Transport authorities in the Philippines have decided to temporarily stop issuing citations to riders using aftermarket motorcycle exhausts. The move comes while officials wait for clearer guidance on what should be enforced and how.

This is not a permanent green light: the goal is to avoid fines and confusion until a more defined regulatory framework is in place. For motorcyclists, the message is straightforward: modified exhausts remain a live issue, but for now enforcement is on hold.
