    Anybody know what the current requirement in Victoria is towards non- standard exhaust systems?

    I've imported a dresser with a very nice sounding (to me anyway) Thunderheader exhaust system. I'd like to take it for a RWC very soon, but wonder about what they'll say about the noise level.

    It's not as much the non-standard exhaust as the actual measured sound level.
    If it sounds loud to you, it probably won't pass.
    All depends on your RWC man !

    I think it's something like pre mid 1984 - 100db, post 1984 it's 94 db ?

    I'd say just go for it, I recently had a noisy bike go through both rwc & vic roads inspection with no dramas (vic roads only check papers & numbers)

    Dunno about the RAWS inspection. The bike is 1987, so I'm hoping for just a RWC.
