Deletes are a federal crime , Just ask the Diesel Brothers.I'm in this for the LONG haul. If none of the rules change, would it be legal to do a "delete" once the rig hits 25years old?
BTW, also not legal in TX. Checking through the linked articles in their site, there is no mention of a 25 year cutoff.

I know you can import 25 yo cars, but you cannot modify them either.
Not saying I am an expert in this, but since they passed that EPA stuff a while back, the 25 year thing is gone since Federal law trumps any local stuff.
Depends on where you live if you get caught though, or if it will be enforced anyhow.
That being said, you've got to smoke a crap ton of crack to think that 25 years from now the EPA will not frag you from a gun ship "call of duty style" the second they detect you've done it
Just out of curiosity, does it really make much of a difference? I recall years ago I removed all the emission stuff on an old Montero. The only thing that happened was that it made everything worse
I am not a fan of the DPF either, but they check for that over here. Even in Australia it's an automatic 10k fine and they tend to care even less about environmental issues.
