Komet Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I was driving home one night and the cops pulled me over and his excuse was that he heard my BOV. He took photos of my exhaust, BOV and filter. Today i received a letter from the EPA to take my car in for inspection. Before my car is inspected I have to put my stock exhaust, filter and BOV back on. Not Happy. Did anyone else experience this??

Guest Robo's Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 As long as you pass the noise level of 90dba your exhaust should be fine as long as you are running a cat. Get rid of the BOV if it is external. Also, you are allowed 1 mod to your intake, so if you have a air pod and not an aftermarket intercooler you should be fine. Well thats my experience anyway.

wreckedhead Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 air pods are not permited sorry, exhausts are fine as long as you have engineer papers, and anything that changes the fuel ratio of your engine will fail your test, eg cams, computer, injectors, stuf like that.

Komet Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 The papaer states that the exhaust cannot exceed 90dba at 4800 rpm. Wreckhead - you're right air pods are not permitted at all Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/50256-epa-inspection/#findComment-999675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
