Will traffic police check modified car exhaust tips?

Traffic police will check modified car exhaust tips. Below is relevant information about vehicle configurations: Tire pressure monitoring function: Tire pressure plays a crucial role in driving. If tire pressures are uneven, it often leads to increased fuel consumption, louder tire noise, and significantly reduced passenger comfort during driving. The tire pressure monitoring function can monitor the tire pressure status of each tire in real-time and display it on the vehicle's onboard computer. Main and co-driver airbags: To ensure the safety of passengers in the most dangerous positions in the vehicle, although the effectiveness of airbags is far less than that of seat belts, even an additional 1% safety indicator can save a life.
I previously modified my exhaust tips and here’s my practical experience to share with you: Simply swapping decorative exhaust tips (without altering the exhaust pipe structure) rarely gets checked—it’s like putting a decorative necklace on your car. However, if you install a straight pipe or a loud "street bomb" style, revving the engine at night will instantly trigger the traffic police’s passive skills. Last week, a friend installed titanium exhaust tips and cut the original exhaust, resulting in failed emissions during inspection, a fine, and a roadblock. Key points to watch: whether the exhaust pipe diameter exceeds the factory specs by 20% and whether noise levels surpass 90 decibels—these are all documented in the DMV records. My advice: Keep the original parts when modifying, and spend half an hour swapping them back before the annual inspection for peace of mind. Nowadays, traffic cops patrol with decibel meters.
