Good luck with that delete kit as they will soon be a figment of your imagination.

People said the same about race down pipes and catalysts for gas engines decades ago and you can still buy them today. Tuning to make more power in a gas engines emits more emissions into he air than stock form just like a diesel tune does. A good tuner can make a high powered "clean' tune meaning that no rolling coal even at wide open throttle.

Although, meeting with some of those people in the now about emissions law and the EPA at SEMA shows and APEX, technically you can also get fined for adding larger or more aggressive tires than stock to a vehicle since you are decreasing the vehicle's fuel economy therefor increasing its emissions. It has been said multiple times that this is eventually where the EPA wants to get to where a vehicle owner cannot change a single thing on their vehicle that will alter its stock emissions, tires included. They have already tried to introduce regulations to try and do this multiple times.

Since this they are getting nowhere going up against the aftermarket industry as a whole, they are currently using a divide and conquer approach to get there basically eliminating each industry one at a time so the largest will not have a leg to stand on with support from others. Once the diesel aftermarket is done then onto the gas aftermarket, and then others. The end goal is to not allow anyone to make any kind of alteration to their own vehicle.
