Exhaust To Pass Epa Test

[joeman]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for preferrably a stock cat-back exhaust to swap with my aftermarket one or alternatively borrow/loan somebodies so that I can go do this test.

Also if anyone has any info on a good place to buy a stock cat-back or a way to make my exhaust quieter please let me know.

Thanks

hmm...have you looked in the parts section here...that's where I got mine from

I got busted last year (stupid me unknowlingly drove into the city when the EPA blitz was on) and got a letter in the mail...I got a 3 inch turbo back system.

I got the rear muffler from one of the guys on here and got it tested...with my full system = 94db. the exhaust place (in St. Albans that does the EPA test) cut my aftermarket off, flanged both the aftermarket rear and stockie rear mufflers and put it on...next test (3 inch system turbo back to I think 2 or 2 and half stockie rear muffler) = 79db. The stock rear muffler is a big beast (and bit heavy) that cuts alot of noise down.

I've still got it on the car ATM (CBF'd to take it off at the moment)..I should take it off

Best bet find a stockie on the parts forum (hopefully local) and when they test the system and eventually put the stockie rears on...they should flange it so you can put the old one back on

Could be worse...I remember a guy there when I got my car checked out he had a EG Civc and on first test, registered 107db...found that the car had a de-cat installed (to which the owner saying he didn't know that it was installed...he brought the car like that...lol)

You could always do the old 'steel wool up the exhaust pipe' trick if you're desperate. Has helped me pass scrutineering in my rally car plenty of times in the past!

[joeman]

you mean just jam it in the muffler? lol

Yer, I used a pool noodle once. Lol

[joeman]

feels like that might catch on fire ......
