Hey guys. In Huron County, in Ontario, we don't have emissions testing. I'm curious though, do you know what the government's plans are for e-tests? I heard that they will be scrapping DriveClean. I just don't know if when I get my exhaust system, whether I should get a presilencer, or a cat? Also, do we have noise laws in Ontario? Would a cat converter just be a good idea anyway? If so, I'll be getting a freeflower. Thanks

Rick

 

I'm in Bruce county. I just put on an RB header and presilencer. Man I love it. Cops haven't bothered me at all. Yes there are noise laws...but you'd be fine if you don't tramp on the throttle in town or while passing a cop. Still idles extremely quiet. Last I heard was that they will be scrapping it all together. Diminishing returns basically.

 

if you don't have emmision testing where you are i would just get a nice presilencer
the ones i have sound full since the walls are so thick so if i ever got stopped and a cop tried to hit them (if he could actually reach under the car) he wouldn't know they're not Cats..

 

i got pulled over 26 hours after having my new exhaust on, they just don't care in bruce grey.


what part ofhuron are you in?!?! i live in Sarnia and Kincardine, if your in goderich area we should meet up some time.

 

You ever heard of Exeter? That's where I'm at. Isn't it illegal to remove the cats though?

 

"Q" Isn't it illegal to go over the posted speed limit?

"A" Only if you get caught.

you know what i realized? there's no emissions testing where i have my car either!!

and here i was freaking out about having to get e-tested.
lol.

this is ******* great.



aaanyway,
there is no noise law per se, just if someone complains you may get in trouble...as long as you have "stock" emissions equipment and a proper muffling device...even if it's loud, just try not to draw attention and use silencers if possible. that's what i do. haven't been pulled over...*yet*

 

wait i minute are you that guy with the FB that lives next door to Timmies In Exeter? because if you are, i have seen it many times.

 

Nope not me, but I know the guy that owns it. I have an FC, but I still don't live much farther past Timmies. If you come into town from the north, you'll pass Tims, keep going and you'll come to a bridge (.7 Km). I live right up by the bridge.

 

if there is no etesting in ur part of ontario are you allowed to remove all emission stuff then?

 

Removing emission equipment is strictly illegal.

Replacing old broken equipment is not =P

 

I live in cambridge, but my address on my drivers license is in huron county. This is solely to avoid emmissions testing.

 

so if i dont need to worry about emission on my cat gets clogged can i knock it out?

 

You're still in an "Emissions restricted" part of Ontario. I'd say no...

 

I agree rick_tj.

What I would worry about is that clogged cat. That could kill your motor pretty quick. So I hear.

 

yeah think of it as fecal compaction for your motor.

 

Free-flowing cat. Works well, and legally.

 

I agree with rick_tj, damn man your having a great week aren't you? lol

 

Well no, actually. The 86 GXL I bought needed new floors, so its been up at the shop all week. I should get 'er back tomorrow, and I start the body work for safety.

 

My cat isnt clogged anymore.

Either way no one really answered the question. My car ISNT in a "emissions restricted" area and it did have a clogged cat before. So is it illegal for me to be running a gutted cat then?

 

yes, gutted cat is illegal you have to have some sort of catylist on your car, well "have to" i sure as hell don't.

 

Isn't Kincardine in a non-emissions restricted county?

 

yes it sure is, but i live in Sarnia for school, but my lisense and insurance say Kincaride still, and my car has a driveclean sticker.

 

Excellent.

 

lol, driveclean sticker! i have one of those too


oh, and just because you are in one of these "non-emission restricted" areas doesn't mean you can run without your cats. i think the law is that you are not to touch or replace anything on your emissions equipment unless it is an OEM part or certified aftermarket item...
