What are the regulations on getting a W.O.F with this exhaust?

umm there is no longer a dB level which is required to be under, there was in the 1976 traffic regulations along with an internationally recognised testing procedure.............but they replaced that with a GREY law that they could use to get anyone they didnt like, ie boy racers etc or anyone that pisses them off without the need for things such as evidence

I doubt you would be aloud on a NZ race track with a 105db exhuast.....so I really doubt you'll be aloud to have it on the road...

Did I say you were?? All i said is they have removed the quantified standards with a subjective one. Typical of our gunnmint to write these shit laws!

But with the current law a 429 Shelby Cobra with Drainpipes for exhausts is fine as that how they left the factory! If thats how it comes from the factory you are fine no matter how loud it is!

if you have a WOF and you can show you got the WOF with the current exhaust and your not a cock to the cop what grounds does he have to green sticker you?

Sweet so all I have to do it get a glass etch kit and a stensil and etch GSX-R on it and say it is factory.

Yeah, but it'd be a crime against humanity to make a car like that illegal.

You may see a million and one GSXR's, R1's, CBR's etc one the roads, but you wont see many Shelby Cobra's on the road - even less that are genuine.

Was a nice one in Taka the other day sitting there at the lights idleing, funny how every guy stopped and just watched in awe, especially if they were with a woman who just kept walking whilst they stood there and admired the beast!

I followed one on my 600 a few years back coming out from Huia. He was doing a fair clip, but not overly pushing it, despite my best efforts to egg him on! Really wanted him to open it up to see what it could do. Love the concept of a whopping great V8 in a small light body.

Anyway, sorry guys for the thread hijack. I'm not a fan of the ICE pipes myself, but I'd probably go for the quieter one if I was you. 105db's gonna be loud, annoyingly so I would have thought.

What's this talk about removing the 'servo'? Does the GSXR have an exaust valve kind of like EXUP etx?
I'm thinking that if you remove it you'll lose some bottom end/midrange - probably get a whole lot extra up top. Do you spend most of your time riding above 11,000rpm? Something to think about...

Nah I don't think they lose midrange at all in my experience.

if they give you a ticket.. you can fight it using the " where are the testing perameters?" defense..

laws are not subjective.. they have SPECIFIC laws on speed.. DWI, Specific perameters on how much tread on your tires..how much tint on your windows ..

where is it written on noise levels at what distance and RPM, indoors or out?
