Screemer Pipes

[The Mafia]

What if you just not be a tool and plumb your exhaust in correctly.

Screamers sound like shit.

They are illegal, and you're begging to get caught.

In NSW, expect thousands of dollars in fines.

Cat converter would do no good as you wouldn't meet noise restrictions if you want things legal and can still have fun on the track do the flange trick it's not worth the risk

My understanding is screamers:

• are illegal
• cannot be engineered
• incur a $15,000 fine if they bypass the cat converter

Plumb them in and you wont need to worry about it. There is also a law that says any road exhaust pipe needs to end after the rear axle, but that wouldnt carry a big fine as long as it went through a cat.

To find out the fine ask for what the fine will be if your vehicle does not have a cat and is required to, as this is what they will book you for.

The only time screamers sound good is over 6000rpm, all other times they sound like a leaky exhaust and/or a fart, I was a idiot and got one when I first got my exhaust done a couple of years ago, I drove home from the shop and when I got home rang them back up to get it plumbed back in.

For a street car its not worth the hassle, fines and general annoyance, also you lose a lot of the induction sound because it is overpowered buy the vomitous exhaust noise.

I prefer the sound of the induction at 24lb than the sound of a noisy exhaust anyway.

Isnt It something like 12inches from last opening door/window etc. That only what i have ben told. I have never checked it

$5,500, $7500, $10,000, $15,000.

Does anyone know what the actual fine is, or is it chinese whispers?

[The Mafia]

You're going to find out soon enough.

Make sure you post back and let us know exactly how many thousand it is.

A screamer pipe in NZ is classified as an exhaust pipe and therefore subject to the same requirements - noise, emissions, positioning of outlet.

I've been caught with both a screamer and no cat at one of those EPA/defect setups.

Didn't get a fine, only got an EPA notice. Car has never seen the road since LMAO

Good to hear,

Where did you get done?

[Dahtone Racing]

In the city couple years ago, just when they started going hard on the EPA stuff.

I actually copped one $80 fine for the two pages of defects.

And a couple hundred for the noise level, but nothing for the screamer and lack of cat.
