Yes you do. Up there in Wisconsin, you don't have enforcement of the clean air act because there are more older cars than newer cars. The penalty (fine) for removing emission control equipment is quite steep. The catalytic converter being the steepest. Not that I care what you do with your car. I am just letting you know.

I have even disabled emission (EGR) on a different car. Milage is neglible. In other words, not enough to tell. In theory, it goes up. You are removing the inert gas that displaces oxygen in the intake, raising combustion temps. Toyota programs this into the strategy to recover the lost performance. On the car I disabled, it was done through a "chip".

Still wrong. No enforcement of the standards is what you and many others have. Go ahead and take it off. Then tell me your address. And we will see if you don't have "emissions"
milwaukee, wisconsin . 53218 all cars that are 95 and older requires no emission and did i say i was gonna take it off? NO! I was asking a question about MPG only for the people who took it off. please look it up and tell me that if we have emissions for obd1. ill bet you anything
I think the point being made is while you may be exempt from testing it's still criminal to tamper with emissions equipment in every state regardless of a vehicle's age. It's also a federal crime.
You will see a disclaimer that whatever thing they are selling is for "off road use only". It is then up to you to use it in the prescribed manner. If you choose to use it on-road, then get caught, well that's your problem.
