[R31Nismoid]

What a pain in the ass.

[krzysiu]

It only takes an EPA officer, ambulance, MBF/CFA firefighter, or police officer to dob you in for noise, then you'll get a demand in the mail for EPA noise test.

A general member of public will need to report you multiple times before EPA will look into it. E.g. you always revved past a neighbours house that's just got fed up with your exhaust noise everyday.

Bad luck. If yours don't go over 90db limit, then a test with certificate will cost around $30 from an approved exhaust tester (the list is on EPA website). Just fax it all back to EPA or mail it back, then it'll all be fine. If you're over 90db, well then you gotta need it fixed first.

im guessing they could hear 25+ skylines, coming down the road... an they grabed as many number plates as they could... loudest, quitest they cant tell when we are bunched together

look at it this way, IT COULD HAVE BEEN ALOT WORSE.... FOR ALL OF US!!!!

next time gents clutch in

What a pain in the ass.

But then, id take a guess non of you have legal exhausts

ohhh Mr. Happy i got a legal 3.5inch exhaust

jokes

[Rekin]

shit how bad. How did they manage to catch the registration plates of the cars?

We were all bunched up together as we drove past the boozebus which was set up on the other side of the road...

Unless the unmarked interceptor on our side of the road recorded us driving past?

sucks badly..

[Mohsen]

oh that sucks

i got stickynose neighbors...

he complained about my dogs, imagine when i get a car LOL

[JamesK]

DAMNIT i'm out of town I wont be back till FEB!

Is it possible to sue or file a complaint? With that amount of skylines there is no feasible way that they could differentiate one exhaust from the other and issuing mass notices feels like....SPAM! ("I have 50 emails here sir but I don't know if they are all active" "Screw it send it to all of them we gotta get at least one hit")....Is it me or to they seem to work on the same policies?
