While doing research on stolen catalytic converters, I came across some interesting information about exhaust laws. More scary than interesting actually. According to the Clean Air Act, all of my cars are illegal, and yours may be too.
I wonder how long we’ll be able to keep this up?
That said, I don’t want to preach that the ‘sky is falling’ here so much as raise awareness so that we can be sure to stay on top of these issues.
Thanks for watching!
