    Maybe you and your brother are better brothers but I wouldn't want to go that route myself. I'd be looking at an n14 swap instead of a cat, they're a little cheaper to find and build, still going to hurt though.
     
    Diesel Dave and Black389 Thank this.

    It would be considered a glider. And he won’t be able to run Cali.

    If your getting help from your family, might as well set it up the right way for your needs. Go “YELLOW”..... all the way. You won’t regret it. Keep us posted......
     
    Black389 Thanks this.

    I believe it is still technically illegal, but so is "forgetting" to put the new egr on when you take the old one off and that didnt bother him any and the law would probably look at it the same either way

    I’m in Cali, all I know as a fact, he won’t be able to run here legally with a yellow motor unless he runs the aftermarket DPF, and that’s legal only until the end of this year.

    That’s horse ####. I’m sitting on 830k and almost 39,000 engine hours. The problem is you had someone hack up the tune, and it’s a good chance you are dogging the #### out of it trying to show off your 600 hp.

    They made a 515 n14 and I do up to 150,000 with a 515 isx. And they hauled it long ago with even less than that.
