its all legal, so thay wouldnt say anything, but thay might laugh at you, lol

[EvilChief]

anything bar turbo or supercharger is legal for p platers

[SS_Brute]

i didn't think modifications were permitted for P platers?????

[aussie]

maybe but with the extractors n cai ill just say its for economy lol and the rest thy cant see

[Falconxf88]

Its all legal. I dont believe that "No modifications are allowed that require a modification plate" because what about baby seats in say a duel cab Rodeo? That requires a mod plate. Same with a few other things.

[starlet666]

the mod plate thing is bull, they are allowed so many plate mods, but no engine swaps, turbos, blowers, crap like that.....

[jlord16]

For those intrested here is the applicabale rules and legislation
No hearsay, no opinions, just the facts

Note the part that says "a modified engine that must be approved". Nothing to stop you putting a baby seat in a duel cab rodeo or similar, but you cant have any mod plated modifications relating to the engine itself.

Honestly sucks to be a P plater these days ..........

[Romeo]

if the CAI has an open pod they'll pin you for it. Other than that you'll be all good assuming the exhaust is at or below the legal sound limit

[jlord16]

Unenclosed pod filters are not illegal in QLD mate, only in the southern states, however it must be adequately secured with a bracket or similar.

I cant be bothered to relocate the legislation on this, but on a side note the vehicle must still comply with ADR83- External Noise

[starlet666]

yer i have never been pinned on my pod filter (although they cant really see it unless they burn themselves trying as it is mounted to the snout of the turbo) also the cops up here can be pretty relaxed, i havent been stung on anything bar a blown headlight like 2 years ago, and i have a bov that sits high and proud, a catchcan with a filter on it, and a few other things that they can easy defect me on....

easiest way is to not be a dick when they pull u up and u wont get hassled about anything

[SR180]

x2 Don't drive like a dick and be nice to the officer, lol lol ...
I got done for my catch can once ... everytime I get pulled over they think my dose pipe is a bov and I just lol ...
