I change my tip to a dual-tip type (tips only, no change in muffler box also). When i send to STA for inspection, the guy told me that only those screwed-on type are allowed. As long as there are welding works done, it is not allowed. However, he told me that he will still give me a 'pass' but indicated 'recommeded to change back to original' in the remarks column. :thinking: Guess he was in a good mood that day.

I changed my twin pipe to AC exhaust twin tips. No problem with the law so far.
Just some questions on the welded type of exhaust tips.
Why doesn't LTA permit such operations. Is there a particular reason, i.e safety, etc.?
Changed my tip to twins recently which was operated (welded), not the bolt-ons, kind worried that it might be a hazard.
Don't know why? But somehow, got this paranoia that if it was not done propoerly, it might cause exhaust fumes to go right into the aircondition thus causing carbon monoxide poisoning.
Forgive me for my ignorance, but this is my concern.
Can anybody advice or at least put my mind at rest. Esp from the mechanically sound dude. Thanks gents!

your aircon intake is right in front of your front windscreen. your exhaust tip is right at the bottom of your rear bumper. you'd have a higher chance getting yourself killed from the guy's exhaust gases in front of you than from your own.
so if you see a car swerving wildly in your rear view mirror and then crashing out, go and surrender yourself.
