    All the Passat drivers in the county go to the same guy at NCT time to borrow his legal exhaust for a few days for the test:D I kid you not, this type of thing happens regularly!

    Surely the guards can clamp down on it, after a quick google it says the modified exhausts arent legal or did they not follow through with it :confused:
