Being I do what I do I have to by law advise against removing emission items, but being I only do work on custom and muscle cars I see lots of emission sytems gone. I could care less that these items are gone, as far as I am concerned I never saw a thing.
Everyone has the freedom of choice to do what ever they want and to decide if they want to deviate from the law. I am by no means any different than the next guy and have fractured a few motor vehicle laws myself in the past. It is all about choices.
