Typical emissions testing has looked for catalytic converter bypasses for years. By bypassing it, your mileage goes up considerable, at least in older cars. Computer controlled cars likely adjust for it.
Even if you created such a bypass for a diesel, you would likely get so much waste carbon in your exhaust that your particulate readings would still be high 20 miles later.

Conservatives? The ones around here doing that are white trash that just want to be as obnoxious as the ghetto boom-boom car drivers. Around here they usually have the stars and bars flying from a pole mounted in the bed--between the coal pipes.

We have enough jacks here in Houston that spew crap out their tailpipes to put them to shame.

Being a penny-pincher, all I see is unburned carbon pouring out the stack. When I was in the coal burning business, we went to incredible lengths to make sure there was the absolute amount of unburned carbon in the fly ash. That’s the engineer in me.

We are a carbon-based life form, dependent on the soil for our very existence. That includes lots of carbon.
A little more never hurts.

"This is pretty hard to believe. Sounds like the stuff of urban legend. Would somebody REALLY spend the money to do this?" Think hot rods modified with tanks and plumbing to "shoot flames" out of the exhaust. Very popular with some of the "second childhood" set. I stopped by my local post office, and two guys (old farts about my age) had the hood up on a Chevelle 427 (obviously lovingly restored) with the mod.

If it’s two-cycle, it’s probably doing that already...and it’s probably two-cycle.

"When I was in the coal burning business, we went to incredible lengths to make sure there was the absolute amount of unburned carbon in the fly ash."Understood.
I don't see the point in this.
Smoking a liberal in a Prius will do little more than cement his hatred of bitter clingers with smoky pickups.
There must be a better way.

I searched using that title and it didn’t come up. Maybe because it was truncated.

I usually only use a unique word or maybe two when searching for titles.
I only knew about that thread as I’d posted a few pictures, etc. on it.
That was a couple days ago so different folks will see this one.

How about when gays throw used condoms on church goers at a Catholic Mass, or have sex in public during gay pride events?
Guess it's OK to be obnoxious when you're liberal, illegal to do if you're "conservative".
BTW, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these Coal Rollers were found in West Virginia.
Lots of Democrats in that state.
And I'm sure they're pretty pissed at Obama over what he's done to the industry there.
