Epa Notice On The Night Of Beach To Burger Cruise

[dezz]

They don't need to KNOW that it's over 90db, they need to suspect that it is. Guilty until proven innocent is how it works in Australia with this stuff...

And the cost of proving yourself innocent rests solely on you.

[BeEnAr]

Maybe if you all had one of these they would have been like "awww what a cute hello kitty... DAMN!! Forgot number plate!!!!"

Seriously though, that sux balls

[llama_au]

I haven't received one. I was at the front of the line with AP though so they wouldn't have been expecting us. And my car's pretty bloody quiet. Bad luck guys

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

lol nice hello kittty

they might of thought i just got stuck in the line up, bloody stupid wagon in the way of that rolla's number plate

[RCHOO]

I dont have 1 yet..Fingers x i dont.

[_K1NGTR_]

Same i don't have 1 either ..... If i get 1 im going to skitz i went to so much trouble to get a N1 exhaust so i don't have cop trouble!!!!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed .

[Wyseman]

I've never had an EPA notice for exhaust noise, but my GT-R is fairly quiet (even with the 3" exhaust).

Can you just pop along to a testing place and get a test done without the EPA, I'd prefer to get it tested and know it's leagal when it suits me, not when I have to prove soemthing to the EPA....

[Johnny]

I cant believe it, I have one but not from this cruise.

How did they get all the plate numbers down while everyone was driving past???? did they get a video camera out and pause it everytime a skyline went by.

Why dont cops just go n shoot some 15 year olds and make up some stupid story to justify themselves.

[NickR33]

what a load of rubbish... 90% of the bikes that hammer past my place would be WELL over 90db... should be the same set of rules for everyone... I understand it helps them be seen etc but most of them are stupidly loud... I can hardly hear the imports in comparison, even those with fully hektic exhausts

[Ronin 09]

nick, bikes have a higher limit - think it's 9Xdb or something.

[shepo]

anyone interested in buying a standard exhaust system?

anyone interested in buying a standard exhaust system?

hahahah i like this guy money maker lol

[adam-__-]

adam in the rolla might of got one also

im all sweet atm, but i had twin mufflers on at the time so pretty sure it should be sweet .

so what do they want you do to ? get a DB test ?

lol nice hello kittty

they might of thought i just got stuck in the line up, bloody stupid wagon in the way of that rolla's number plate

Was my car really that bad? Only my valve stem seals which are gone anyway, easily fixed.

And I haven't received anything so far.

Lol! wow i didnt expect half the cruise to get EPA'd

[Ant97GTR]

nick, bikes have a higher limit - think it's 9Xdb or something.

I believe its 95-96dB....either way I doubt most of the bikes I know would pass that.

[CEF11E]

my bile has a plate fixed to it's stock exhaust that says it is less than 96db @ 7500 rpm... the redline is 18,500 rpm and i would be guessing it would be well and truly over 100db at that..

[NickR33]

nick, bikes have a higher limit - think it's 9Xdb or something.

ah okay fair enough... still, some of them are just ridiculous, even the loudest import doesn't compare... some of the big old school V8's are MUCH louder as well, I don't think turbos are that bad... after all they have a dirty big turbine in the exhaust

ex gates are another story tho

Gday all, your cruise happened to be on the same night as a regular motorbike cruise that occurs in Melbourne every Thursday night . Sort of a fast and furious get together except its for motorcyclists.

Motorbike riders gather at the BP servo in Marine Pde Elwood at 7.30pm, there are up to 100 motorbikes that gather for the weekly ride. Many bikes are heavily modified, especially their pipes, unregistered, unroadworthy and some riders are unlicensed, this ride is monitored by the cops including cops who mingle in the group as normal random riders in plain gear on unmarked bikes. The cops also follow in marked, unmarked cars keeping on eye on the groups behaviour.

The cops would have been there only for the motorcyclists, hence cameras set up etc when you all rolled by. It was just bad luck for you guys, they may not have pinged any motorcyclists but thought we can get these dudes to justify the costs of us being here.

I wprked with a guy in the city Sat Night that gave out 13 EPA notices and I am positive not one would fail the test. He just EPA every car that was louder than stock. What a joke if you ask me.
