Hey guys, Xa is up for a wof end of month and Im getting different views on what is legal. Exhaust man said its sweet as to run my pipes out to behind the back wheel or in front if its a coupe. Mines a 4 door so was thinking behind back wheel. Went to see my usual wof man and he said it has to exit out the back yet another wof man told me behind back wheel is fine. What is legit! Currently they dump before diff. Obviously I want to use my usual guy as he has helped me out alot and want to support his business. So thinking I will get them flanged and make a couple of sets of pipes up to change as I feel.

My XA dumped just behind the back wheels, and never had an issue with a WOF (sedan).My HQ was the same (behind back wheels / sedan).I thought the rule was that they had to exit behind the doors! Not a WOF inspector though.I was more concerned with the Db limits for mine :-)

A lot of American cars exhausts exit behind the rear wheel factory so reall could not be fail;ed for doing so but Australian cars exit stock behind the bumper or out the R/H side for reverse angle parking Id set it up like it was stock then no hassles with piggies

5. The exhaust system is so constructed that emitted heat or fumes are likely to harm vehicle occupants, eg the exhaust gases are not directed away from the perimeter of the vehicle??

Yeah I have never had a hassle with exhaust. I go to the gym with alot of cops and they love how it sounds (its bloody loud) ha ha. They know the exhausts dump at diff as I told them when they were checking it out. Ok might go for stock set up but get it flanged. Cheers

Yeah so as they are now under rear seats they are illegal but past back wheels should be sweet

Exit is suppose to be 150mm from the Door/passenger compartment and directed away from the passenger compartment.

Without making me look up the spec's . YEP correct. 150mm beyond the last door opening that has access to the passengers compartment & pointing out 'level or beyond' the door sill.
Saying it that way, includes any passenger doors but excludes any sealed back tool box's

11 Exhaust
11-1 Exhaust system
Reasons for rejection Tables and images Summary of legislation .
Mandatory equipment
1. A vehicle is not fitted with an exhaust system that includes a means of sound reduction (Note 1) (Note 6).
2. A light vehicle is presented for a WoF or CoF because it has been ordered off the road (pink- or green-stickered) by an enforcement officer for non-compliant exhaust noise, and there is no evidence that the vehicle has passed an LVVTA objective noise test since the vehicle was ordered off the road (Note 4), ie:
a) the owner cannot produce a valid objective exhaust noise emissions test certificate (Figure 11-1-1) issued after the vehicle was ordered off the road (Note 5), and
b) the exhaust system tail pipe is not fitted with a valid LVVTA noise test label (Figure 11-1-2).
Condition
3. An exhaust system is not securely mounted.
4. The exhaust system is so constructed or modified that its operation or effectiveness can be readily interfered with, eg the driver is able to interfere with the exhaust system by operating a manual switch, or the exhaust is fitted with a flame thrower kit.
5. The exhaust system is so constructed that emitted heat or fumes are likely to harm vehicle occupants, eg the exhaust gases are not directed away from the perimeter of the vehicle??
