Yes, except for the sound of the exhaust.. Unless you can make 300+ whp with a 1.5 inch tubing..[/quote]

^^^^100% correct but you always can add a silencer to your exhaust system......hell my frind have a 96 supra tt with T88 single turbo and 4 inch ALL THE WAY TO THE TIP exhaust and a HKS TI cat back....with out the sillencer it will go LOUD and with the silencer it huss like a camrey.....

True, but he will loose a lot of power with the silencer in.

Keep the height of your car high enough and you won't face problems with huge body kits. They only ask you to remove/change bumpers when the car seems low, plus, you end up changing your springs too. Prevention better than cure.

Update, update.

A person i know very well went for car registration and her car failed. She has a bigger exhaust, about 2.5 inches at the tip, 2 inches all through out, and it did not pass.

With the reeason that "RTA does not allow it". She claimed she bought the car like that, but still, she needs to change back to the original.

So, whatever printouts you guys think the police give, bs, it is illegal now.
