CAI & RAM intake legal?

[dsp26]

what on earth?

who told you this, from where?

The restrictor plate I speak of is like an aluminium piece traced to the shape of the flange between muffler/pipe (i was hoping to pass it off as a gasket, but seems they check everything thoroughly now).... i had a 2,5inch system which was loud.. i made one with a 1.5inch hole and placed it there... it was discovered but was let off because my full exhaust system still made 88dB on 5700rpm and 89dB on throttle off.... only reason i'm going back was coz i didn't have stock induction system which i now have and re-installed last night... pass dB is AT or below 90dB @ 5700rpm

The DECC approved inspection centre i went to in Granville told me this.... it conflicts with their "Anti_tampering" policy because it is considered a temporary item the exact same way a removable N1 silencer is for cannons. ANY exhaust/sound control devices apparently had to be permanent/welded.. ie cannon silencer is pass-able if proven to be permanent enough... ie enough weld on it that you cannot remove it again. Any attempts to make temporary fixes are finable now apparently where-as before if you just put a cannon silencer on they tell you to take it off and fix the rest.
