Modification Questions

[capturedcreation]

Hi

I'm in the process of importing a 1999 RS4S through Iron Chef and have a couple of questions about some parts I have been thinking about adding but I'm not sure if they are street legal here in Tassie or not, so I'm hoping someone might be able to help out. Can anyone tell me if a carbon fibre bonnet is legal? Or a Varex exhaust?

Thanks

Tim

Just ring service Tas to confirm legality of the cf bonnet . how big is the exhaust ? usually have to fit a pretty stock exhaust for compliance .

The car looks to have a 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust system on it (just waiting on exact details), but I'm thinking about fitting one of those Varex mufflers with the valve that you can open or close to make it loud or quiet, and I'm not sure how legal they are

Update - just spoke to Service Tas and the guy I spoke to did not think the bonnet would be approved because of the potential impact on crumple zones and the car's safety system, but that the Varex muffler should be ok as long as it complied with volume limits.

Any thoughts/experience that anyone else has about cf bonnets or the volume of Varex mufflers would be still be appreciated!

Bonnet = NO

Exhaust = YES (If Db limit is within range)

Plenty of peeps have run them but my decision maker not to put mine on was INSURANCE!!!

My bet would be on it going through inspection fine, so long as it has a bonnet.
