Yes, cars in Colorado can get pulled over for having rusted holes in the exhaust, but thats an emisions ticket, not inllegally modified.
hey, the 83 Rabbit GTI that i had a few years back sounded kickin with the rusty muffler!
hehe. Cheaper than a "performance muffler"
Sounded even better when the hood flew off one morning on the way home from work. that morning the ride home had a severe "spincter factor" rating.
There is a lesson here...just becuase you need a car really bad is no excuse to buy a beat up Rabbit for $300.
Engine was good though....
