(hence the req that they be mounted in a box). - ANY mofification to the induction or exhaust system from oem spec has the ability to alter the combustion characteristics, and thus emissions spec of the vehicle. as such, all modifications in this regard 'should' be checked by the EPA for adhereance to existing ADR emissions criteria. TRUE. The extra noise, and the change in intake means it has to be double checked by an engineer and RTA emissions test. Exhaust test is done 30cm from the exhaust tip at a certain rpm, but a pod filter has to be checked in the average of 3 drive-by tests at a certain rpm. Then the engineer can put it on the engineer certificate and you can go get the RTA emissions test. This is what is needed in NSW and I went through it. As for a Blow Off Valve (BOV): BOVs aren't before the injectors, they're before the throttle butterfly (which is before the injectors I know, but thats not what its there for). BOVs that VENT TO ATMOSPHERE are illegal. Those that do the factory thing (most turbo cars have a BOV factory!!!) and recirculate the compressed air to before the turbo (after the AFM) are legal. And these ones also don't do the black smoke out the back. As for the original post. I agree its not the coppers that should be defecting people. They should be referring them to an RTA check station. Its the RTA that comes up with the laws on car roadworthyness. The police are there to uphold the majority of other laws. The reason why 10,000 cops won't find anything in their 20,000 page books is because its not their law. [Report message to a moderator]
