Need Info On What An Epa Assessment Means.

[Little]

A pretty unpleasant policeman just had a go at me for my muffler being too loud. I was in a breath test lane being tested; and he's come right up and stood behind the car glaring at the exhaust

as if it had just insulted his mother or something.... apparently I'm getting mail from the EPA and i will have to go to a test.

Here's the kicker; the exhaust is completely stock... its no noiser than your average astra.

The only thing i'm thinking about is the pod filter mod i had done a few months ago. i paid for someone to do it properly with the intention of keeping everything legal and above board.

He couldn't have heard the filter at all in this situation; i was rolling at 40 km/h

I've attatched pics so you can see whats going on.

Now; the thing is a little bit loud when you have your foot flat; but then again most cars are and this is not an exhaust noise; so... gah... i don't know what i'm in for basically. If anyone could shed

some light on the situation that would be appreciated

thanking you,

alex

There is a massive "EPA" thread already in the Vic section

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/156269-the-epa-threadroadworthy-thread/

Go have a read of it mate, read the entire thread.

There is plenty of good info, experiences and so on to learn from.

End of the day, an officer can report you even with a stock exhaust.

So welcome to the club of EPA notices, most people get at least one in their lifetime.
