What aftermarket components create more ground clearance on a falcon lol, whilst maintaining stock height or even moar low. Coz I'd be interested in these parts Edited 14/08/15 12:16 AM by barnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may not be any easy method to do this with Falcon's, but there's plenty of other makes/models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modify the exhaust in any way and the car needs to pass a 5 gas test - it will fail with the aftermarket cat. I need to avoid the 5 gas test by putting on a standard dump pipe and cat for the rego inspection. Hence my suggestion to do so. You'll also need stock injectors and injector values and fuel maps plugged back in if you want to guarantee a pass, plus you'll need to tone the boost down as they may run it into boost when they run it up.

But we are talking actually getting in & making a new tune almost anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2011 the Nizpro car went straight over AS IS. And they dont come much more modified than that.Any modification to the exhaust system requires a 5-gas test. Most stuff in the engine bay is just a matter of paperwork (eg pod filter). The engineer isn't sure if the Plazmaman intake will require more than paperwork (ie 5-gas test). If the Nizpro car had a non-standard dump pipe, cat and mufflers then it should have gone through a 5-gas test. Sounds like they might have found someone who turned a blind-eye?Plenty of dodgy inspections were going on a few years ago, but Dept of Transport got onto it and kicked various arses. All vehicles that were inspected by certain people were then recalled to be re-inspected by someone else.Maybe I'll have to go through a country drive one afternoon through some country towns and see if I can find someone who's not as fussed as Perth workshops.

It was fully inspected by a Perth pit at oconnor . All I did was take the 9.5 inch rear rims off.
