Muffler with welding mark can pass LTA inspection?

[Boyboy]

did u do CAI? do CAI, air filter as well to complement ur mod. aftermarket CAI will give ur ride a nice boomy sound as well, if that's what u like. dun even need to touch exos..

 

my CAI is louder than my...

actually , wat i would suggest is just to get a universal muffler or a custom one from man or fongkim and then keep ur stock muffler as spare.decat pipes would be good to allow for a more freeflowing exhaust system as well.as long as u dun get tow back for throughout inspection, chances that u get caught is very minimal .

[Rb26dett]

Probably your car has got muffler made specially for it? Most exhaust shop I ask says welding is required otherwise if dun wan welding got to op the original exhaust.

 

ya i think thats the reason too.have been trying out these few sets of exhaust and didnt see my mech weld a single bit.hks legamax,hks silent hi,fujitsubo legalis r, aps turboback , apexi n1 , blitz nur spec r.

Mine is not chiong car leh of cos no exhaust made specially for it :P

when you operate a muffler ,they open it ,remove stuff inside,replace some nicer stuff and weld it back.The welding part when they place it back is always facing upwards .

Thus chances of spotting it is quite rare even if they are at the bottom of your car.

what happen if ur car drive in for inspection, then fail inspection?

 

window tinting got inspection or not? can drive in then wind down window?

[Contax]

they will tell you what failed.go get it rectified after that and come back again lor.

[Totallypatrick]

Any chances of the sound insulating material deteriorating after some time? Meaning it will get louder and louder..

[Tohdj]

ask them to weld it on the top side of the muffler. when they inspect...they usually view it form the bottom.

[Teriyaki]

come back again means re-inspection? need to pay 1 more time?

 

i heard STA no need right?

 

they allow how many items to fail ah?

 

then anyone can advise me if they got inspection window tinting?

[Wyv9]

Yup, it will get louder as time passes... Usually last for about 3 years then u will need to op again...

 

The op line can still be seem from bottom if the inspector is sharp enough. However, it is usually not a problem if the sound is below the max level, i.e. not too loud. In any case, the muffler is to reduce the noise. Since it is not too loud, it is not a problem. ;)

[Contax]

i dunno this one must ask ICE expert.

[Contax]

1)

2)yes you need to pay again , aprox $50 ++

3)1 item not up to their requirement they can ask you come back again.

Hrrr....does anybody knows where to get a new exhaust + installation done at the same place ?

 

My usual mechanic in yishun only does the installation, they dont sell it.

 

I just found out, my car's ex owner modify the exhaust. Can see the welding spots on 2 diff sections!!!! Now its slanted to one side and touching the wall, giving out rattling sounds over humps.

I go to MAN exhaust in Sinmin. Blk 11, Sin Ming Industrial Estate Sector B, #01-77

Telephone: 64587053

 

Other's are Jeep Chee or Fong Khim in ubi area.

Mine also come with the welded muffler. Inspected this Jan and there is no problem. As long as the welding is good and there is no small gaps for the exhaust to leak out, then should be ok.

Man Exhuast noted. Thanks

 

Have u heard of Min Ghee Auto b4 ? I browse thier webby and call them up. Seems like they have lots of spare parts for many makes of cars. They have ex-stocks of the original Sonata door rubber linning and even the exhaust.
