Can a car pass the annual inspection after adding an exhaust pipe?

[Rosemary]

It cannot pass the annual inspection. Adding an exhaust pipe to a car is considered altering the vehicle's appearance. Here is the relevant information: 1. Changing a single exhaust to a fake dual exhaust, adding a fake exhaust pipe, or replacing the tail section of the exhaust pipe with a larger diameter are all considered alterations to the vehicle's appearance, which constitutes illegal modification, and thus cannot pass the annual inspection. However, under certain conditions, you can remove the fake exhaust pipe before each annual inspection and reinstall it afterward. 2. The new regulations on vehicle modification implemented in 2019 have relaxed restrictions on modified vehicles. If you make legal modifications such as changing the body color or modifying the bumper style, you can register the changes with the vehicle management office. Once the modifications are recorded, the vehicle can be legally driven on the road.
