'08 Cummins?

I was planning on waiting for the "baby cummins" to come out in 2010, but the incentives are persuading me to buy an '08. I am very worried that the emissions stuff such as the dpf and egr will cause major problems. I know you can delete these two. But, is it legal to delete those two? I live in Louisiana. Do they check for that kind of stuff? I wish they made a dpf replacement to look like the real thing so they wouldn't know by just looking under? Can I purchase a dpf delete that just gets rid of the original dpf and uses the rest of the truck's stock exhaust? I will need a fooler box also. But is there a fooler box for the egr delete yet? Yes, I have spent some time reading all the posts that I could find that deals with egr and dpf delete. Any help is appreciated!

Is that a bad thing. It is cheaper and will clear codes. You think it would be a pain to manually have to clear codes through a menu and buttons?

For the price of a code free kit, you can buy HS Straight pipe kit and get the Edge box and EGR plate

There was a kid on here one day, He had the muffler shop gut his DPF and Nox filter. He thought it was like all of the other 5.9. Just gut and go. So needless to say he was in the market for a set of new filters.

Yes it's great isn't it. "lets take a perfectly sound, low maintenance, high MPG, work horse of a torque monster and see if we can criple it". The monster is still there, as soon as the budget allows I will let the beast out.
