able to figure out something to lower my db reading without cost an arm and a leg?

or any places u guys can suggest at all??

[D3bb4]

Resonators would lower noise; restrict flow a little but, depending on quality.

I think a few places sell them for pretty good prices lately. Under $200 installed.

I use a sliencer on my GTR, it restircts power but I dont mind as only going to work and back..

Mine is like a "butt plug" LOL, you just put it at the end of the exhaust and bolt in and makes a 3inch hole into a 1inch hole. Had to drill a little hole in the side of my exhaust cause they need to be bolted in, Or will fall out when accelarating

It does keep the police at bay I think, cause they dont notice you as much...But it's really up to the cop that pulls you over for what he wants to defect you for..most are cool about it cause you're atleast trying to the right thing

Everything is illegal if the cop is having a bad night..

Just spray and enclose/heatshield everything in your engine bay in black..

Pods are illegal... I was speaking to a friend who I used to work GD's with who know does HWP. Even if it is engineered it still doesn't comply with the ADR's.... Just hide it well enough and most police won't even know what it is or what it does :-)

And those silencers are brilliant.... First time I saw Brad and Jess's (SINFUL) GTR I thought it sounded soft as, until the silencer was off, I then felt very very stupid...

pods are used in newer falcons of some sorts. They're just enclosed. Has to do with induction noise as to if they're legal or not. Just making the point that: they aren't completely illegal. You pass EPA and engineers certificate... and it's legal.

Police wanna say otherwise; they're making it up. I've been defected for things that engineers say are nto in ADR at all; but if you go to blue slip it, you get headaches. If you have the paperwork, money and time; you can take it to court, if not... you change it and pass it.... then change it back.

i see...fair enuff

i probably just put the stock back on

and then when i have some time get that enclosed box for it i guess
