Legalize an exhaust

[killerdeath]

Hi,

 

I am just wondering if it's possible to buy a leovince pipe from Overseas which has already been legalize by LTA in Singapore.

 

I found that the leovince pipe for my bike is way cheaper and the only thing that I know they dont provide in the package is the LTA inspection form.

Possible to get it from Singapore distributor?

 

Hope can get your valuable feed back from someone experience or have tried to buy from overseas and make it legal.

 

thanks

best is to call LTA/Vicom to check before you purchase anything

Here is the official reply from LTA when I enquired. I only copied over the relevant paragraphs as I asked a few questions.

 

If the after-market exhaust system was not purchased from the authorised

distributor/agent, rather it was by means of self-importation from vehicle

owner or purchased from other vehicle accessories shops, the new owner may

bring the following documents to the Vehicle Engineering Division of LTA at 10

Sin Ming Drive, Singapore 575701 to submit the change of exhaust system via our

Vehicle Inspection & Type Approval System (VITAS) under Change of Vehicle

Particulars.

 

(a)An application letter requesting for the installation of replacement

silencer onto his/her vehicle (with vehicle registration number);

 

(b)Copy of the conformity certificate; and

 

©A letter of understanding from the previous owner stating the sale of the

approved exhaust system and the type of exhaust system fitted back onto his/her

vehicle after sale (e.g. original exhaust system or another approved brand &

type of exhaust system).

 

The application forms (Change of Vehicle Particulars form and Walk-in

application form) can be obtained from our customer service counter at the

Vehicle Engineering Division or can be downloaded from the Vehicle Inspection &

Type Approval System (VITAS) website at https://vitas.lta.gov.sg. Please note

that an application fee of $55 (excluding GST) is payable.

 

Upon approval to the application, an inspection is required for the vehicle

fitted with the approved replacement silencerat any of the LTA-authorised

Vehicle Inspection Centre (i.e. STA, JIC or VICOM) for an inspection. The

inspection centres will also charge an inspection fee for such a service.

Please note that a final approval would be granted upon your vehicle passing

the mechanical inspection.

 

To reply to your query, the application letter as mentioned in item 2a can be produced by the new owner if he does not want to obtain it from the authorised dealer. The EEC approval Certificate you have attached is an acceptable form of Conformity Certificate so long as the vehicle registration number is the same as the one indicated in EEC approval Certificate

 

In short, if you can really get "everything" except the letter (which you can write yourself according to LTA's reply above), it is possible to make it legal. But make sure it is the exact same model that the local distributor has previously made legal.

 

To be safe, you should still call up LTA before making the purchase.

thanks for the Superb reply bro, I believe there are a few riders who would like to purchase their exhaust from other source than the distributor.

Nevertheless, I will still follow your advice and ask LTA before purchasing.
