the american site states that they are not for road use. In the uk they are fine. In some countries in Europe you are not able to modify the engines either.

When you buy a k&n they say "not for road use" on the box, Sweden is one for no mods i beleive.

You in other countries but its much harder. Such as lowering springs you have to get them approved which costs a lot. Kinda like a British standard. Or else it fails its MOT equivalent unless you get a dodgy one abroad.

its not illegal not to declaire to your insurance, it just means ur insurance is invalid if you have an accident and even then, you wont get done for no insurance.
