Modifications to the exhaust has been federal illegal since 1972 unless the replacement part has an EPA exemption number/tag. Had to take the headers off the pinto. Mods to the emissions computer has been illegal since the 2000's even if your mods result in less tailpipe emissions. Unfortunately, there's no effective penalty except for one time forced compliance inspection. Up side is here in Reno they passed a city ordinance that impounds the vehicle for 30 days.
Also forgot, there's a county ordinance that phrohibits a vehicle getting closer than 3ft to bicyclists or pedestrians. Caused the yahoos to affix a meter stick to their mirrors
