AN ENGINE EMISSION RESTRICTOR

摘要

This invention relates to an engine emission restrictor. The engine emission restrictor comprises a sleeve and a stopper portion, the sleeve being attached or attachable at or towards the end of an exhaust pipe of or for the engine, the stopper portion being releasably attachable to or within the sleeve. The arrangement and construction of the engine emission restrictor is such that the stopper portion, when fitted to or within the sleeve, impedes or prevents the flow of exhaust fumes out of the exhaust pipe. The engine emission restrictor may be particularly useful for securing a vehicle against theft, since when fitted to the exhaust pipe of a vehicle the vehicle may not be easily driven away, if at all. A method of securing a vehicle utilising the engine emission restrictor is also described.
