Geeze you guys have it rough w/ your window tint laws, exhaust laws, wheel/tire laws...and now wood burning stove laws in Montreal lol, it's getting a liiiitle extreme.

Believe me, in Italy the situation is similar or even worse!
The only things allowed are: brakes upgrade, body kits (only if they respect some size limits), springs (only if they lower the car not too much) and aftermarket wheels (but in most of cases you should stay with the OEM size).
The other things such as wheel spacers, coilovers, different size wheels, full exhaust systems, engine upgrades, cold air intakes are not allowed. If the police catches you with some of these upgrades you'll get a fine of 400 euros and you won't be able to use your car until you remove the illegal parts and carry your car to the the Department of Motor Vehicles to be inspected.
As you were saying before this is the best way to kill car culture, so stupid!

What I don't understand is why they even allow you to purchase them in the first place if they're illegal to use. It's ultimatly you, the end user, who suffers because of this.

It's a real shame too, because sometimes aftermarket parts actually exceed OEM specs.
