    i got an engineer to help me through my B16A into a 1983 Prelude project,

    so i did it the easy way, he tested for noise,

    and i went to UltraTune for the emmissions test... passed easily due to stock ECU and stock cat...

    i am GOING to get my DC2 tested once i install the new 200 cell cat...

    AFAIK - these are the basic checklists:

    the DECC is the old EPA,

    same legislation, different name.

    however, it WAS before the NCOP came in, which i think makes it easier than the old system...

    do you reckon cops would do you for noise if you had a sports exhaust (twin) with resonator, (just over legal decibel level) and added a CAI?

    but it'd be a lot less noise compared to if a resonator wasn't on right? Or does the resonator become useless when a CAI is installed?

    Can cops identify a CAI easily (is this part of their training?) if one was ever asked to open their bonet? And would it eventually be easy to return it back to stock and remove the CAI is one was ever defected?

    Okay I will explain this now.. a resonator DOES NOT remove any dB or quiten your exhaust in anyway... it's purpose is to change resonance therefore exhaust note going deeper hence it's name sake. hot dogs are the most useless pieces of shit although they are mandatory on a B-series methinks to get rid of the lawnmower sound... EG/DC did come with factory resonators... had a compeltely stock system at one stage except catback with no reso... sounded horrible.

    The only 2 things that will quieten your exhaust (and backpressure) are:
    - Mid Muffler
    - Spiral flow resonators

    Do not be disillusioned by the note change into thinking it quitens your exhaust... depending on quality 2dB MAX


    Cops are trained to GENERALLY identify induction parts including EGR/breather stuff... it's the reason i ended up selling my cai despite painting it black... the only way to hide it is to modify your airbox so the pipe goes through it... makes it look like a stocko system.

    and as for quite exhausts... man for the majority of you that have never been noise tested... i'll tell you this, i have never realised how quiet 90dB is... a completely stock engine with full factory resonated induction system still sounds louder at 5700rpm than the 97dB i originally clocked.

    I love modding guys but with the additional strictness starting this year.. i'm over putting pissy mods like cai/wai/exhaust... want power, get a different car or do internal work.


    ***EDIT***
    oh btw, cops do take pics now too and send to the authorities (DECC/RTA)

    whats the point of putting it back on and getting caught the second time... that'd be fun i'm sure.. i'm aware from every club/forum i'm on that Adelaide/NT/WA ain't as strict as anywhere else... but it seems your moving to NSW... fun owning a car here...

    ^^ maybe he was referring to the resonator that sits behind your front bar?

    if thats the case then yeah it's noiseless you won't even hear or feel vtec kick in.... and my vtec is definitely noticable only coz i had the crossover switched to 5200rpm.

    the full oem stock parts suck on performance!!

    not sure if any of you had your car completely stock when you got it but the engine is the loudest thing on the car on load or not

    DSP ---> is NSW as strict as ACT? As I'm moving to ACT. What are the additional laws of this year that you're talking about?

    Also, I've seen the Injen black painted CAIs, maybe these would be wiser?
