Default All the emission parts??

What are all the things you can remove that have to do with controlling emissions but still have the car run fine after a tune? I've heard of AIR, EGR, PVC, CATS... What are all of them and does anyone have any good links on how to remove them? Thanks

The AIR/EGR sticky is a good place to start for info on them.

PCV (although its for relieving crankcase pressure, it does it into the manifold, so it's still an emissions piece in some sense) can be removed, but you will sacrifice some oil life in trade for no oil consumption by the motor.

The EVAP solenoid is located just above the #1 coil pack and allows gas tank vapors to vent into the manifold for burning. Deleting it only cleans up the engine bay.

be sure that you dont have any problems with your inspections. I see you are from California, they are strict out there.
