Smokey using that perspective we shouldn't talk about Chipping either as that allows vehicles to smoke and pollute more. The old argument of hush hush on EGR posts holds NO WATER AT ALL. Plenty of sites out there talk about it and don't get into any trouble. Funny thing is looking at other sites owned by this company this stuff is talked about freely.................

Why would someone that has a significant investment in a site such as this want the liabilities involved from accusations of facilitating in violating well-known laws?
Most of that stuff is environment stuff and really do not have any safety issues tied to it. There is a whole bunch of allowed discussions on these forums that are not unnecessarily legal and do have a safety concerns.

well known laws? ........who are they well known to? or am I just missing the sarcasm.
Anyone who can honestly say with a straight face that they did not know it was illegal to disable emissions control devices has either been living under a rock or is a child. The federal law that covers this has been in place since the mid-70's.
