“As of November 15, 1990, federal law prohibits anyone from removing or rendering inoperative any emission control device or element of design that is installed on a motor vehicle or a motor vehicle engine. Anyone who breaks this law can be penalized as much as $2,500 for each motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine they tamper with. Dealerships and manufacturers can be penalized up to $25,000 for each violation. This prohibition is one of the 1990 Amendments to the U.S. Clean Air Act.”
“Tampering includes:
- Removing such devices as the catalytic converter, air pump and EGR valve, or doing anything to keep them from working properly.
-Disconnecting vacuum lines and electrical or mechanical parts of the pollution control system, such as electrical solenoids, sensors or vacuum-activated valves.
-Adjusting any element of a car or truck’s emission control design so that it no longer meets the manufacturer’s specifications.
-Installing a replacement part that is not the same in design and function as the part that was originally on the vehicle, such as an incorrect exhaust part.
-Adding a part that was not originally certified on the car, such as installing a turbocharger.”
Its for your health, guys n’ gals. It happened to VW, it could happen to you. Kek.

So those glasspacks I put on my Echo are illegal?
(Yes, a kid did this at my high school. It was ridiculous)

Yes. Especially anyone who would do that to an Echo.

“Emissions” is probably my most hated word of the year and probably for the rest of my life.

For the record I have no issue with an individual breaking emissions laws, just don’t bitch if you get caught.

It should also be noted that “people outside of Wolfsburg/VWoA” are totally whipping the shit out of “people in Wolfsburg/VWoA” on the “whining like a spoiled child” scale, with respect to this particular issue.

Eh... it is probably due to be replaced soon I’d guess. Just overhaul the entire system and put a performance set up on there.

Thank you! This is the big point I’ve tried explaining to my friends. VW violated FEDERAL LAW! So if you did something that violated FEDERAL law you would be in big trouble as well...

Welcome. Just keep in mind... it may be law but that doesnt make it a “good” law. Look at all the stuff it prohibits anyone from doing.

Sadly that’s the society we live in. There are tons of laws I disagree with. But you still have to abide by them or pay the price
