“You can delete the DEF system. Its done all the time.”
Don’t get caught doing that it’s a federal level felony and also a state jail felony in most states. Lose the right to vote and bear arms all in one shot.
Texas sets out special camera’s at the roadsides that use infrared and lasers to measure the exhaust of each passing vehicle if yours is over limit it not only snaps a image of the front and rear plates they also take an image of the drivers face.
The state then mails a summons to the registered owners address and you have 30 days to report to a emission testing facility. They automatically put a hold on the registration so your plates are invalid and flagged in the system after 30 days.
Most police departments run licence plate autoscanners here if a plate is flagged the officer gets a notice on the computer automatically when behind a flagged vehicle.
How do I know all this my SAAB had straight pipes as a rally car set up it was not street legal ,I took it out for a spin down IH35 and must have passed one of the emissions monitoring camera’s I got a notice to appear and when I showed them it was for off road use only they said ok , but here is your $350 ticket for driving a none road legal vehicle on the roads trailer it to events or keep paying fines. They also locked the registration to off road use only with no regular licence plates ever to be issued for that VIN again only off road plates. They said multiple violations would result in impoundment of the vehicle until a court date and the judge could confiscate the vehicle for repeated on road use of a off road only vehicle.
So sure you can remove the EPA mandated cats and when you are caught be ready to pay $$$$$ it’s a 20,000 dollar fine and up to 10 years in club fed for defeating emissions controls. The.feds fined diesel boys in the millions for selling just the kits to remove the cats they lost the appeal the judgement stands last I looked into it.
