Tampering with an emissions device can get you a $10,000 fine

Maybe she means a DPF (diesel particulate filter).

Illegal to remove.

i removed my CAT muffler with the catalytic converter inside and put on a performance muffler. did emissions this year and they actually went down! fuel mileage improved by a tad, but i love the sound of my exhaust now. if it's summer i always drive with the right window down in a city

You'll always drive with the right window down;" in the city", In other words you like aggravating the heck out of everyone. Just my pic on the statement.

Pass. window down

It's funny how people look at things.... I took it to mean he liked the way it sounded as he was going thru the gears and since most single exhausts are on the right side that would explain the passenger side window. Now I'm curious.
