Hello forum...I was just wondering......if you buy an e30 with CC...do you have to have it installed...or can you just change to a normal exhaust system without CC? Lambda probe and all????
WhatԚ´s "legal"?

Should be fine I think, they were only compulsory after 1991 I think. Might well be wrong though :lol:
