Diesel "loudness"?
Do diesel trucks get louder as they age, or were ones built years ago that much louder than today's diesel? I test drove one recently, a 2016 ram 2500, and it was rather quiet... only a bit louder ...

Simply removing the emissions equipment isn't always against the law.

As I said, it isn't "always" against the law. The law is a funny, and often misinterpreted creature. You have to pay attention to the wording regarding gasoline powered vehicles vs. diesel powered. There's a difference in legality and liability regarding a private person in lieu of a dealer/mechanic. There's also a difference between simply driving and selling. I don't profess to be a legal expert, but I've read enough to understand that you're likely to not get in trouble for deleting your truck.
I am all for modifying your vehicle to suit your personal preferences. But this is bad advice. Removing, eliminating, or rendering ineffective emissions equipment is a violation. Just because you do not get caught does not equal "lawful". That is the whole idea of CARB compliant aftermarket parts and equipment. They have been certified that they do not alter the emissions for the intended vehicle.
Deleting a post DPF diesel is a violation. Nothing ambiguous in the law regarding that. Again, "you're likely to not get in trouble for deleting your truck" is not the proxy for legal. Just that they are more likely to go after those selling the equipment not the user. Just ask Edge or H&S
