This is NSW legislation.
However it says on the DECC (what the epa is now called) web site much lower values. I have a feeling that the high values may be what you get if prosecuted in court (contest the fine) and the on the spot fines (if you choose to accept them) may be less.
I will have a chat to a colleage of mine that i work with tomorrow. He previously worked for a local council issuing environmental fines so has a pretty good understanding of the legislation.
Rob i agree with you about ICV's not being standard production cars and hence they may not know, but keep in mind the compliance plate on the vehicle shows the year and they will then know what ADR to check against. The guy that got the fine said they didnt really know anything about cars, just knew he had other mods from the readings. Probably didnt want to go into it because he didnt know how
I just posted this info to share with everyone. Will i still be running live side pipes? Hell yes!!
But like you i will be trying to make them semi quiet and use cats.
gjkrv8, i dont know about the bike. Those things are super loud, not just Harleys but all bikes with aftermarket exhausts. We have a group that ride past our house late at night on most nights and i always get woken up they are so loud. Im sure they get their share of fines. The thing that i find rediculous is the ones that sit there reving them every five seconds when at lights or riding slowly. Thats just a wank!
