I agree; you'd be a mug to leave the pipe in if you were getting it
inspected, tested, sold or whatever. (bastards might steal it)
I was only talking about whether it's illegal to be in the car or not.

Decoration. I didn't think the car looked pipey enough!

That'd take all of 7 seconds. If it wasn't part of the car when it was made
it's a "modification", and what purpose it serves would be decided by the
engineer doing the testing regardless of what you claim it is.

Next time you get pulled over for anything ask the copper. He's bound to
tell you something you don't want to hear.

Yeah, right. Cars just need to look "pipey" :)

It's still not illegal unless there's a law against it.
The engineer/ tester can name the piece of pipe behind the seat or the pack
of tissues in the glovebox or the side-of-lamb on the passenger-floor an
illegal modification but that don't make it so.
