Well, I have been done for too low and too loud... but when I got done for too loud, it was a letter in the mail, and when I got done for too low, it was on chapel st and they were dicking everyone that drove past... So I don't have a clean record, but def not as bad as Henz lol

Last Friday night on the way home there was a smokin hot blonde chick at the shell servo on the prinny just outside westfield naza waza. I stepped on it and she looked over. Before I let go of the throttle I noticed she was a cop walking back to an unmarked grey VE. Too late though. STTUUTUTUTUTUTUTUTU

We ended just going our separate ways.

Can't say I have ever had any issues with cops. Except for one telling me I can get a fine for fog lights being on.

In regards to cats I remember hearing that us ute drivers can remove them legally, as in a commercial vehicle which may be driven in areas such as paddocks, grass covered blocks, uncleared areas they prove a greater fire risk as they heat up more than the rest of the exhaust? Seems contradictory to the rest of the EPA business but at the same time I can see merit in it

a quick search on google gave me this answer:

for commercial vehicles with a GVM of over 2.7T and pre-dating

ADR 37/01, which was progressively implemented in the late 1990s.

In ADR 37, 37/00 and 37/01, there are 2 different sets of emission limits.

One set is for cars and commercials with a GVM under 2.7T, the other is for

commercials over 2.7T GVM.

In practice, the emission limits were such that the more lenient limits were

able to be achieved without needing cat convertors.

The limits for >2.7T vehicles in ADR 37/01 are more strict than the limits

for cars in ADR 37/00, so the later ones all run cats. The new euro emission

rules are even worse.

so from what I can gather without going into the ADR docs is that having no cat was the case in pre late 90s commercial vehicles. Still might give the mods section of SA roads a call tomorrow and find out for certain.

If you remove the Cat and operate only on private property who's gonna book you for it.. But it is a valid point. When I was in the government, 2 of the surveyors utes caught fire one day because they drove about 400km to a work site.. Pulled over in knee high dry grass and started work..

However typically the classification of a commercial utility (per ATO) is a utility which has a 1 tonne carrying capacity..
