| Post subject: | Emissions tests |
The EPA are forcing me to get an emissions test and there are some modifications on my S15 that make it non compliant. I have a few questions for someone who has been though a similar thing. I am aware that the car has to be less than 90db at 4800 rpm and less that 2% CO3 etc. What i am after is how thoroughly they go over the car. If i fix up the exhaust and intake will that be enough, or will I need to change out the intercooler and other illegal mods? Also does anyone know a good muffler place in the newcastle/sydney area. I want one that will pass but is as non restrictive as possible. Is a twin exhaust system the best or single, and with two smaller cats or one bigger one? Quick replys are appreciated as i'm on a bit of a deadline |

the best way would be to get your hands on factory intercooler and exhaust trying to get a custom exhaust with less restriction will not give you a guarantee'd pass i rkon, try and get stock parts, ie air filter/box, intercooler, entire exhaust this way you can't get the dick for anything, cos these guys are ruthless.. funny, i just came across this guy, he's lending out some stock s15 stuff so you can pass the epa tests http://www.nissansilvia.com/classifieds/viewlisting.php?view=2437 |

Excellent, this is exactly what i'm looking for. it will save me heaps if it works out. I don't really want to change out the parts permanently as the car is running really well. I'll let you know how it works out |
