If I were you, I would print this document: http://az79640.vo.msecnd.net/akrapov...0e3943a60a.pdf and keep it inside the car.
In principle it's of no use for the "Evolution Line", but maybe it could save the day for you, someday. Actually, you're better off being capable to show something to a cop when pulled over and questioned about the Akra, than left to your own devices with nothing at all. Doesn't cost you anything to keep the printout inside the car. Don't underestimate the technical knowledge of the highway police. It's their job. Quite some of them have a soft spot for ///M cars, which might be a benefit or a hazard. So a cop who's in the know might think "Si non è vero, è ben trovato" but still let you off the hook with an "Okay son, I may not say it, but I like your car. Your car files are OK. Gonna let you go ...this time." Not guaranteed though, because, as I said, it's their job. But, as always with so many things in life, being very polite, fair and cooperative during such encounters might contribute to some leniency/indulgence.  |
Many thanks with this, but definitely useful in light of the law change here in Australia. We can do exhaust mods provided they comply with the Australian Standard with noise and we didn't have to have it certified up to April 30 this year. So, haven't that certificate of approval of a EU country definitely helps as they are stricter than here.
