The fine seemed a little excessive to me, but i dont think he was lying. I am seeing him again tomorrow so i will ask what the name of the offences were.
Apparently the EPA guy that did the sniff test told him that he can tell he has modified the motor but is not going to go that far into it. He had no cats on the car so that is probably the main culpret combined with the ecu tweek.

Point taken.. the RTA is ridiculously bureaucratic and top heavy These cars are ICV's therefore they meet the design standard by the manufacturer (you) and the Australian design rules...So with a production car the rules are straight forward...with an ICV you must carry an abbreviated engineers report and produce this when required. If the EPA bloke could tell the car was modified it must have been pretty well obvious. I don't intend to 'call unnecessary attention' to my vehicle so this is why I'm asking advice for the exhaust noise and it's remedies.
