6R Polo GTI Middle Muffler Delete

[MrDeathLad]

Are there any legalities regarding having no rear muffler?

[nomadx38]

"Technically" no. There are 2 conditions for an exhaust system for a car.

1: the car may not bypass or create more emissions as a by product of a exhaust modification

2: the car may not make more than 90DB of sound 1m from the rear of the car @4000rpm.

Also I think there is legislation that says you may not increase the power output of the car but I think that refers to performance exhaust manifolds and high flow cats. Making a straight pipe from the resonator will create a bit more flow but 1-2kw tops hardly "performance" orientated and obviously is way past the cat so there is no change in emissions.

Because the polo is a 1.2L there is very little displacnt for it to make a lot of noise. But nether less I will be checking with a metre to make sure it is within limits but from what I heard from Marcus BILT polo it's "louder" but not over the top like a comodore or falcon with a straight exhaust.

Slightly off topic, has anyone heard of a mechanical warranty claim not being accepted because of an exhaust modification, such as a muffler delete?

[Nuggos]

nope, long straw that one is
