It is my understanding that the Ford delete option is available for foreign markets that do not have the stringent emissions requirements enforced by the USA and Canada. It is not possible for any dealership in Canada or the USA to order that option.
Even though I deal with dozens of sulfur-in-fuel related issues each winter season in Mexico, I'm not an advocate for removal of the emissions equipment. This is mainly because of the trade in/resale issue, but also because I'm OK with the emissions reduction now that it is a fact. No point in trying to turn back the clock on that one. Edge Products recently had to pay a $500,000 fine for selling delete kits, so things are getting serious. See here:
