The mods are increasing pollution and noise and yes there are laws regarding the modification of the fuel and exhaust system. They do not get followed very often. That is why a lot of newer vehicles get sent to the wreckers- they have a VIN on them and it is too costly to fix, basically the system needs to be returned to stock.
In a perfect world you could modify the yingyang out of a vehicle as long as it does not compromize safety, noise, and emissions. Unfortunately that is not the case today.

hot rods are a grey area, a lot of them are not safe and should be off the road, cops are not on top of it. Hydraulics, air bag suspension with no scrub line built in, no wipers, straight pipes, great big 671 blocking the view. crappy welding, no outside door handles are all reasons to pull a vehicle off the road and that is just the start of stupid mods.
