They aren't controlling power, they are "trying" to control the "cleanliness" of that power. If you can make 1000 hp through the already gov't mandated emissions system and still pass smog tests, then there's nothing really preventing you from doing so. They are just cracking down on dirty tunes and gutting of mandatory equipment...which is a looooooong time coming, imho.

Honestly, it's not even the government, it's all the tree hugging lobbyists pushing the government into some sort of action...but I digress.

Many H&S products and accessories not affected by this situation are still available, and will continue to be available through our dealer network and our website.
I wonder what will still be available. I'm going to guess nothing that tunes an engine.

I think im gonna stock up on these products for when the canadian government say "whow maybe we should do the same as our neighbours to the south eh." until then i am in total control of my engine. I think federal govmt needs to pull the reigns on these little state agencies and look at redirecting those funds back into strenghthening the economy cause h&s creates manufaturing jobs and dealers who supply those products to us also stimulate the economy. Check out canadian dealers they may still have a large inventory of products.

so what I don't understand is how can the EPA shut down a company that makes kits for "off-road" use, and IIRC requires the end consumer to sign an affidavit stating they are using it on an "off-road" vehicle.

unless H&S installed these at their shop where a truck was driven in off a public road and left on a public road I do not see them as being liable. the END user is the one to blame. they knowingly installed the DPF delete kit on an ON-road vehicle after stating that they were installing it on an "off-road" vehicle. there are too many individuals for them to go after and make it worth their while.

and for those saying to lay off ATS because the letter was never sent that threw H&S under the bus.... i am 99% sure once it surfaced on the internet the EPA was well aware of it.... all because H&S was hurting their bottom line.... it makes me almost want to remove my ATS flex plate.... almost... for the principal of the matter....

here is a great example, there is a GREAT exhaust shop here in town, they WILL NOT remove a CAT off a car unless they replace it with another. BUT they will do a catless exhaust IF you trailer the vehicle up there without a tag on it and with "drag" style tires installed as proof that it is an "offroad" vehicle and have the customer sign the receipt stating it is an "off-road" vehicle and emissions exempt. so unless EPA can PROVE that H&S sold and marketed these specifically to on-road trucks and willingly sold them for use on those vehicles or installed these on on-road use vehicles the EPA legally has no leg to stand on, IMHO....
