Approval for the sports exhaust: race track feeling on the road

Recently updated on January 23, 2021 at 02:23 am

The Sports exhaust applies to the alloy wheels and an Lowering as an absolute must-have among tuning parts. But this is not only due to its look and sound. Because while on the one hand it is a highlight on the car, it also provides additional energy. Red Bull proved this back in 2011 - with one blown diffuser in formula 1. Whole three seconds per lap brought the perfected diffuser to the defending champion compared to the conventional solution. Because it is precisely such technical tricks that ensure that the race remains unpredictable and exciting, the fan base was enthusiastic. Also the different ones Variants and the Techniken the exhaust system represent such a technical trick.

Only buy exhaust with approval

Sports car enthusiasts and tuning experts do everything in their power to design the vehicle according to their own ideas and wishes. Because the car off the assembly line rarely corresponds to that of a tuning enthusiast. So that the technical advantages can also be used on their own vehicle, many primarily rely on the perfect one Exhaust sound ensure. The final sound depends on the entire exhaust system. It is well known that this must of course meet the applicable TÜV conditions. Because only with approval the modified exhaust can legally be used in road traffic. At the same time it is often written that a Registration in the Vehicle papers necessary is. But it really is necessary, the sports exhaust to be registered?

The registration creates legal security

Yes, the sports exhaust must be entered will. If the modified vehicle is used on the road, it is necessary to complete the relevant formalities are clarified in advance. When tuning, the vehicle is changed. So that the Insurance Cover or the Authorization do not go out, it makes sense to make the changes officially register allow. This affects:

• All enhancements that result in a changed vehicle condition.
• Changes that increase the performance of the vehicle and influence the exhaust gas behavior.
• All interventions that affect the sound and exhaust control.
• Any changes that could pose a risk to other road users.

Since the sport exhaust contributes to a changed sound in the same way as a change to the exhaust system means, it must be entered. Depending on the model, the assembly may even have to be TÜV certified.

FAQ

Can the exhaust be registered without ABE?
- In principle, the sports exhaust can also be registered without an ABE. If there is neither ABE nor E number or test certificate from TÜV, the driving noise must be measured, among other things. An expert opinion will be prepared about this, which costs around 1.500 euros. The exact price, however, depends on the individual case.

How much does the registration cost?
- The costs for the entry depend on the available documents and the entry. If the sports exhaust follows the official requirements and has an ABE and a parts certificate, then a Expert opinion issued and the part in the vehicle registration be entered. In this case the cost is between 35 and 70 Euro for the TÜV and the entry in the vehicle registration. A modification acceptance however, costs between 30 and 50 euros. Additional fees differ from case to case, which is why there is no uniform price list. If necessary, this should be requested in advance.

Can every exhaust be registered?
- no Approval is not available for every model. With ABE for the assembly, however, the entry in the vehicle registration is not absolutely necessary. Instead, the ABE carried if they are for that relevant vehicle is valid. The Teilegutachten is also legitimate and must be carried. However, an entry must be made here as soon as possible. It is the same with Test reportthat were issued retrospectively, provided the changes are not entered in the registration certificate of the respective vehicle.

Which reports and documents are necessary?

Various documents are required for the sports exhaust to be officially approved. As a rule, two or more of the following documents must be presented:

• Registration certificate
• General operating permit for the vehicle part (ABE)
• Parts certificate from the exhaust
• Certificate of the individual acceptance

There is one for all tuning parts as well as each vehicle model General operating permit (ABE). This ABE ensures that the vehicle continues to comply with the regulations. A current ABE must be submitted so that the sports exhaust can be entered in the vehicle documents. If this is not available, both the vehicle registration and the insurance cover can be objected to. Both can even go out. Therefore it makes sense to consult an expert. In the event that the tuning part is delivered with a valid ABE, all installation conditions are noted in it. With a valid ABE no further control by an expert is necessary.

If the tuning part only has one Teilegutachten instead of an ABE, it must after installation be checked by an expert. Here the assessment of a test facility is necessary, which can issue an approval for the tuning part. Such a parts certificate is included with the sports exhaust, or it is supplied with it. At the TÜV, both the parts certificate and the assembly must then be checked. As long as the conversion work is not entered in the registration certificate, the test certificate issued must always be carried with you. For the entry in the registration certificate, however, the acceptance of the change at the local registration office is required not mandatory. As a rule, it is also sufficient to always carry the TÜV approval with you. If neither the parts certificate nor the ABE are available, then the individual acceptance must be relied on. These individual acceptance, which is rarely an option, is carried out by an officially certified specialist. However, it can in principle be applied for for parts that have neither an ABE nor a parts certificate upon delivery.
