Cameron02 Member 164 Member For: 12y 4m 13d Posted 19/12/12 10:27 AM Author Share Posted 19/12/12 10:27 AM I read, on this forum I think that police can issue one of these if the see you drive past and think "hmm, that's loud". However the guy at the EPA I just spoke to says the notice may have been issued to the previous owner. Im pretty sure the car is legal, its not as loud as my AC Cobra replica and that is legal. The guy at the EPA was decent though. Before I could ask he said he would try and get me an extension as it was short notice and nearly Xmas etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83273-epa-a-must-read/#findComment-1338941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky too if it was the previous owner... maybe he knew... o-0 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83273-epa-a-must-read/#findComment-1338943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had the car 6 days.Mods are :FPV intercoolerClutchHi flow catcentre muffler removed (just found out tonight)As far as I know its running standard tune, so emissions should be uneffected.

Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 14y 3m 3d Posted 19/12/12 10:40 AM Share Posted 19/12/12 10:40 AM They nearly fail a noise test standard. So with muffler removed it will be above 92db no worries.
