Quick exhaust question

[Rusty]

Hey guys,

I just picked up a VR 5L Ute and was wondering what the law is with the exhaust dumped at the diff (previous owner did it).

I have heard that the exhaust must be behind the rear most opening window in a sedan but am unsure about utes. I have also heard that it must be behind the diff on a Ute so i may have already answered my own question.

Can anyone clear it up for me? Would it pass a roadworthy with the current exhaust setup?

Cheers guys

It wont pass roadworthy, because the exhaust must exit from under the car. I can come out infront of the rear wheel with the utes, but it must exit.

Ummm....that is not actually correct as far as Commodore utes are concerned.

An exhaust must exit past the rear most welded body seam, as the tub and the body are a continuous panel, the rear most seam is at the rear of the vehicle, so the exhaust must exit at the rear.

So in theory a Ford ute for example could be dumped behind the cabin? or would the tub count as a "body seam"?
