I heard that the bloody EPA mailed Waqar a surprise and I don't want to be on their mailing list...
Yep got bloody EPA letter

now putting stock back on just for the test

too much hassle just for a noise test. Don't coppers have anything else to do other then noting down rego of loud cars on busy intersections :s

The letter says I was reported by a member of Vic Police on 30th March for excessive noise from exhaust. I only got done for noise not emissions.

About how loud testpipes or HFC's are on stock exhaust we'll find out on friday when I get my car tested with stock exhaust and hfc's

Test pipes will definately make the exhaust a lot louder than HFC's... either way.... how weird is it going to be for you now driving around in what will sound like a prius?

The whole situation is still very annoying though, it annoys me that harleys can ride around shaking buildings but cars are limited so low..... and what about ferraris??? I had a scuderia floor it right past my open window and i nearly soiled myself.

Yeah our cops suck here in Melbourne. most of them that i have seen are fat slobs with bad attitudes and 5 foot nothing police women that could not apprehend a 10 year old. Oh, what they are interested in is catching drivers who go over 3km/h the speed limit. Road side revenue raisers!
