You can justify it all you want, just make sure you understand the consequences.Those "micro-regulations" as you call them exist for a reason. But that’s my point. I had my vehicle tested using the applicable defined protocols and it’s not violating the standard. I don’t think the regs are an adequate standard on NOx for urban areas, but it still passed when tested under simulated driving conditions. I didn’t defeat the sensor output (OBD-II interface) to pass testing, I just tuned it to report all the deleted gear was still in place (this turns out to be a feature in the vehicle config, so I didn’t have to hack anything). Otherwise it wouldn’t have progressed through the test. I wasn’t doing all that to get an emissions cert because I don’t need one, I just wanted to verify I wasn’t creating a monster...
