The blue truck is not that loud though. Flowmaster 40s. It’s not fast enough to be obnoxiously loud , lol.
The black one has a turbo
Between the motor and the tailpipe…..hahaha. It’s loud even if you’re tone deaf where you can’t h
Problem here you cannot modify the vehicles unless you have an engineering certificate. So the bulk of them eun around as stock
Sounds horrible…
Tell me about it. They seem to be very strict on personal freedom in regards to vehicle modifications over there in the name of safety even though lifted trucks don't cause more accidents than stock vehicles. While I am not a huge fan of trucks that are lifted for show and are way past their usability, I understand that there are many people who like them and should have the freedom to make it their own.
There seems to be a "huge aftermarket modification scene Down Under" according to the article below and a few others that I have read, but the government cracks down really hard on modifications that you do yourself unless you pay an exorbitant amount of money to a shop that has the license to do so. No wonder it is not as big over there since the aftermarket truck scene seems to be dictated more by regulations rather than what the people want.
Australia Cracks Down On Illegally Lift
ed Pickup Trucks
Lifted Pickups are a very niche market but RV accesories and GVM upgrades are huge( How big is ARB in the US or Redarc?). I would baulk at DYO suspension modifications, so havibg an engineering approval for what you have done is the right way to go. There is no "'freedom" in a poorly done modification.

Could not agree more very much why they are extreme niche here. They are a thing in the US and posdibly Canada
