If they don't get you for the emissions side of it they will get you for the noise.

Blocking or removing the bov on a car running a MAF sensor is the big emissions no no. Luckily our cars run a MAP sensor but again, good luck explaining it to a cop.

Everything's illegal if it's been a slow day. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49942-illegal/page/5/#findComment-1229442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
