Should i worry about the iva???
Hi everyone, the plan is to start building in the new year so by the time i get finished the new iva will most likely be in place, from what i have heard you are not going to be able to have any hot bits of the exhaust system exposed, is there ways round this ie hiding the exhaust or someway of nicely covering it, oh most likely be a blade engine if that makes a difference.
Merry Christmas everybody Cheers Dean

my opinion is that the iva should be fine as long as you build the car to iva standard. as for the hot exhaust all you will need to do is make a manifold that comes out as low as possible on the body then put a carbon exhaust sheild over the hot bits. problem solved.
it wont be any different to the sva. people will jump through the hoops to pass then change the car to how they want it after the test.

i believe the hot exhaust section in iva has had an exception added to it for side exit exhausts to be contactable below knee hight. you still have to comply with radius and a good builder will allways try to cover the exhaust the best they can anyway.
at the end of the day were all in the dark until they release the final draft of the test.

There's not much difference between SVA and IVA apart from the eye watering price increase

It should pass but there is never a guarantee. All you can do is build the car to your best interpretation of the rules and take it for the test. If it fails you will get a list of things that need fixing, you then go home fix them and take it back for a retest. When I said radius I mean there can’t be no sharp edges on the exhaust e.g. turn the exhaust clamps inwards etc.
