Is it legal to drive around with mufflers removed off a VE ?

[VEman]

Just wondering cause my dad removed the mufflers off his VE and don't want to get defected, is it legal to drive around with them removed?

 

[JSTCOZ]

it is ILLEGAL to drive around with no mufflers on How's it sound though? haha

Thanks...haha IMO on start up it's got that deep rumbling sound, now on idle it's got that same rumble, just not as loud as a v8, but at the same time something sounds funny, i need another two cylinders!!! I'll upload a vid so others can hear for themselves as well.

This is what it is, sounds like the camera was too close to capture the sound cleanly, because it sounds better in the flesh. Went around the block a few times, amazing!

oh only the rear mufflers, I beleve thats ok in vic, just aslong as th end of the exuast is further back then the rear windo seal (and noise is lower than 95db(alltho cops wont notice untill about 110db) aslong as you have the resonaiter (muffler thats in the middle inbetween the rear muff and the catalatic converter) But i do recomend that you get the resonator taken out and the rear mufflers back on it tends too make a better drone rather than the rice burner sound..

120db? Try about ~95db, on an RPM from some book the cops have.

lol 95 db for a STANDARD muffler system as in NEW
for modified the maximimum is 125db or technically 105db +or- 20 this includes the use of a catalyc converter that must be fitted if was fitted originally
i have put alot of cops in there place recently over this
if hes gonna write you up in queensland or defect you ask for his badge number and write it down yourself see how quick he writes the ticket when he has to be there for the test !~

The db test is different for each vehicle.
