Maintenance
Make sure the exhaust system is intact. Inspect for damage,
misalignment and/or leakage. Primary system components requiring
noise-related inspection include exhaust manifold, turbocharger, and
all exhaust system (rigid and flexible) piping. Closely check the system
for exhaust leaks. Special attention should be given to all welds,
seams, gaskets, support points, clamps, couplings and connections.
Inspect all exhaust system fasteners, brackets, and clamps for damage
and tightness.
Regulatory Compliance
Acts that constitute tampering with the Exhaust System:
Removing or rendering inoperative exhaust system components (such
as the pipes, clamps, etc.).
Air Intake/Air Induction System
Maintenance
Make sure the air intake system is intact. Inspect components for
damage, misalignment and/or leakage. Primary system components
requiring noise-related inspection include the air cleaner housing, air
cleaner element, turbocharger, charge air cooler and intake manifold.
Also inspect all ducts, pipes, hoses, tubing and elbows used to
interconnect the system. Special attention should be given to all welds,
seams, gaskets, support points, clamps, couplings and connections.
Inspect all intake system fasteners, brackets, and clamps for damage
and tightness.
Regulatory Compliance
Acts that constitute tampering with the Air Intake/Air Induction System:
Removing or rendering inoperative air intake/induction system
components (filter, filter housings, ducts, etc.).
Engine Control, EGR and Fuel Systems
Acts that constitute tampering with Engine Control, EGR and Fuel
Systems:
Removing rendering inoperative, or modifying the engine control
system such as the ECU, EGR system components, or fuel system
components, in order to allow the engine to operate outside of the
manufacturer's specifications is not allowed and violates both warranty
and legislation.
