On a different note, I'm not sure what exactly they test during a car's registration process, but let's say that apart from a cold air intake, you also modify the suspension and exhaust (granted it doesn't fart) will the car still be passed?

And why is modification not allowed ? Its not as if aftermarket parts are made in afghanistan. Most automobile companies have a racing division. Like Mercedes races in F1, DTM, GTR. Like Bmw races in F1, GT etc...Toyota races in rally, f1 and so forth..and they bring development into production cars. So if you're using these parts whats the hassle ? Im not convinced that curbing speed is the real motive. Carlifting is usually aimed at suspicious corollas and sunnys I guess..

You need CID permission to put stickers on your car. Highly tuned factory cars are not considered "modified" of course. Otherwise my BMW would've been illegal.
