Not exactly an insurmountable engineering challenge.

Actually got to drive a tesla model 3 today, first EV I've ever driven. I have to say, it's very cool, makes me want to keep my eye on the mach e when they release the GT version.

That's the hope. Battery technology is really the weak link for EV's. From an efficiency standpoint ICE engines can't compare, I want to love EV's especially with their simplicity....

Pay attention to solid state battery technology. When these arrive it will make EV's quite a bit more attractive.

🙄 I don't need to poke holes in your flawed reasoning. I can't fix stupid.

It's not your "right" to run catless. Or is this covered under "freedom of speech?"

Because we all have to breathe the crap you spew out of your catless car. The sphere we lived on is a closed system. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Congrats on being part of the problem. 👏

Is there a relationship between CR and EGT's running boost? Curious since the predator is 9.5:1 and the coyote 2 & 3 being 11:1 and 12:1 respectively.

Exactly, it's gotten to the point where the EPA couldn't look the other way. Good job idiots. I'd love to see a compromise where a car could still be tuned but certain emissions related parameters were off limits. Catless products should require the end user to submit documentation that the...

My wife hates them but I love them. Personally I wouldn't have bought my car if they weren't installed.

The other positive in this (other than no longer being able to bypass emissions equipment) is hopefully this will also eliminate crackle tunes.

"Car culture" as you put it and the tuning vendors did it to themselves. The EPA could no longer look the other way once cats, DPF & SCR systems started getting intentionally bypassed.

No. With OBD-II being introduced on all vehicles starting in 1996 emissions testing itself wasn't required. They vehicle has the ability to monitor itself and its own emissions. On a legal OEM calibration your car would immediately throw a code (CEL). Problem is these tuners made it so the...

Our gas guzzler tax started as part of the energy act of 1978. It was used as an incentive to get manufactures to produce more fuel efficient cars and was partially a result of the oil crisis of the 70's. The tax itself is collected by the IRS and goes to the general fund.

Gas guzzler tax has nothing to do with the govt making money, rather used as a deterrent to buying what is deemed as a fuel inefficient vehicle.

Not when you purchase a whipple or roush blower.

I don't think these "tuners" are going to be able to hide behind their "off-road use only" language for much longer. Its unlikely the EPA would've cared had all these diesel dorks not been rolling coal, and others in gas vehicles doing cat deletes. Play by the rules, EPA air quality laws...

Well, it's not your right to be a jackass and remove your cats on your car.
