personally, i dont like the internally gated cars with the split dump pipes to make it a screamer pipe, but its your car your choice, we dont live our lives to make everyone happy. you will get mixed reactions with everything in life.

and yes they are illegal, but so are alot of other things on most of our cars. just an exhaust upgrade will get you an epa.

i have a screamer on mine coming off my turbosmart pro gate, i love it, and dont really care what others think :thumbsup: (not saying it in a smart ass way, but just saying i do things to my car for myself, not for others)

Just for curiousitys sake what is the defect for a screamer in your state?

In QLD it is classed as a major defect which involves a court appearance and your car being towed at the officers discretion as well as loss of points and monetary fine.

Quite an expensive infringement (if they manage to find it or know what they're looking for)

ouchhhh.

its not that harsh here in vic.

a close mate of mine just recently got epa'd in his car for a high mount setup power fc and screamer pipe.

got a fine, put his car to standard and presented it to the epa centre.

a major defect over here doesnt always get you a big fine, but just a fine for driving an unroadworthy vehicle (and they dont always give you that fine, my previous one never came with a fine)

but you do HAVE TO present a road worthy certificate and present it to vic roads.

haha in tasmania, I can have a 4 inch exhaust with no mufflers no cat, external gate with a special extra raspy screamer I made which is about 3" long. I can run slicks and probably purge it next to the cops and no one would look twice. 1200rpm idle

regarding the internal gated screamer.. its a shithouse idea. about as cool as making external gate noises out the window with your mouth!

But you're still in Tasmania.

Absolute gold!!!

Although back on topic - if you have a perfectly normal dump on the car now, why waste money on changing it.

Save the cash and buy something that actually adds to the car rather than making it sound like a cum-fart.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
