Emission testing through the authorised lab is something like $8000 a time, this cost would have to be factored into "x" amount of product, many people already consider Nizpro gear expensive and will not use it and turn to cheaper product, but if they need to be tested at any stage it would end up costing them more.

If made emission complient, you would not be able to change it an anyway, including tune otherwise it would not meet the tested standards.

The tune also has to be emission complient, you do not just bolt on approved gear and are legal.

Nizpro's approval on BA/F was done using a standard exhaust, Possum can step in and clear that up if incorrect, I think their FG testing used their own exhaust but with a Flapper on the tailpipe (which we are still waiting on for Bels G6ET, maybe Possum can chase that one for me also)

Having a peice of paper may not stop you from going to be tested, but having it may mean the difference between having to return the car back to stock or not to be tested

here's a car we were involved in

I dont understand how nizpro can go and sell epa approved kits and then fark it all up with a custom tune.

unless they are doing generic tunes with their kits.

I'd make a guess that when their kit goes back to the epa on a car then they have to change the tune to the epa friendly one. As other people have said, once you deviate from that kit then it is no longer epa compliant. If Nizpro can get their kit through then anyone else can as well with the right tune mainly. Just costs the dollars.

Surely the EPA does not approve of non complying cars running around that will only pass with a re tune. If this is how it works then it's some sort of loophole.

Exactly and seeing as you live in Ballarat you will undoubtedly go through an EPA station at some stage :f*ckyou:

that's about the only loop hole we have that's in our favor !! still inconvenient unless you have a fancy flasher thingo lol.

This is the first car I have done as a sleeper and using mostly stock parts I still get worried if I get canaried for something stupid just annoying to go get a rwc and goto vicroads some sh*t you can live without, also always happens at most annoying times.
