Just to check I am understanding this. The Cats you have fitted on your PACE 427 are what HSV use to get their engines to pass Euro 5 emissions standard.

Australia wide for registration we only need to meet ADR 37/01 emissions level which is an old USA emissions level that was used before Euro emissions. So ADR 37/01 is actually about 5 levels of emissions older than Euro 5. So significantly less stringent requirement when it comes to emissions levels.

So by fitting the factory Cats it should give you extremely good emissions result.

IM240 is the type of test, not level. I expect you know that, it is read like it wasn't for anyone else reading that is new to emissions.
Hi Craig,

Yes, I believe that HSV and Holden are using these very cats on the VF models to pass the current Euro 5 emissions.

And yes,the IM240 is a type of test. From what I understand you either pass it or fail it and you get one go. Retests incur a new $800 (roughly) testing fee. Every VIC and NSW ICV that is going for full rego has to take and pass this test. In Victoria,Vipac are the only ones who can administer the test.

Cheers
Sime
