hee... b/c the law says so.  Technically, any aftermarket exhaust is illegal.  That is sad...

Btw, I haven't got ticket or VI and I go to richmond everyday with my lightly-modified car.  So I guess it all depends on luck

This is not HK, man! IIRC, the Motor Vehicle Act only describes emission requirements (must have cat, basically) and set out some vague clause describing the loudness of the exhaust note.

I know this is not HK.
Apparently, you are not very familiar with the motor vehicle act in BC.  I bet you don't modify your car.  If you do, you should seriously find out before you do
=====================================================================================================
Muffler
7.03 (1)  A motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine shall be equipped with an exhaust muffler consisting of a series of pipes or chambers which ensures that the exhaust gases from the engine are cooled and expelled without excessive noise.

Cut-outs prohibited
(2)  No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine when the muffler with which the vehicle is equipped is cut out or disconnected from the engine.

Part removal prohibited
(3)  No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine equipped with a muffler from which has been removed any baffle plate or other part.

Alteration prohibited
(4)  No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine equipped with a muffler the exhaust outlet of which has been opened or widened.

Noise increase or flames prohibited
(5)  No person shall drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine equipped with a muffler or exhaust system to which is attached any device which increases the noise of the expulsion of the gases from the engine or allows a flame to be emitted from the exhaust system.

You can interpret whichever way you want to.  However, you take it to RCMP (esp. Richmond), they will only give you one interpretation on modified exhaust.

Straight through muffler is still a muffler. And it says pipes or chambers, so unless there is no pipe AND chamber at all, the law is being adhered to. The only thing that remains now is the excessiv ...


i dunno... Straight through muffler is for sure illegal.  But the most ridiculous thing is that even non-straight through aftermarket muffler can be claimed as illegal too.  The most often charged offense is (3) unless you can prove that the number of baffles is the same as original. LOL

無計架喇.  要改車就預左俾人抄, 除非跟足 Moter Vehicle Act 啦.
一年預佢捉一鑊, 咪當交改車年費囉.
