Speedcore, or is that knobcore?

Exhaust places arn't buying in new exhausts(larger ones) as it will be illegal soon for them to sell them. Anything that conflicts with ADR37 is defectable and now they are making the suppliers (muffler shops) liable.

Do you know what ADR 37 is?

WOW thanks for the insult mate.... that's really appreciated, cause I am always out of line isn't that right???
Keep it comming.... keep on pinning all that shit on me like everyone else in my life does!

If you actually took the time to critically analyze the circumstances, of what you and many others are stating here (not officially proven or disproven within these forums I might add), then maybe you would stop panicing and not be too bothered about these rumours! And maybe I would not have to start calling people lightheartedly fools and dicks.... remember what I posted.....
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ OR HEAR!!

I have a "basic" understanding of ADR 37.... I'm no expert like you profess to be. That must make me a simpleton, a cretin right??

You seem to be so knowledgable with everything that is occuring within the boundaries of Austalia and its motor vehicle industry, emission guidelines and standards, which is really what we are talking about here, is it not???

If there is a revision of ADR 37 it would seem to be solely for the purpose of maintaining current emission standards or even trying to reduce them (which might I add is so unlikely, and if it is to be.... very hypocritical of the Australian Government...... remember Australia was the only country not prepared to sign an international agreement a few years ago re: emissions not just from motor vehicles but also from industry!)

Look at the Japanese... possibly one of the worst places to live in re: to air quality.. and possibly one of the hardest countries on emissions.... flourishing aftermarket industry even though the economic status of the country at the moment is shot to shit!!

Look at the USA... The EPA is so strict that it would shit you to tears! I will not bore you or take you for an IGNORANT person, cause I beleive you not to be... just misguided and take everything on face value, so I will not mention the policies in states like california. Their aftermarket scene??????? Strong as a motherfucker! Only thing is modifications have to pass safety, sniffers etc etc! (fucks me how they get lo-lo's passed for safety.... well I suppose all the chassis bracing and reinforcement needed for a PRO-HOPPER is enough for them)

Even with the problems in California re: motor vehicle emissions, or as they call it "SMAAAAAAAAAWWWG" they still be modifying legally even with the "NAAAAAAAAAWWS"!! hehe Very Happy

So.... this being said...... hope you still with me?

You quoted:
"Anything that conflicts with ADR37 is defectable and now they are making the suppliers (muffler shops) liable."

Please like I said above read this statement over in your head a few times and analyze it well, instead of freaking the fuck out!
Then read on!! Please! For my sake! For your sake! For Baby Jesus and the Virgin Mary.....

There is nothing that anyone can do to prevent you from modifying your exhaust if it is just an amendment on emission laws. Having said this.... one must ensure that your new exhaust will be upto or exceeding the standards of emissions placed on that type of vehicle!

If it is an amendment on ADRs to keep std decible level.. it would also be an amendment on ADR 28 not ADR 37.... have we heard anything about changing that??? NOT ME! It's currently set at what??? low 90dB?? Please someone enlighten me!

What I think possibly could happen, is that any little modification that is carried out on your car, be it an exhaust, RICEKIT, whatever will have to be inspected by the DOT (read: at a cost... it's always about money hey guys.. haha oh well) and be deemed compliant with ADRs. And on top of this it would not be surprising to see things like a little COMPLIANCE BOOKLET (that you must keep in the car at all times) introduced which officially states which modifications have been carried out, and must be produced at request by police (sif they have a clue), DOT car inspection stings on the side of the road etc! A booklet because if you are to get blueplates for every little thing on your car it would be a fun engine bay!

So SUPRAGTE, don't jump to conclusions man, just relax! You will still have your ride and have good fun modifying it, even if you buy a brand new car and think you can not mod it.. think again!! I am convinced that if there is to be an amendment, it will be just to help improve air quality, and look at it this way... if it is more to do with trying to bring down the amount of unburnt hydrocarbons as opposed to moddifications, isn't that a good thing??? Isn't an engine that is efficient in its utilisation of fuel a good engine??
Take care man, don't stress...

SPEEDCORE!
