EXHAUST SYSTEM MANUFACTURING FOR A QUIETER ENVIRONMENT. MOTOR VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC NOISE; AUSTRALIAN ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY 1985 CONFERENCE, PROCEEDINGS, 24 TO 26 NOVEMBER, 1985, LEURA GARDENS, NSW
In keeping with the sophisticated design of modern high performance engines the techniques of exhaust system design have also advanced. It is no longer a trial and error approach but a highly scientific exercise to design a system to meet all criteria. The future of the exhaust systems manufactured in Australia is dependent on the factors of: 1) economics of manufacture in a high labour cost environment; 2) access to appropriate materials, currently aluminised material is fully imported from Japan; 3) effects of on- costs such as workers compensation, payroll tax, shift penalties, and wage benefits; 4) limiting imports, particularly from developing nations; 5) legislation on noise levels which could preclude current designs; 6) local manufacture of motor vehicles. We in the manufacturing sector want to continue with the highest possible standards, however, the need to manufacture is being eroded and unless we have in-service enforcement of noise legislation and a government committed to improving the environment then we are a small voice in the country crying the very familiar protectionist measures. The number of the covering record for the conference is IRRD 283994. (TRRL)
