	204	+	maintain in good working order or remove, dismantle or otherwise 151
	205	+	cause to be inoperative any equipment or feature of a motor vehicle that 152
	206	+	limits the maximum decibel level produced by such motor vehicle to a 153
	207	+	level that is equal to or below the maximum decibel level permitted 154
	208	+	pursuant to section 14-80a of the general statutes and any regulations 155

	210	+	order or removal, dismantling or causing of inoperability shall subject 157
	211	+	the owner thereof to revocation of registration for such vehicle by the 158

	214	+	in good working order within sixty days of notice by said commissioner 161

	216	+	comply with the periodic inspection requirements established under 163

	220	+	(b) No motor vehicle subject to the inspection requirements of section 167

	222	+	vehicle has been presented for inspection in accordance with a schedule 169

	225	+	vehicles that fail any required inspection and require an unreasonable 172
	226	+	cost of repair, as determined by the commissioner, to bring the vehicle 173
	227	+	into compliance. The commissioner may determine compliance of a 174
	228	+	vehicle that has failed a decibel level retest by means of a complete 175
	229	+	physical and functional diagnosis and inspection of the vehicle, 176
	230	+	showing that no additional noise-related repairs are needed. An 177
	231	+	extension of time, not to exceed the period of inspection frequency, may 178
	232	+	be granted to obtain needed repairs on a vehicle in the case of economic 179
