Is It Illegal to Modify a Motorcycle with Akrapovic Exhaust?
1 Answers
Modifying a motorcycle with an Akrapovic exhaust is illegal. Without approval from the traffic management department, installing an Akrapovic exhaust on a motorcycle is against the law. The penalty for modifying a motorcycle's exhaust includes being ordered to restore it to its original condition, along with a warning or a fine. According to legal regulations, unauthorized changes to a motorcycle's engine type, exhaust pipe modifications, adding rear spoilers, or installing additional front searchlights will result in an order to restore the vehicle to its original state. Road Traffic Safety Law: Article 16, Item 1 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle without authorization or alter its structure, construction, or characteristics. Acts considered as modifications: Unauthorized modifications to a motor vehicle's chassis, engine, suspension, transmission system, steering system, tires and rims, lights, paint color, or external body structure without permission from the public security traffic management department, as well as any technical data that does not match the data published by the State Council's motor vehicle product administration department, are considered illegal modifications.
