Ever been pulled for a loud exhaust? decats etc?
 

Share your experiences please. Only I am getting a full scoobyworld vortex system, wondering if its gonna be a pain in the ass with the old bill?

p.s. I know its gonna be bonkers loud anyway.:nono:

I followed a Monaro VXR the other day and when he stopped at a junction it made the flooring under my pedals vibrate and thats a standard exhaust setup i believe :eek2:

If you're pottling through built up areas you'll probably avoid detection. If revving the nuts of it then you might get unwanted attention.

I had the Ninja/Afterburner setup and miss it... :cry:

What ya got now Gaz ? Not so loud ?

Do you do track days?

H&S Downpipe & Revolution Centre/Back.

Whilst i don't feel guilty at all now with my kiddo in the back. I've lost some love for the car. Just cannot provoke any pops/bangs and it just sounds dull compared to the other setup.

Wifey says she can still here me coming from miles away, but the previous setup was superb in build and sound in comparison. (Revo slash cut lOOks crap!)

afterburner vortex
 

hi all
have been been pulled by the local scoobie haters , said my exhaust was too loud, he said anything over two and a half times louder than the originl is illegal and i will have to change it it is a great backbox and not cheap do i have to change it all help appreciated griffin ive ordered a bung to quieten it down a bit

not too sure about the two and a half times thing - sounds like b*lls to me. What happens if you drive a 1.0l C2?

There is however a decibel limit on cars, not too sure what it is.

So the Ninja was REALLY loud ? Must admit have heard that the Revolution is a quiet one. 6 months ago that sounded like it would be ideal but ............:lol1:

I have the full afterburner system (de-cat dp, de-cat centre and vortex bb) and have had it fitted for the last two years. No trouble with them so far (touches wood):thumb: .

I have been stopped a few times and they have never commented on the exhaust.

My 93

Posted in other thread legal is 108db and the same for a lot of track days. Cops in scotland are going to be issued with decibel meters to nab cars as loud exhausts have been an easy ticket for years on bikes - you can inspect the exhaust no problem on a bike - the idea is to stop anti social cruoozers waking up kids by driving past houses all night.

m.

108db sounds like the legal limit for bikes, not cars?

If I remember right , the limit for cars is eithe 96 or 98 db.

Mine is VERY loud, full decat H&S system, never had a prob on the road.

Only time it has been a prob was at the ring :)

:eek: 98... the Tuscan was never that quiet on standard cansaround 110db
the spec'C' is WAY over that also ..... ;)

well i've not had a problem with the local cops nor the traffics an in ayr up here in scotland theres loads o traffics kicking bout.

i've got a buddyclub race spec 3 exhaust with a decatted downpipe an its loud as f***. it sounds sooooo damn good but.

In my classic scooby i've been pulled in Telford (near wolverhampton) for my exhaust being too lould.

Had a decat from the downpipe .. the policeman said if he had the right apparatus he would have been able to measure the Db's but he got on his knees and put a torch up the back box and baffles were present. If they weren't i would have had to pay a fine.

Not too sure what the law is tho !!

not had no probs with noise on the road although my veilside exhaust is stupid loud compared to my old scoobysport system but i did get pulled for having my flamer kit switched on :wonder: only one little problem

IT DONT HAVE ONE FITTED:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: the police then told me it a offence to have a car that spits flames on the road but didnt even give me a producer lmao

when I put my kit car through the sva the legal limit for the exhaust was 102db.

I'm amazed my Land Rover doesn't get pulled. Although generally its plodding along and burbling at 2000rpm most of the time round town so doesn't gain too much attention.

4000rpm is a different story. Its just silly loud. I'm currently bodging some silencers off a Triumph stag that should shut it up a bit without costing more than £50 ;)

I had a Hyundai Coupe F2, with stainless Powerflow system, still catted and it failed the mot on noise levels

Apparantly, the exhaust has to be of equivalent sound to that of the standard system

The testers acid test was and I quote " I decide whether I would want this car starting up outside my house, if I wouldnt, then I fail it on noise levels"

:razz:

Pete

hey pete, made it over then i see? ( im casper from UKHCC)

Hi Mate

Pete

not bad chap, sold the WRX and have a black STi prodrive now :D, hope you're enjoying the legacy

ha ha tell him to stick it up his arse and go elsewhere!!! plenty of MOT station's would pass it!!

MY00 full de-cat, very loud, never ever been pulled over.

I've got a full de-cat RS-R which was described by the owner of scoobclinic as obscene...so it must be loud!! lol

Never been pulled...touch wood!:luxhello:

If i wanted a louder exhaust on my 03 STi type uk what would you recomend.

Bet it sounds more like a Tornado than a Nimrod ! :lol1: ;)

Revolution or (some types of ) H & S if you want sensible. Blitz Nur Spec R if you don't !

Do i have to have it decatted for the latter one, my motto is if you can see the car in the distance, you may as well hear him comming.

Where can i get one of these fitted, i normally only do main dealer for everything .
