The EPA wanted this to be a untamperable emissions control device.
I'd like a self-regenerative debit card, a half dozen free virgin hookers and truck that I can't break...but that doesn't mean that any of those things ever have or will exist

I agree and you should note the operative word in my post, the epa WANTED an untamperable device. But we all know if it was build by mans hands and brains another smarter man is gonna figure out how to mess with it.
Well here we go. I can see this Particulate Filter "thing" is a mess for most of us. I can tell you when you burn the wrong fuel or "abuse" the system in a Freightliner the cost for the filter is about $3700.00 for just the filter. That being said I will leave mine alone until someone finds a bullit proof way around it. Ive heard the truck runs fine without it, since it has a pressure switch at each end and the fuel line was ran back to the tank (warranty over). I am just looking for the mileage, which may be a hunt that takes me to places and money spent that exceeds the excitement of winning 15 and 20 mph. Now has anyone heard or have a truck with 5" turbo back or particulate filter back muffler bypass. i need some real feedback. And which is the best chip with real figures, not what the computor says. who has the best prices. Thanks guys and of course gals
The outputs of any sensor can be spoofed, but the costs may go up. It may be worth checking out versions of the engines sold for export to countries with different or no emissions regs.
2007 is the end of diesel performance as we know it. Particulate Filters and such are tied in to the ECM through all sorts of sensors. For example, the new 6.7 liter Cummins will have over 10,000 ECM parameters. On the Cummins the muffler is removable, but turboback exhaust is a thing of the past. You will not be able to "fool" the ECM with chips, tuners, and other devices of the sort because in short, you will fry the emissions system. If you do remove this equipment, the CEL will be illuminated and there will be no way to shut it off. If they do come up with a tuner, there will be no doubt it will cost big $$$. They would have to have a harness going to every single sensor on the truck. Extra fuel will be injected on the exhaust stroke to keep the Particulate Filter "fired up".
In short, after ULSD motors come out, you will be able to make them loud, but not more powerful
Its funny reading this old post now. Even DPF on they are getting pretty high horsepower and torque.

Matt already called it before it came out.
Man that would really suck if they did do something that was 100% BLOCKED! but seriouly your only up against a ford engineer. He's probably only 12year old with vision problems
