There's been no new EPA laws that have changed that were announced at least. And the current administration isn't exactly emissions friendly. Has APR offered an explanation?
Evans Tuning got hit with nearly a million dollar fine in 2017 and they were a small operation compared to APR. It's probably a good idea to not explicitly advertise tunes that by definition defeat emission requirements.
lmao, car exhausts do absolutely nothing to the environment compared to tires and cows. That shit has already been proven. This is a pointless move.
Also probably related to a diesel truck tuning company that was fined last year. https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/performance-diesel-inc-clean-air-act-settlement-information-sheet
First you start the whole dieselgate thing and now aftermarket tunes. You Americans are ruining it for everyone lol
I have to say I agree with you. I have a 2017 RAM3500 Cummins diesel and it’s completely deleted and tuned from 9k miles. I’m tuned using EZlynk and Hardway performance tunes. In the diesel trucks it’s all about the proper tune. I have 4 tunes. Not one rolls coal. All spotless clean tunes with zero black smoke. Even the 190horsepower tune. These kids buy a smarty tuner off eBay because it’s cheap and they over fuel the trucks causing that black smoke. They run around abusing it and think it’s fun. Ruining it for guys like me who deleted the truck to save motor issues and reliability later down the road. It only takes a small percentage of people to ruin it for everyone else unfortunately. Now I believe it’s a snatch n grab so the epa can cash in on these companies because they have lost a lot of funding in the past few years. Hopefully they leave us car guys alone.No one cared about this till the diesel guys were rolling coal. That upset your everyday person who started complaining. EPA came down on diesel and other tuners know their days are probably numbered now.
Americans had nothing to do with Dieselgate. That was a German idea.
It was American researchers who discovered the cheating
