De-cat exhaust system

[why?]

Is it not totally ridiculous that these things are easily preventable, are mandated to be prevented, that we are all given the tools on our OEM builds to do just that, and that some incredibly selfish people choose to remove those protections for no quantifiable reason whatsoever?

Some may wish it wasn't a big deal. Some may wish we didn't have to live with it. Some may wish that what they do doesn't affect others. But we're all old enough to realize that wishing something doesn't always make it so.

Acid rain wasn't caused by automobile exhaust. It was caused by many many different things. First and foremost was factory smokestacks with zero filters.

Guess what? They can't do that any more. Now factories have to spend lots of money on filters for their smokestacks.

No matter what anyone does to a Yaris, its emissions can never compare to a bus, or a semi, or even a light truck. All of which has emissions that are not regulated in the cases of busses or semi's, or are less regulated in the case of light trucks.

Blaming acid rain or any environmental problems on passenger automobiles is simply moronic, or it is used as a tool to control the mass public, and use them to suit someone's political agenda.
