    if they cant see it they have rights to fail you... i got failed cos i had a sub box in my old corolla... A) because they couldnt get to the spair wheel and B) because the bo wasnt fasened...

    I got around that buy just not having a spare! The WOF inspection manual is written something like 'Spare tyre must have legal tread if fitted...' Meaning you dont legaly have to have one.

    yeah i learnt that lesson latter on... lol i have an amp in my wheel well now :P

    lol how easy would it be to hide it from them though (if they cant see it, its not there lol)

    Wof is only a visal check so next time could i make something to cover it and bolt it in there so they cant see it?

    Make sure 6x9s are attached properly, then big sub box in the boot...that's how i got away with it in an old corolla.

    GRRRR How pissed i am at VTNZ!!!

    Took my leggy to get a warrent yesterday and it passed everything..bar...exhaust notes(aftermarketBB)

    Guy told me if i took it to Pitstop to get a silencer, would be sweet....so, i went and did that...Pitstop guy gve it a db reading of 90 whick legally is 93 or 91...either way still legal!

    Went back to VTNZ and guess what...yep, failed!!

    Man how pissed i was, spent 60 bucks to get a silencer installed(like VTNZ guy said) and he still failed it...i said to him it was db metered at 90 which he said its up too the warrent person and it still sounds too loud to him and if i wanted to get an indepent test would cost like $350...

    Only other options is to go back to factory or get an extra muffler put on along the exhaust...what a fricken drama?

    Oh and the exhaust sounds good, not riddiculously loud or anything and probably 90% of aftermarketed exhausts are MUCH louder..

    ANY other ideas guys??

    im assuming this is VTNZ Dunedin?

    i had the same issues in my GTB wich was also measures by Magoo at 90DB (maybe a little over)

    what i did was got it in writing from Magoo and went to see the boss of all the dunedin VTNZ stations... (name escapes me right now... Maybe Warren) he looked at it and passed it there and then... said a few of his staff were pricks...

    take it to him and tell him about the scilencer and all that and see what he says...
