Tampering with EGR/Exhaust = breaking Federal laws
So what are the fines if you get caught tampering with your EGR, exhaust/emissions system? I know it's breaking Federal law to mess with these things.

Have you ever seen a ricer or a hotrod ever get a fine for emisions?? Only through local smog and maybe a P.O.ed cop but never a fed. It has always been illegal.
Now, runnin red fuel is a different story, but that is messin with the IRS and we know those guys are a bunch of jerks!

If you are worried about the fine for removing the EGR, exhaust/emissions system,
Then don’t forget about fines for disposing your engine oil, and filter!
You can not just give it to a shop, or store to dispose of, you will be required to have a signed statement showing who received it, and how they disposed of it.
This applies to antifreeze, gear oil, Freon, OH, and will also apply to the particles blown out of the DPF by the dealer.
I was at the dealer, and saw them take a load of oil filters out and put them in the dumpster.
I think that tampering with the EGR system is the least of our problems. Think what is going to happen if Obama is elected!

Dodgezilla,
Has it right I think that some sort of diode in the EGR electrics that tricks the system into thinking "hey I am running wide open up this hill and don't need no frikin exhaust in the intake till I get to the top" sort of thing. The old VW Jetta used to not suck exhaust at idle or full throttle only settings in between and they used to sell a kit that tricked the system into thinking hey I'm wide open and with the kit on egr went by by but was all still inplace for the every two year check up. Surely with all the smarts on this forum we can fix this. Im in Montana and our air aint all that dirty anyway, and besides we are all redneck and I don't like inhaling my exhaust but I love my 08 truck and it's tranny and exhaust ...brake, and DVD player and yada yada yada.

Actually it is getting there, it just takes a lot more time to work out the bugs.
