Cobb hardware has a 1:1 "marriage" system with a given vehicle.
> a full emissions delete on a diesel pickup emits ~300x the pollution of an unmodified vehicle
This is gasoline tuning.
I agree that diesel defeat tuning is awful and should be aggressively destroyed. This isn't that. The calculus for gas tuning is dramatically different from diesel; the fundamental reason is basically that the operating range for a gas engine is tighter and they simply can't be made as dirty as a diesel (plus, the engines are generally physically smaller and just can't pump as much pollutant out no matter how hard you try).
- enragedcacti 2y agoAhh thanks for the correction, I mixed this up/assumed it was part of the EPA diesel tuning case from last week. You're totally right, gas tuning is definitely not a big deal by comparison although they definitely shouldn't have been facilitating the sale of cat deletes. A cat delete alone causes a 10x-100x increase in pollutants before tuning.
