I was told this does not apply if you are just passing by. It would be impossible to adhere to all local state rules tbh. Same goes for drivers license, I dont have German one by the same definition I cant drive in Germany. Frankly does not make any sense. I have some friends that have tuned sportscars which I'm absolutely sure would never pass inspecton in Germany due to noise level, wheels, suspension and engine mods and they still visit Germany often without any problems. On the other hand with my car its a bit more obvious for people that know this stuff. We shall see eventually.
