Just a food for thought, even if you do cover your extractors, if you get pulled over by a highway patrol car in VIC, they will make you take off the shield the extractors on the side of the road. This is because these police are specially trained for modified vehicles. They have been trained up by vicroads. They know what mods are legal and what are illegal.

If they believe that your car is over the power limit, the have the power to seize your vehicle and take it to get dyno. This will mean that you cannot do any mods to "on the way" to the dyno place. They can get away with this under the new "hoon" laws.

the part is this one that you were after


So yes your car is illegal to drive on P's. I am not trying to be an a** just simply trying to clear a few things up.

NB Sorry had to remove clickable link due to it being too long

I love how someone who can't decide for themself (and after seeing this thread) whether an exhaust is a performance modification is paying out on the RTA for being useless...

In saying that if like Qld Transport they are useless.

This thread should be locked, there is nothing of value to conceivably add except for more P platers whinging about not being able to fit a droning s**t exhaust to their car.

The f**k is strong in this thread.

hey all, in QLD in the town i live in, the cops are pretty slow....

i m running ef/el xr6 gear(motor an full loom)
in my 1989 EA falcon

i have been pulled up like 4 times an i have a motor that isn't made for the car extractors hollowed cat

got ef seats dash everything...

yet they haven't even asked me to pop my hood or have a look through the car...

this is just to show how slow some cops are in different towns an yeah so fasr they haven't even suspected anything illigle about me car an the p plate laws...

cheers dan

Sorry about the late reply,But does this mean that me puting a ford straight 6 injected motor in my old ford XP is illegal for my P's? If i put the original motor in it "They arnt that great" and put extractors on it i should be ok? If i got pulled over and they said it was to powerfull could i tell them to take it and get it dyno'd? it would come up 5kw lol

Just drive it as is until you get off your P's, then go for your life.


What the f**k is wrong with people these days. Does it matter if its done at 18 or 21?

IMO trying to supercheap/autobahn mod your car on fruit market shelf stacker wages = EPIC FAIL!!!!
Whereas when you are 22, off your P's and in a profession or a trade then you can afford to spend up big and do some proper mods to your car and still have it all perfectly legal.
