does anyone know the DOT regulations on side pipes? :scarymovie: :scarymovie: :scarymovie: :scarymovie: :scarymovie: :scarymovie: :scarymovie: :scarymovie:

Pretty sure only legal on utes and might be able to put one on 2 door sedan, has to be so many mm from last opening seal and has to exit on passenger side I think.

300 mm from most rearward opening.

From the NCOP

 

 

The outlet of an exhaust system must be rearwards of any passenger side entry door or opening

window. If any part of the exhaust system, including the outlet pipe, extends beyond the profile of

the body (other than on the underside), it must be shielded. Exhaust outlets must also meet the

requirements of ADR 42/… where applicable. Vehicles manufactured after June 1988 must not

have the exhaust exiting to the left of the vehicle.

 

 

ADR 42 doesn't seem to say anything about MA group vehicles.

 

 

I am not a lawyer, this is general information only. Seek professional advice before carrying out any modifications. Etc etc etc.

Wouldnt an exhaust shop know, probably best to talk to them, or an engineer/certifier. Then you'd get correct advice (hopefully).

 

I have a funny feeling if it was legal then every fully sick road warrior would have one.
