hears a handy hint i found out from a cousin, (NSW road rules, not sure bout Victoria) if a cop pulls you over for having a exhaust system thats too loud, you can get them to do a decibel reading, if the reading is under its a ok, if not well then yer..., but heres the tip, most cops will rev the engine to get the reading higher, however their not allowed to take a reading from over 3k rpm, so if you even have a cop testing how loud your exhaust is and hes reeving the s**t out of it tell him to piss off cause they cant rev it past 3k

ive seen someone make a heat shield before but it was for a ba with pacemaker headers, and the heat shield rubbed and scratched his nice polished headers, but from what he said engine bay temps round the radiator tank and break booster where reduced, do what i do if u wanna make a heat shield, experiment with a cardboard template, then if it works in cardboard make the same thing out of metal, just dont go driving with a cardboard heat shield, that could be nasty

I was under the impression that you could have either a pod or extractors on red P plates in vic.
If you had both it would breathe to well and get more performance and be a no no. I know you can have a sports exhaust as most red P plates in my town have that done and we have a b**ch of a cop who defects all cars but not these. |

Are people f**k retarded? No modifications means no modifications.
All well and good to say that some cops might not realise the loud exhaust note and fancy pipes coming off the side of the engine is a modification, but if you ever need to claim have fun getting that one past insurance companies who have teams of people whose sole goal in life is to find ways out of paying up. About the only thing you'd get past insurance is cam/headwork/rebuilt engine (without any exhaust/intake mods). In the grand scheme of things you only have to wait a few years which isn't that bad compared to how much you'll be paying out if you have an accident and aren't covered by insurance.

haha you're trying to hide modifications but you told your insurance company all about them. yeah everythings legal but not on your licence and you can be sure the insurance company won't cover you for a car that you aren't allowed to drive. claiming you didn't know about the rules is no defence either.
keep giving them their premiums though. that'll keep them happy given they probably already know they won't have to pay you. |

The only exemption is if that modified car is the only car in the household and you can't get any stock servicable parts for it. Chucking an exhaust on your car and for the hell of it is in no way a reasonable grounds for an exemption.
As for insurance companies. Its merely their job to exercise their right of a law that most of them don't understand. That is why they will ensure you but if anything happens, they'll bend you over and say that your insurance is void because they "just found out" that you weren't allowed to have said mods. If anything they might try to swap you for motkrsport insurance (which covere's theft from your trailer or garage only). Either way, your f**k as your policy aint worth the paper its printed on. |
