6.7L Cummins intake tube
I got the modding fever again and deciding the stock intake tube with its silencer is keeping me from some power and from hearing my turbos sing. I thought that I would just take the silencer out(whi...

Your not seeing the picture you painted...
I have never once said removing the silencer has anything to do with emissions, its your statement that removing it for the "cool sound" and "more power"... the "more power" is what I am pointing out to you, as you have said in other posts produces more NOx.
No, it doesn't. As I told you before, learn how these emissions systems operate and what causes an engine to produce more NOx before you talk because it is very clear by this statement that you don't. Removing this tube for less intake air resistance or even adding a DPF back exhaust WILL NOT increase emissions of the truck.
Again, if you knew how these emissions systems operated then you would know that which is why I keep telling you to go learn before you speak just like the last thread where you kept telling me a diesel has a three-way catalyst and we went through 2 pages of a thread before you finally realized you were incorrect.

Its you that has chastised others for "modding" or "wanting to mod", modding according to your preaching even to get better mileage will produce more NOx.
No. I didn't chastise others for modding. I chastised them for removing emissions equipment when they modded. You can add more power to an engine while still keeping your emissions systems and not increasing the amount of emissions the truck produces.

Again, modding to increase horse power, torque or increased mileage according to you will increase NOx.
No, I never said that. Please show me where I did. This is like the last thread where you told me I kept saying things where I never did. I did say that removing your emissions systems for your own selfish reasons makes you an idiot. I will admit that. However, like I have trying to point out to you, but you are not understanding is that you can increase power without increasing emissions or having to remove you emissions devices.

I'm calling you a hypocrite for making statements that a increase in power increases NOx, and anyone who does it, is an idiot.
And I am calling you ignorant on the subject because you can't seem to understand how these emissions systems work or that you don't have to delete emissions equipment to produce more power.
Seriously guy, learn what creates NOx in an engine and how these emissions systems remove PM and NOx. I am sure that when you do then you will see the error in what you are stating here.
