Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
All good mate. Iv been through regency (Vehicle inspection). If there flanged and dont hang any lower than 100mm off the ground then theres no problem. I assume its the same for other states? It doenst break any ADR's, its basically abit of extra pipe thats flanged, no gas loss. So whats the problem? If you had them before the cats then id understand if they had a problem with them.
Same principle as a cat when running dedicated LPG. Just because the cats are not needed with LPG, you still have to have them fitted because potentially you can still run the car on petrol. With the cutouts, even though they are flanged, you can still flick a switch making the car exceed legal noise levels.
But on the opposite side of the argument many things are illegal to USE, but legal to HAVE.
i.e. DVD players, neons, etc.
So which category does it come under? The cats for LPG equipped cars is different because its a requirement of what the car MUST have.. Not about what it CANT have.
There is always the argument that it is installed for off-road use only. Unless you are caught using it... It is not illegal.
Very true. WA is a bit like "You can't have it even if you aren't using it". Some laws are more relaxed than other states, but then some are ridiculously harsher.
