As other people have said, once you deviate from that kit then it is no longer epa compliant. If Nizpro can get their kit through then anyone else can as well with the right tune mainly. Just costs the dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is how it works then it's some sort of loophole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
