Not the most atractive design I've seen. The collector looks pretty ordinary.

Not sure how he can claim they are ADR approved?

Cheers

I can see it now...

Police Officer: "...you appear to be running side exhausts..."

Craig: "Officer, these side exhausts are legal, I bought them off ebay and the guy said they were ADR approved."

Police Officer: [doubled over because he is laughing so hard]

Default Re: ADR for pipes

Sorry to put a damper on the jocularity but I suggest you all reread all the text of the add.

Why, he mentions he has ADR compliant side pipes available. I would like to see that paperwork.

More than likely he might have bundled in some cats and made them quiet enough to pass the required sound levels. I don't think any regulatory body actually will approve side pipes.

If side pipes could be made legal these days, I reckon Superformance would have done it. They have a ADR compliant 347 stroker, now that's dedication. And a lot of other features on their cars that the rest of us cannot get approved.

I am fairly sure Robnell's were being registered with working live side pipes.
see this thread CR Sidepipes

That's the rumour...if they did get them approved, we should be able to get them approved.

In QLD the main sticking point is exhaust exiting to the passenger side of the vehicle. Seems that Robnell's had the exhaust pointing downwards. Maybe that is a way around that legislation.
