[QUOTE="VNMOUS1, post: 15583521, member: 36794"] Let me pipe in. This is our Emissions Statement. The Clif's Notes of it is this: [B][I]It is a Federal offense (felony in fact) to eliminate or disable ANY Federally mandated emissions device, sensor, etc. Period, end of story. Been this way since the Clean Air Act of 1967.[/I][/B] It was common practice by some to simply turn them off when an "off road" pipe was used in order to quell codes. Or, they left them on and manipulated the calibration in such a manner that it "fooled" the system. Both are illegal, thus we do neither. A couple of years ago (thank you Volkswagen and Harley-Davidson) this stuff was all brought to the forefront again and the EPA went after it big time. Companies (tuning, shops, etc) have literally been put out of business because of infractions such as this. It is a key topic at SEMA. Regardless of links you can pull up from years past, we highly suggest you contact your favorite calibrator and ask them directly if they will really do this for you. I hope this helps clarify as to why we have this policy and perhaps it sheds some light as to the state of the industry. The tunes we supply leave everything intact and operational. Your rears on or off will have no bearing on performance. You MAY get a check engine light for catalyst inefficiency. Yep, no cats= inefficient. Not a big deal to 95% of our tuning customers. They get it and don't care. Again, here's our stance, from our Terms and Conditions on the website. [URL]https://www.vmpperformance.com/terms.asp[/URL] [/QUOTE]
