[QUOTE="FordMoCo21, post: 16594927, member: 104388"] They've technically had the ability to control this part of the industry for a long time now though. So there's really nothing to fight against as it's already law. Accepting the reality of the situation is entirely different than running from the problem. The biggest issue being highlighted in the RPM Act and therefore the recent outcry, is not CARB EOs. That's not even part of the discussion with SEMA and the RPM Act. So that would need another Act altogether, and even then, it would be fighting an imaginary tale? Most states don't have CARB, and the ones that do it's mostly for the largest counties only. Now if the Feds come out and say every county in the country will start doing mandatory SMOG testing and require EO parts, then you have something to base your worries, and therefore an "Act", on. Hypotheticals don't have ground. Nor do slippery slope fallacies, typically, without solid evidence. The possibility of CARB EOs spreading to every state is a totally separate issue from "offroad only" VIN'd cars running catless. Not to mention I have yet to see any source on CARB EOs being or planning to be enforced in every state. It being a possibility and it happening are two different things. I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense as many OEM manufacturers are going all EV by the 2030s. What's the point in revamping the entire countries emissions testing system for a couple hobbyists, when they can simply go after the aftermarket manufacturers breaking the already in place law, not spend much money in the process, and also MAKE money with fines. The biggest issue is trying to convince the EPA that the cat deletes, etc. for VIN'd vehicles will ONLY be used offroad. That's a practically impossible feat. Short of if you buy an "offroad" product, you can't ever register your vehicle on the street again. [/QUOTE]
