Exhaust Smoke
How much smoke will be generated with emissions deleted, new intake and programmer if the programmer is on the lowest setting? I have always had agressive sounding trucks but this does not seem possible on the 6.7 without deleting the emission componets. Do I have more legal choices? This is my first diesel so its been a steep learning curve.

Probably very little. Even a straight piped 6.0 diesel makes very little unless you really get after it on a hot tune. Watch out for 6.0 and 7.3 trucks on the road and pay attention, lots of them are tuned.

I really want to do it but I looked at the fines if you are ticketed and now I am second guessing my self. Trying to get the truck done before the baby comes this summer. I have been watching other diesels and the ones with the banks, bully dog, etc. stickers appear to be bone stock. I heard the sticker adds 50 hp!!

The days of the old smokey, slow moving diesel's are long gone. There's no need or reason to have more than just a puff of smoke on older diesels (80's +) and even less than a puff on new stuff.
If you are blowing smoke you are throwing $'s out the window and pissing off the people that already think diesel's and their drivers are A-holes.
Sorry but the smoking thing is a sore spot. I've owned and driven semi's since the early 70's and diesel pickups since the 80's.

I never have tried blowing smoke at a cop, and dont want to try it. I dont think he would be too understanding! 
I usually only smoke little ricers with fart pipes acting like azzes!
