It still amazes me at how many people will ask me "EPA has made it illegal now, and we can no longer delete DPF's correct?" The answer is it has always been illegal to tamper with any emissions equipment, and always will be. That law has never changed.

Most, if not all of this is exempt for off-road and competition use however.
I may be in the minority posting this on a diesel forum but my feeling are that there is nothing wrong with wanting clean air. I'm willing to purchase and maintain a vehicle equipped with these devices without complaint. The problem comes in when half baked emission equipment is pushed on the vehicle purchasing public before it's effectiveness and reliability have been figured out. Also a balance needs to be struck between the emission reduction and the negative performance impact these devices usually deliver. As with many things regulated by OUR government they simply drop a big turd at the end of an incredibly expensive and ineffective development period, and do so with appalling predictability. I see nothing new here.
Sorry..

I happen to agree with all of you on that. I like a nice place to live and take a breath
like most if not all here.
How I hate driving behind some fool belching black smoke. I look for a safe place to leave
the smoker in my dust and if I do any smoke it's tire smoke.
