Is It Illegal to Modify the Exhaust Pipe Position?

[DiMaddox]

Modifying the exhaust pipe position is illegal. Article 16 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles" by the Ministry of Public Security stipulates: The following modifications are allowed for small and micro passenger vehicles: installation of front and rear anti-collision devices; for freight vehicles: installation of windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc.; and interior decoration of motor vehicles. Illegal modifications include: Changing the brand, model, or engine type of a motor vehicle, or altering the registered appearance and technical data of a motor vehicle are considered illegal modifications. Modifications such as changing the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed motor vehicle, replacing the frame, body, or engine, all require the owner to apply for a change of registration with the vehicle management office. Installing spoilers, body kits, or modifying exhaust pipes are, in principle, not permitted.
