The confirmed list is the first page of this thread.

Having 2 threads was too confusing for some people.

But to have everything together. :D

Yes correct.

You will not pass scruitineering with a screamer or side pipes

What if your screamer pipe has a muffler on it?? It is the same setup I had Wakefield...and i dont think anybody noticed it...I have also had it on a dyno and you can hear it but only very slightly...Guilt-toy can verify this...

Paul,

Unfortuantly one of the residents has sound testing equipment and watches us while we are out there.

As soon as it goes 1db over the allowed limit he called EPA.

Yep understand...You'd better take me off the list then...haven't paid yet anyway...My car is not that loud, and I am sure there are many cars louder with plumbed back wgs, but I dont want to risk causing a drama..

Just curious how far the guy is away when he is measuring the sound level...if he is more than say 100m away, wind speed and direction can influence what he measures by +/- 1 or 2dB anyway...Btw a carton of Crownies has often been know to reduce how far noise carries too...

Probably not in this case. It's a long term - not just about us. If the screamer is muffled then it's not a screamer, it's a separate wastegate pipe. I'll leave the judgement of it up to you as only you really know how loud it is. Basically illegally loud cars can't come. I think 2-3 dB might pass ok but not 5-10.

I might be wrong but I think one of the reasons this particular person keeps on reporting people to the epa is that their family had a road death some time back. Not sure if this is true, just what I heard.

I take it this is open to other car clubs now?

P.S Enter and pay up people Texi is Hella Fun :D:)

how about we give him free tickets to i dunno,,,, the movies or something without him knowing it was us, someone puts it in his letter box a week ahead and make the tickets only available for use on the 14th of sept.....

also is there something we can do for the day to get race preped cars on the track????? when i have a party at my place the music gets to heaps loud,,,, my cars sound sytem has been measured at over 100db from 5 meters away and stuff like that.... all i do is call the cops up first and tell them im doing this on such a day and they'll say something like "its allowed aslong as its between 7am and 9pm, or till 12am depends if its a weekday or a weekend" why cant we do this for sutton? or do you think they will wait out the front and defect everyone if we let them know????

my car should be fine with noise, just got 3.5 cat back and pod filter and should have some dump/front pipes by time texi comes, but its ashamed that some people are having to miss out.

That is a big camera, is it even legal? Pretty sure i saw i guy on CNN shoot a small plane down with one of those

If it was a 600 or 800mm prime then it would be illegal. :D

We often call them 'Voyeur lenses' :D

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
