Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The

removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes

of maintenance, repair or replacement of any device or element of design

incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior

to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or

(2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has

been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
