If you didn’t know before, you know now, within the last year the EPA has started to heavily enforce the Clean Air Act. This means removing emissions systems, something that has always been federally illegal, is now being enforced harder than ever before. Doesn’t matter what your local municipality says, whether they enforce it or not, removing emissions devices is and always has been federally illegal. We have gotten away from this old “smoke is power” or “smoke is cool” mentality, which has been great to see. So many guys are making gobs of power on the track with very little smoke. That’s impressive. We need to continue this trend. Plus in the end, who really wants to have a massive sign pointing at you after you’ve left the stop light with a full head of steam? That’s just asking for trouble. I’d personally rather hot rod around town without calling attention to myself.
