EPA isn't out take away your car mods. They have been clued into a big industry where tuners, aftermarket companies, and shops are modifying road cars to run without emissions controls and pass emissions by turning off sensors and such. They are trying to send a message to the industry as a whole. I would be very nervous if I was a tuner though, especially the guys at BM3 and MHD. They think they're protected by being overseas, but I'm certain EPA will be going after them and any others that offer defeat software.

This has become a problem because of the number of people running straight pipes or catless. No clue why people need to run catless, you can make insane power with cats still. All these morons with straight pipes and burble tunes draw so much attention. This wouldn't have been an issue had it not been abused.
Also ITT: people who think getting rid of the EPA and letting DuPont and their ilk dump whatever chemicals they want in your local river is a good idea.
