Uhoh. Sneaky new noise rules for WoF. Make sure you've got your standard cans.

Go down to your latest testing station, most of those guys are tone deaf anyhow

Gotta love powervalves, close to pass, open them as you walk out

**paturoa** · 1st March 2007, 19:35

So I supose they have also thought about me swapping the microns for the standard cans to get the WOF and then swapping back (would take less than 30 minutes on the SV)

Is there anything proposed about that?

Nope, that'll still be a goer.

I read it and there is such a thing as LTSA. Now off to google you go and you wil find they are the same thing. So there is such an entity contrary to what you just said. Look at Ixions origional link it was LTSA and that stands for land transport safety Authority. No ifs or buts on that either.

**Motu** · 1st March 2007, 20:36

No,I still can't find anything about LTSA,it's all LTNZ.

Show me a link to LTSA.....a current one,like,it's 2007 y'know.

**terbang** · 1st March 2007, 20:52

You are correct they have changed the name to LTNZ and the LTSA is from the past.
Happy.
Now back to my origional question. What is the safety issue with vehicle noise..?

My 1999 GSX-R 750 has a full stainless race kit and is only 97 db at 4500 RPM. So is it legal? Should I remove the band that has " Not for road use" on it?

I did hear they are going to give plod a hand held test kit. Piss him/her off and you get to pay that tax as well
