FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi guys,
just wanted to know who has been defected in this forum? (specially to do with the exhaust). I haven't been defected by the cops (the previous owner did), so I had to present the car to the EPA... to cut the story short, I have had to fit in a new exhaust system (2.5").... but put a little muffler at the end (one's you'll find in a Festiva or something)... this was the only one that went under their legal limit...
anyways, now that it has passed... I can put on the cannon that I purchased with the new exhaust system... however... the guy warned me not to change the ones I have now... or steeper penalties will apply...
I just want to know... if the Police defects you for your muffler... does everyone go to the EPA to get it cleared or are there other ways you guys have experienced?
thanks

Mate i think MADFTO can answer this question, apparently he pasted the EPA test with his "Harley" exhaust!!!

I can only relate my experences with Victoria rules.

I noticed that Sydney tests at a higher rpm than we do =)

mate i done think Eric's exhaust sounds anywhere near like Harleys.... you could hear the damn thing from a block away even at idle, hahahaha!!

...ok maybe not but u get the picture.

("bloody azn drivers", LOL..!!!)

hey dude,
u need to go to the epa, it doesnt matter who u are or who u know....trust me.
i got 8 defects and got them all cleared without the car being there....but u cant do anything about the epa..........sorry mate.
