UIM answers this part for 16 of its classes, and publishes no rule for it in 8 more. 0 of those answers permit the part outright and 7 permit it with stated conditions, leaving 9 that do not. 5 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part. 8 are inherited from a parent class the rulebook points at.
This is one body's answer, not the sport's. You are bound
by whichever body sanctions the event you enter. If you race more than one
series, build to the stricter answer. The differences are set out in
the rulebook comparison.
24 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same
answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class
that borrows its rules.
8 of them borrow another class’s rules and are marked below; for those, the link to the parent class is read from the categories table rather than stated in the rulebook. 8 publish no rule for this part and name no parent to borrow one from, and are grouped together at the end.
This comes off. Only the part the manufacturer fitted is allowed here.
Not permitted, not listed in the rules
Treat it as coming off. The class requires the craft to stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, and this part is not on the list, so this is our reading rather than a rule we can quote at you.
Legal, with conditions
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
No rule published for this class
Unanswerable here. This class publishes no rule for the part and names no parent class to borrow one from, which is an absence in the rulebook and not a permission.
OEM part required 3 classes
Ski GP3 is a two-stroke class, and 501.02.03.03 keeps its whole exhaust system as the manufacturer delivered it, so the original manifold and head pipe are required. · 501.02.01, 501.02.03.03
Two-stroke: the exhaust system must remain entirely of origin as delivered by the manufacturer. Four-stroke: Runabout GP3 has no exhaust article, so the manifold and head pipe stay stock under the class's own stock clause. · 502.02.03-03
Free, EXCEPT that on forced-induction craft the exhaust manifold must be of the full circulating water type at all times when the engine is running. · 501.04.07
No component rules are published for this class and no single parent class is named, so this part cannot be answered for it. That is an absence in the rulebook, not a permission.
Aftermarket exhaust manifold / head pipe: if the rule your class applies reads
differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask.
We answer with the section we read it from, or that we have not read it.
