Leaded mufflers or lead lining between the muffler and the floor? Ones a grey area, the others illegal. 888 had flexing splitters/wings in 09.

Holden teams with rubber mounts for front splitters
Nissan GTR's with turbo valves which were set by the team that they were designed to restrict (and many years down the track it was admitted they fudged them)
Lightweight bodyshells
Cars built to incorrect weights due to misprints in the rule books
Freon valves in the fire system that just happen to "accidentally" activate in front of the intercooler during a qualifying lap
The point is, everyone exploits the rules. Until it is declared illegal, engineers will always try to find an advantage.
