The content of this web page pertains to engines and vehicles which are used off the public highways. Federal law restricts the removal or modification of any part of a federally required emission controls system on motor vehicles. Further, many states have enacted laws which prohibit tampering with or modifying any required emission or noise control system. Vehicles which are not operated on public highways are generally exempt from most regulations, but the reader is strongly urged to check all applicable local and state laws.
Many of the parts described or listed on this web page are merchandised for off-highway application only, and are tagged with the following “Special Parts Notice”:
