Exhaust WOF testing. Failed.

The Traffic Regs 1976 were mostly repealed about 10 years ago and weren't written to deal with the situations of the present day so new rules are been written and introduced constantly.

There is also a prescribed method for an objective test and it has to be carried out by a low volume vehicle certifier, so it is not dubious.

An objective test conducted under dubious conditions and procedures not following any prescribed standards at that.

You are thinking of the subjective noise test,which requires no meter,just the the tester to say,''I think that's too loud''.Using a meter is just to give visual proof that it's noisier than a stock system.

You can point your finger all you like. We are after all in NZ, land of fingerpointers..

The loud vehicles? That have the same limit as what was prescribed in the old law?

Which recognised standard of vehicle sound level testing does this test follow?

I am not. The old law specified a BS to follow to test the volume of vehicle. They made one up for the new law.

The First Schedule states "when measured in accordance with test methods laid down in British Standard 3425 or in ISO 362 the maximum permitted noise level shall be-"
rah de rah....

Oh,so you want to use the old laws? That'd be nice,I would too...unfortunatly we have to go with what laws are in place now.
