    walker is a pretty good brand mate, you'd better keep the cat as for removing the rear muffler .... yea why not lol =)

    It's illegal to remove your cat, you wont pass your next rego without it, that is if you don't get caught without it before then.
    Put on a set of extractors, a high flow cat if you must, and yeah leave out the rear muffler if you really like the idea of droney exhaust noise.

    The fine is listed in one of the epa's documents as a class 2? fine without knowing what a class 2 fine is I guess it's safe to assume it's 10 grand. You can bet no fine the epa is legally able to issue is a light one. I also doubt they have acted on it but that doesn't mean they aren't able or wont at some time

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was that high though, since the EPA is a government organisation, and we all know the government is definitely never shy about charging high amounts of moneys.
    But I will point out one other mob to keep an eye out for if you're driving a 'less than legal' car, in NSW at least, and that's the RTA Inspection vehicles.
    They 'apparently' have more power than the police do when it comes to defecting your car, and they're tougher on your car than police too.
    If for whatever reason they randomly pull you up, and find just one thing wrong, they'l go over your car with a magnifying glass(so to speak), looking for 'anything' which does not meet ADR approval, and they know their stuff too, way better than the police do.
