But honestly speaking, without the technical inspection, wouldn't we virtually all go for rather loud exhausts on our 86's ? I would !!!!
There's a difference between sounding loud and obnoxious loud, the first one is sounding nice with alot of decibels, the other one is a diesel tractor with a drainpipe as an exhaust that you hear from miles away while sounding very raspy and droning like hell and every glass window is shaking in fear when it's passing by.

You need indeed those papers, GOCA attest and paper of allignment. Then you have to go to the 'keuring' for a 'Keuring voor verlaagd voertuig' (official name is 'keuring voor voertuig na ongeval') so they can check the numbers, the allignment and the height (the so called 'balkske'). Official height needs to be 11cm but you got a tollerance to go as low as 9.3cm.
