No it won't pass emissions without it. But not every state is inspection oil burners so you may be fine.

Tampering with the emissions is a no-no but for off road apps or farming you would not want the fields to catch on fire from the hot exhuast.
LOL! The Spartan tuner sounds like the bomb!

I use his tuner for the 6.0 and it is far better then the SCT. I was lucky enough to get mine in Beta, but it is alot of scratch, but worth it in my opinion.

I know that the 275 tune is just with stock components. I don't know about the 310, but you can make an ungodly amount of power with just tuning alone on the newer trucks.
