I'm looking at buying a 99 C280 from California to be shipped to NJ. Are there any performance-killing emissions control systems on the California version that I should be aware of? If so, is there anything that can be done to remove them and bring it to the more lenient NJ emission requirements?
Thanks in advance!
It'll be very laid back, EASIng into the day, when you start up in the morning.

Huh? What do you mean?
I believe these are 50 state cars, nothing special for CA. Check the MBUSA site under "Prior Models" and see if the HP differs at all.
In 1985 the 300SD did have a FEDERAL version and a California version. The air cleaner for the CA version was a large pot shaped affair the Federal version had more of a doughnut configuration. Don't know about other years. wolf
I was exercising my prejudices (fuelled by a statistically invalid single example) about Californians, who have a laid-back lifestyle and ease into the day...

...and think the people on the East Coast rush around like 'blue-arsed flies'...

Ah, well, you know. Some might say that's what we do best.
