aftermarket motorcycle mufflers

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has issued a clarification regarding aftermarket motorcycle mufflers and the role of Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers (PMVICs). According to the agency, passing a decibel test during inspection does not automatically mean that an aftermarket muffler is legally compliant. PMVIC inspections only measure noise levels and basic vehicle roadworthiness. Riders may still face penalties if a modified exhaust violates LTO regulations or lacks proper certification. The clarification aims to address growing confusion among motorists about inspection results, roadside enforcement, and the legality of modified motorcycle parts. The reminder encourages riders to verify that any modifications comply with national standards.
