Default Might go either to Italy or Germany and have a few ??'s ship it over there

Alright I have orders to Korea and hopefully be going to Germany or Italy. Well my questions is how are they about driving ours cars over there?? As of now I'll be installing a vengeance pkg. w/ ory y-pipe. I heard they are stict about emissions. I would love to keep my car and don't think I would even sell it while I'm over there. I probably will let the military ship it for me. Anyone have tips for me or what's going to happen if I take my car over there??? Thanks

In Germany , If your car does not comply with the regulation when it arrives you have 30 days to get to comply. After that you have to register the car inop, until the car is ready to pass the inspection.

But they will not send your car back correct? If it don't pass I can still use the car as a track car??

No they won't send your car back. Just remember to remove the tint off the front windows (not allowed anymore) DB's under 95 @ half throttle. Get some steel wool or an bullet and put the cats back on just for the inspection.

What no tint!!! Oh well. What is DB's?? Yeah I can definately fix the exhaust. I also still have the stock exhaust. I probably could mess withe a/f because I'm going to have a setting for a nitrous tune and another for just n/a.

Decibel level=loudness of the exhaust. They could care less about emissions or nitrous. They don't pop your hood.

So it would be pretty loud then if they check for loudness. I was talking to friend at his shop and what would also help if I swap my cam for a stock if they're strict on the emissions part. Would I need to go that far??
