Modifying my exhaust tips! Is it approved by LTA????


Recommended Posts

Dear Guys,

This question has been put up several times!

I wanted to cut off my L/R oval shape exhuast tips on my previous E250 to the "AMG Sport Trapezoidal Shape Exhaust Tips)

This has prompted me to write to LTA to clarify the mods pertaining to modifying your exhaust tips.

According to LTA as long as you do not "touch, weld, drill, etc" on the rear silencer/muffler box is OK with

what you want to do with your exhaust tips.

You may have twin exhaust tips coming out of your muffler, you can cut one or two of your exhaust tips and reroute to Left & Right with dual single L/R or quads L/R.

Anything on the muffler box and before on the exhaust system you will need prior approval from LTA.

This is my email to them & their reply!

Subject: Modification of muffler exhaust tip

Dear Sir,

I understand that changing of the car exhaust muffler needs LTA inspection

and approval.

This I am clear and aware of LTA's policy on car modificadtion.

I have a question to ask pertaining changing only the exhaust tips of the

exhaust mufflers.

If I will to cut off the existing oval shape exhaust tip from my exhaust

muffler at the pipe after the exhaust muffler, replace and weld a

trapezoidal shape exhaust tip at the pipe, is this legal or illegal?

If it's not illegal, do I need to seek LTA's inspection and approval as I

do not do any modification to the muffler box but replacing only the

exhaust tip on the pipe after the exhaust muffler by welding another

exhaust tip on the pipe?

There will be no welding onto the exhaust muffler box but only welding on

the pipe after the exhaust muffler.

Looking forward to your kind enlightenment, I remain

Yours Faithfully

Dear Mr XXX

Please refer to your email dated 12 July 2011.

We would like to inform you that we have no objection to the fitting of

exhaust pipe outlet attachment (by way of welding or screwed on) onto the

original exhaust pipe after the rear muffler so long as this does not

adversely affect the safe operation of the vehicle and the exhaust pipe

outlet attachment is not welded directly to the silencer/muffler. Please

also ensure that the followings are complied with when fitting the exhaust

pipe outlet attachment:

a) the exhaust pipe outlet is installed with sound engineering practice and

must be adequately supported;

B) there is no modification to the other parts of the exhaust system,

unless approved by us;

c) the exhaust pipe does not protrude longitudinally or laterally from the

vehicle;

d) the exhaust pipe outlet is on the off-side or rear of the vehicle; and

e) the vehicle exhaust continues to comply with the applicable exhaust gas

and noise emission standards

Should you require more information on vehicle modifications, you can visit

our 1M portal for a set of vehicle modification guidelines at

http://www.onemotoring.com.sg.

We hope the above clarifies. Should you require further clarifications,

please do not hesitate to contact us at 1800-CALL-LTA (1800 2255 582).

Yours sincerely

Yesterday I passed by a "beng" looking (silver grey with some parts of body and brakes accentuated in luminous green) Japanese marque stopped by TP on the AYE. The TP officer was getting down on his knees at the rear of the car to look at the exhaust.

This prompted me to think that if I ever wanted to mod I should keep cosmetics discrete.
