Hi everyone,

I've been doing some research into aftermarket cat back exhaust systems and the one thing i'm strugling to work out is how many of these systems are actually roadworthy/meet EPA requirements?

I know that the Tanabe medallion is considered to be fairly low noise but does it still meet regulations?

What about the Invidia or Fujitsubo? I know the motordyne sounds fantastic but surely there is no way this passes regs correct?

Any thoughts? I want a new exhaust but I also don't want to be constantly worried about being fined and having to do tests etc.

Anyone had issues and how did you get round them?

Some of the Fujitsubo systems are right on the maximum noise limit, like the M35 Stagea 80mm system. If you can find and translate the respective manufacturers page it should give an indication as to the noise level to meet Jasma standards, which are only a little higher than ours.

    • I dunno man, that VX S with 200,000 k's is still hanging out for 1.5 I reckon the R34 is the better buy, personally.
    • Dang, doesn't even include on roads.
    • Only in a market where OBD was a thing. The rest of the world was quite happy to let the US EPA only affect US cars for quite a while. The* problem with datalogs is that unless you are very familiar with what every trace should look like, on their own and as an ensemble, you can and will see weird shit that can and will lead you astray, not realising that what you are seeing is the normal consequence of various transient inputs. *Really, "a" problem, as there are of course many other problems too. Look, these cars are so bloody simple that if it is missing or stumbling, the obvious thing is to break out the old mental diagnostic list and just go do all the things that you know you should. After proving that the plugs are clean and sound, ditto the coil stalks, coils, loom connectors, etc, and then making sure that there is fuel pressure at about the right numbers (while driving!, not while sitting in the garage free blipping it), then maybe you go looking at AFM voltages, manually testing the igniter, putting a scope on the CAS, etc. Then you're into pulling the injectors for a spray pattern look-see and perhaps a clean, squirting carby cleaner around the inlet manifold looking for leaks, and all the more annoying and esoteric, but still common as muck faults that these things have. I wouldn't ever bother looking at the trims, as they are usually bullshit on these old clunkers anyway.
