[koztek55]

Hey guys just a quick one, I copped an epa on friday night, I have tri y extractors 200 cell high flows twin 2 1/2 inch without rear muffler, also cammed, what's your thoughts on passing the test , would a stock cat back do the job etc,?

Cheera in advance

Unless you have a MAF then there is no chance of passing. Fair to high chance you will need to put the cam back to standard too. Extractors/functioning high flow cats and a stock exhaust will probably be ok if it is no more than the standard loudness.

Lol needs to sound like an 8, I was actaully stupid enough to drive out onto the hwy on Friday night lol, unfortunately they pulled me over doing 25km/h past the lol. Took me to an epa station setup, and murder she wrote, Ah well live n learn I suppose

i got done on my vu ss
to get it sounding legal (90db max) i had to get a full stock exhaust system from cat backs
i passed at 89db coz i got extractors and high flow cats it just made it.
i had to rev it to 4500 and the loudest point was the deceleration.
good luck mate, its such a hassle

Put your standard exhaust system back on. And also the standard airbox setup with the MAF, however the wires for the MAF dont have to be connected. Run it into the loom and leave it the unconnected. Just make sure you duck tape it there and pull the plastic spiral cover over it again. Put your engine cover back on.

With my old old torana 202 I had to go for like 4 retests had to remove extractors, change dizzy(scorcher race ignition), manifold and carby (redline intake with 350 holley, had to put single barrel stromberg) (man they're F%^king tightarses), anyhow the last test I took the missus and kids with me and the guy passed it but pointed out I still needed to clean some pollution valve lol. All because I worked a saturday and drove home and got picked up and told to "follow to the testing station" which when I arrived was all full of P plate commodores lol.
