Badder Neutral Newbie October 17, 2011 Share October 17, 2011 Aftermarket xos without LTA cert will NEVER pass any inspection. wrong I had a box on a previous lotus that was 105db full throttle (I kid you not) on idle is 95db. It passed inspection on idle. if id touched the throttle i would have failed..... if it looks stock(ish) a bit of luck and you 'coast' in and out inspection not touching the throttle it is possible to get away with it.

Errm, the authorities in SG don't care about noise levels. You can have the quietest exhaust with the least emissions, and it will still fail unless it has a cert.

You can have the quietest exhaust with the least emissions, and it will still fail unless it has a cert. ah hello emissions has nothing to do with the exhaust and there is a sound level test as part of the car inspection. if over 95db (iirc) wont pass inspection i have never once been asked to show an exhaust cert because (AS I SAID) so long as it LOOKS stock they assume it is and dont ask to see a cert.

Badder Neutral Newbie October 24, 2011 Share October 24, 2011 (edited) Not to mention that the inspection staff, not you, drive through the inspection process. nope. The last time i did it (3yrs ago) I drove car through. Everytime before that, I drove the car through. Have they changed that in last 3 yrs? Maybe they always let me drive it through because my cars were always 'exotic' and actually quite hard to get in and out of lol Edited October 24, 2011 by Badder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is...you are never the one that drives the car during inspection. If your exhaust tab a bit only will roar...how pass ? My straight thru exhaust is also quiet when idle...but go inspection fail...the only escape for me is it was a COE car. I told the inspector that its a replacement cos can't find the original. FYI...this exhaust is so loud...whenever I am in a underground carpark...I just drive pass any car with shock sensors...it will trigger the alarm.There was once I blast thru the underground carpark at KLCC...tigger every damn car's alarm on both sides....

[laugh] i only write about what i have done. whenever i took my lotus to vicom they let me drive to the (1st? ) exhaust station, they didnt ask me to rev it (luckily) and it passed. Maybe it was because they didnt want to get in my car, maybe they changed the way they do it i dont know - all i know for sure is they let me drive it and i didnt rev it (i was expecting it to fail so was quite surprised when it passed) dont think i set off any alarms but 105db (which my exhaust was) certainly gives hearing loss. I had to wear earplugs driving to sepang or id be deaf when i got there. My current exhaust is about the same but its less 'boomy' funny thing last month i went to a newly opened circuit near tokyo they have sound level max allowed at the circuit of 95db.....like many now....as they checked it the guy asked me 'what is cars red line at?" i lied and said 6000 ( LOL, he said ok "please take it to 4500" i almost died of laughing when he passed my car as having 85db exhaust (measured at 4500 rpm......) 20 mins later im screaming past him on the straight at 8500rpm 2nd cam fully open 105db screaming out. As i left he did mutter something about my car got louder Edited October 24, 2011 by Badder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider 3rd Gear October 24, 2011 Share October 24, 2011 Emmision is BS lor...for a CAT convertor to be functioning...it has to be at a correct temp...can't remember the exact temp...but somebody told me once it should be about 30 mins of normal driving... So unless one drives from Jurong to Changi for inspection...most CAT would not be in operating temp. So unless your car is super mis tune or spilling black smoke...dun think anyone will fail. with or without CAT. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
