Regulations for after market parts to be fitted onto road cars.

Specifically, the engine air intake and ECU. What laws and regulations would a device need to abide by?

 

At a basic level theres the MOT - emissions etc. are affected by after market parts.

 

Other than that maybe laws on noise???

Like to see them try and regulate that. It very easy to make an intake look standard and unless all ECU have the same connector the police would all need transits to carry all the necessary to read each ECU. Wouldn't they be better off spending the money on actually fixing the roads or fixing the NHS?

AFAIK, neither of those parts would be subject to roadside tests for conformity. An exhaust, yes, but not an air filter system or ECU.
